Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band and the Beastie Boys will headline this year’s Austin City Limits festival, taking place in the Texas capital’s Zilker Park October 2-4th. The eclectic bill also includes current Rolling Stone cover stars Kings of Leon, Sonic Youth, Ben Harper and Relentless7, the Dead Weather, Arctic Monkeys and over 150 more acts from the world of rock, rap, folk and blues.

If a festival headlined by Pearl Jam, DMB and the Beasties sound familiar, there’s a good reason for it: The three bands will also be the marquee acts at San Francisco’s Outside Lands festival. For Pearl Jam, the ACL show is only the second announced date on their U.S. itinerary. DMB is spending the entire summer on the road in support of Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King and the Beastie Boys are pretty much playing anything that has the word “Festival” in it, booking slots at Lollapalooza and All Points West.

Grizzly Bear, the B-52’s, Girl Talk, Bon Iver, Lily Allen, the Levon Helm Band, Toadies and tons more will be on hand for the three-day event, with tickets priced at $185. Full lineup after the jump.

Toadies, Toadies, Toadies!

Why is Jack White’s new band so high on this list when they have been playing for about two months. Just because Jack White is involved, doesn’t mean that they should be above others like Levon Helm. Don’t get me wrong, I love jack White but it doesn’t that they should get a better time slot than all of the other bands on here that have been on the road longer.

Finally……Pearl Jam returns to Austin….and to teach ACL how to rock again!

Scott Avett | 4/28/2009, 11:42 am EST

The Avett Brothers should be top billing. Also Bon Iver and Blitzen Trapper should be much higher on the list!

One Addition | 4/28/2009, 12:15 pm EST

The Butthole Surfers with Jack White and Thurston sitting in on Sweat Loaf.

GOD BLESS YOU PEARL JAM!

PJ! And Jack White is a genius. I doubt him occasionally and am always chastened when I do. You always give him the benefit of the doubt.

Tommy | 4/29/2009, 1:42 am EST

Seems like a lot of bands are hittin the festival circuit this summer. Many of the bands listed here are also booked for other festivals.

Doesn’t matter who is on the bill…as long as PJ is playing, they are headlining, period.

RESPECT.

LOL | 4/29/2009, 6:06 pm EST

Any of you Jam fans want to weigh in on the Creed vs Pearl Jam debate in the Creed article? It’s been pretty hilarious so far.

Jamesmonzon | 4/29/2009, 6:42 pm EST

Yeah Toadies! They better play on the at&t stage because there going to get a crowd just as large as a headliner!

Jeremy | 4/30/2009, 8:44 am EST
