ACL 2026: Villanelle

Sunday at 1:15pm.  Per Rolling Stone:

They have yet to drop their debut EP, but the trio led by Gene Gallagher — son of Liam — are already generating big buzz all across the U.K.

The rest is behind a paywall.  This article says:

Villanelle were given a proper baptism of fire when Liam Gallagher invited them to be the opener on his 2024 anniversary tour of Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’.

That's nice. It also says:

The AFL team will have been eagerly awaiting the release of the band’s debut EP ‘Measly Means’: a gnarly dose of Smashing Pumpkins and Black Sabbath with a truck full of ‘90s colour and swagger.

The EP has now been released.   5 songs.  Grunge sound.

"Placebo" is the last song on the EP but it's their most streamed song on Spotify. The ending is good. Would be a good way to end the show.

"Measly Means" is the opener.  Very Nirvana-ish.

This was probably my favorite.  Also Nirvana.

Not my thing. May be a good time to listen to a little gospel, then grab a bloody mary.
