Who will play ACL Fest 2019? Childish Gambino? Cardi B? Miley Cyrus?

Look, we get that South by Southwest just ended, like, yesterday, and the official Austin City Limits Music Festival lineup won’t be out until May, but with the Lollapalooza lineup out this week (Lollapalooza is co-produced by Austin-based C3 Presents) and major artists releasing their fall tour schedules, we’re ready to start talking about who we think will make the roster for ACL Fest 2019.

Let’s start at the top. With his “This Is America” tour stunning audiences across the country, actor Donald Glover planned to retire his R&B/rap alter ego Childish Gambino last year. But an injury sidelined his tour right before he was set to headline ACL Fest. He’s been popping up on festival lineups again and now that he’s headlining Lollapalooza, a make-up date at ACL Fest seems like a shoo-in.

See, we get that South by Southwest simply finished, similar to, yesterday, and the official Austin City Limits Music Festival lineup won't be out until May, yet with the Lollapalooza lineup out this week (Lollapalooza is co-created by Austin-based C3 Presents) and real craftsmen discharging their fall visit plans, we're prepared to begin discussing who we think will make the program for ACL Fest 2019.



How about we begin at the top. With his "This Is America" visit shocking gatherings of people the nation over, on-screen character Donald Glover intended to resign his R&B/rap change conscience Childish Gambino a year ago. Yet, damage sidelined his visit directly before he was set to feature ACL Fest. He's been springing up on celebration lineups again and now that he's featuring Lollapalooza, a make-up date at ACL Fest appears like a shoo-in.

Discussing make-up exhibitions, recollect the Cardi B Jmblya set that never occurred? Issues with her pregnancy constrained her to drop her set at the hip-jump and EDM turn-up last May, and with her astounding 2018 collection "Attack of Privacy" consuming the outlines all late spring, she was likely too huge to rebook. She showed up at the Houston rodeo in March, and a May stop in El Paso is the main different Texas date on a visit plan that is by all accounts missing a second leg. We are confident that she'll make cash moves in October in Zilker Park.

It's been a long time since Lollapalooza main events Tame Impala played a nightfall set on one of the huge stages at ACL Fest. They likewise played the fest in 2013. From one viewpoint, that is a great deal of Tame Impala at one celebration. Then again, the Aussie band's psych shake sound resounds with a city that helped pioneer the class. We'll give it a 60 percent likelihood. Another Lollapalooza main event, Colombian reggaeton artist J Balvin, additionally appears to be a reasonable wagered for ACL 2019.

Miley Cyrus isn't playing Lollapalooza, yet we did simply discover she was set up for a feature opening on the Woodstock 50th Anniversary bill in mid-August. Cyrus has another collection in progress with new music due out this late spring, and as ACL Fest shares Cyrus' rootsy foundation, it appears to be an ideal blending.

Back to the Lollapalooza lineup, we should discount a few people: Ariana Grande will visit in Scandinavia amid the celebration and Twenty One Pilots will play the Erwin Center in June. The Strokes last featured in 2015 and Chainsmokers and Flume last played in 2016. Of every one of those specialists, the Strokes appear to be to the least extent liable to show up, on the grounds that the celebration appears to be hesitant to rehash main events so rapidly.

We should administer in certain conceivable outcomes: Kacey Musgraves, who drives the second level of Lollapalooza craftsmen, last played ACL Fest in 2016. She simply sold out two Stubb's shows not long ago. Her "Goodness, What a World" visit finishes in New Orleans on Sept. 28, which is ideal situating for an ACL Fest fly in.

Main residence saint Gary Clark Jr., who played the celebration's debut year in 2002 with blues senior W.C. Clark, most as of late played in 2015. His new collection "This Land" has been drawing national consideration and his visit finishes on Sept. 29. Appears to be likely we'll see him at ACL.

Jack Black's parody shake venture Tenacious D is on a visit that closes in August, and Death Cab for Cutie has a visit that hits San Antonio and Houston, yet not Austin, and finishes in September. Both appear genuine potential outcomes.

R&B specialists H.E.R. what's more, 6lack have wide open fall plans right presently as does King Princess, who simply made a major sprinkle at SXSW. Outside the box pop champion Mitski has June dates in Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, yet no Austin dates. Her visit finishes in August, making her an in all respects likely ACL hopeful.

Abandoning the Lollapalooza lineup, it's significant that British outing bounce act Massive Attack has a visit that closes in late September without coming anyplace close Texas, and '80s shake symbol Phil Collins is playing Houston and Dallas in September as a component of his "Not Dead Yet" visit. An ACL appearance would be a tight press for the 68-year-old rocker — he has gigs on both Fridays and Sundays of the celebration — however he has two free Saturdays amid the fest. It appears to be far-fetched that he would fly in on end of the week one, between dates in Buffalo and Pittsburgh (the end of the week two date falls between gigs in Denver and Omaha, which appears to be somewhat almost certain), yet on the off chance that ACL maker C3 presents could induce him to do it, he'd be an epic inheritance represent the 2019 fest.
