While the rest of the world is still busy coming up with alliterative comments to describe Brittany Spears' performance on MTV's music awards show, Austin is all a twitter with rumors after the White Stripes pulled out of both ACL Fest and their after-show performance at Stubb's. While there is no refund available for ACL tickets, those who purchased tickets for their show at Stubb's can contact them about a refund.
Fans moved quickly to start lots of rumors about replacement acts (U2, ZZ Top, and just about everyone imaginable), but Charles Attal of C3 productions equally quickly quashed those rumors by announcing that the other bands would just move their sets back, with Muse taking the White Stripes' slot. This now makes three acts, the others being Amy Winehouse and Rodrigo Y Gabriela, that have canceled their ACL appearances this year, leaving fans wondering if there are more cancellations on the horizon.
One ACL artist showing no signs of canceling is Bob Dylan. Still slotted as the ACL headliner, Bob has announced that he will be doing an ACL aftershow at Stubb's. Fans hoping for tickets shouldn''t worry, as there are none available. Tickets were offered first to Bob's fan club members, then one thousand were made available to the public on Monday through a pre-sale. Those didn't even last an hour.
