Brand-new ACL 2010 adds The Black Lips

​The Austin City Limits Music Festival released the schedule grid for this year's gathering in Zilker Park Oct. 7-9. The festival also added several bands, including Atlanta garage-punks (and recovering exhibitionists) the Black Lips; pop-punk agitators Ted Leo & the Pharmacists; alt-country swooners Grace Potter & the Nocturnals; Austin dream-twang group Shearwater; and shoegazey alt-rockers Silversun Pickups, whom Rocks Off could have sworn were there when the lineup was released back in May, but in any case will be at Warehouse Live next Tuesday for a preview.

Single-day tickets and three-day passes are completely sold out. A limited number of VIP tickets and ACL Travel Packages, which include either three-day VIP or general-admission passes and three nights at an Austin hotel. See www.aclfestival.com for further information.

After the jump, Rocks Off breaks down the schedule day by day.
