ACL 2026: Parcels

Sunday at 7:30pm.  Last band preview of the year.  They play opposite War on Drugs and Blood Orange. 

Wikipedia says they are an Australian band formed in Byron Bay who moved to Berlin shortly after forming. They describe themselves as "sort of a blend between electropop and disco-soul".

They collaborated with Daft Punk for their first single "Overnight".  I can tell.

Also from Wikipedia: Ahead of their appearance at the 2025 edition of the festival, the Glastonbury website described Parcels' music as influenced by Daft Punk, Fleetwood Mac, and Chic.

Here is their NPR Tiny Desk Concert.

"Gamesofluck" has a Jungle vibe.

This is their most streamed song.

ACL 2026: Fcukers

Sunday at 6:30pm on the Tito's stage.  ACL alumni Geese and Sofi Tukker are also playing at this time. 

This is a duo out of NYC that plays electronic and "UK Garage" music, according to Wikipedia.  

They collaborated with James Murphy on this remix of "Los Angeles".

They have opened for Tame Impala and Harry Styles.  That's a wide range.

"Homie Don't Shake" samples "Devil's Haircut".  It has an LCD vibe.

"L.U.C.K.Y." is a chill dance tune.

This is one of their most streamed songs.

ACL 2026: Cannons

Sunday at 5:30pm.  They were at ACL in 2024.  Preview here. We saw Orville Peck instead.  They're my first choice.  Three of the four bands at this time are out of L.A. Just an observation.

We know their big songs. Here are some of their newer songs.

"Starlight" is one of the first songs on their most recent setlists. Later Fleetwood Mac feel.

"Carousel" is chill. Good late afternoon festival tune.

This is the next to the last song on their setlists before they play "Fire for You" (Great song).

ACL 2026: Noga Erez

Sunday at 5:30pm on the Beatbox stage. She played ACL in 2021.  Preview here. We opted to see Amber Mark instead.

Per Wikipedia:

In December 2024, she revealed that she is facing an international boycott due to her Israeli nationality: "I really wish it was just one case, but the list kind of keeps growing. It’s not for anything that I said, it’s simply because I was born where I was born.

Despite that she has still opened for Florence and the Machine and Pink and is playing both Coachella and ACL.

"Vandalist" is from her last album. I like it.

"Dumb" is fun.

This is her latest single. Fun lyrics.  Of the two rappers on at this time she would be my choice.

ACL 2026: Lauren Sanderson

Sunday at 5:30pm on the BMI stage. From Wikipedia:

Lauren Sanderson (born January 13, 1996) is an American singer and songwriter originally from Fort Wayne, Indiana, currently based in Los Angeles. Her music blends influences from pop, R&B and hip hop,

She wrote a brief bio about herself.  I won't paste it so go read it here if you're interested.

"COME SAY SUM" features Fred Durst. I doubt you'll like it.

"Smoking Section" is from her latest album. The chorus is catchy.

This is more mellow.
