            Austin City Limits Music Festival Schedule Announcement on Tuesday
            Limited allotment of Single Day tickets to be released and new artists added to lineup


The 2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival schedule will be available online at www.aclfestival.com
                 rd
Tuesday, June 3 , at 8am CST. Daily grids will outline the 130-plus band set times and stages for the
three-day event, happening September 26-28 at Zilker Park. Fans can go to the ACL Festival website to
organize their 2008 experience down to the hour, create a custom schedule, and even forward it to friends
to get coordinated.

Three-day passes are selling at a brisk clip but are still available for $170. Limited quantities of single day
tickets will also go on-sale tomorrow for $80, until sellout or show time. Prices are inclusive of all fees, so no
additional charges will be added to the published ticket price at checkout. Festival ticket buyers also have
the option of printing tickets themselves to avoid shipping fees. Admission is free for kids ten and under
accompanied by a ticketed adult.

New additions to the already diverse 2008 bill include Blues Traveler, Old 97's, Adele, Abigail Washburn &
the Sparrow Quartet featuring Béla Fleck, Rodney Crowell, Dan Dyer, The Black & White Years, Mugison,
and The M's. A special addition to this year's lineup is Les Frères Guissé from Dakar, Senegal. They are
making their ACL Festival debut as part of the music program of Senegalese non-profit SEEDS, which is
focused on preparing African youth to become global citizens and lead positive transformation in Africa and
around the world. See the next page for the full 2008 Austin City Limits Music Festival lineup.

When it comes to presenting live music, Austin City Limits embodies its motto of "Great Music. No Limits."
Accomplishing what no other show has done in the history of American television, the series has, for more than 30
years, presented audiences with the most diverse, original, cutting-edge talent music has to offer. Staying on the
cusp of technology, ACL appears in dynamic high definition on PBS HD channels where available and airs nationally
on 97% of the country's PBS stations. Austincitylimits.org features performance clips, extended interviews and photo
galleries from spotlighted artists, and archival footage of historical performances from the great stage of Austin City
Limits.

Produced by KLRU-TV, funding for Austin City Limits is provided in part by AT&T, Inc., AMD, Budweiser and the
Austin Convention Center Department. Additional funding is provided by the Friends of Austin City Limits.

Austin Parks Foundation has funded 17 park projects totaling $193,300 thanks to a share of proceeds from the 2006
