acl festival

Another great band to check out during this year’s ACL festival is alt rock band Young the Giant playing Saturday.

The California band first launched on the scene in 2004 under the moniker The Jakes. After changes in the band, the band relaunched as Young the Giant, and success has seemed to follow since.

ACL Aftershows are officially on sale Thursday morning.

ACL Festival week just got even more interesting: on Tuesday, September 13, C3 has just announced that Wisconsin's Bon Iver will perform at the Long Center.
