From the time music fans waded out of the Dillo Dirt sludge at last year’s mud-soaked ACL weekend, they were already dreaming about the next year’s lineup.

While some people delight in picking fantasy baseball teams and predicting the March madness bracket, for many Austinites, picking and predicting the Austin City Limits musical festival lineup is a sport all its own.

But Internet rumors and personal theories were put to the test early this morning when the official 2010 ACL line-up was announced.

This year’s festival, scheduled for Oct. 8-10, now has 113 bands confirmed. Old timers and young rock aficionados alike will be pleased to see groups like The Eagles and Phish joining this year’s lineup.

The group of headliners is rounded out with ACL veterans Muse, rapper M.I.A, eccentric performers The Flaming Lips and The Strokes, who are spending the summer headlining festivals to promote their forthcoming album due next January.

Other big names scheduled to grace the stage include Vampire Weekend, Gogol Bordello, Yeasayer, Spoon, Norah Jones, Monsters of Folk, LCD Soundsystem, Blues Traveler and Robert Earl Keen.

Fresh off their South by Southwest performances, buzz bands Broken Bells, the XX, Miike Snow and Dawes will be making their returns to Austin.

And, of course, local bands are getting in on the action. Austin performers gracing the stage include metal band The Sword, West Virginia transplants Asleep at the Wheel and Western Vinyl signees Balmorhea.

While this is the official lineup, it is always subject to change.

Performers like Lily Allen, the White Stripes and Amy Winehouse have all dropped from the schedule in years past for one reason or another, and it is not uncommon for bands to be added closer to the date.

Three-day passes have already sold out, but individual tickets to each day of the three-day festival are still available for $85 at this time.
