Who Needs ACL Fest?

The annual Voodoo Music Experience, normally held in New Orleans, is instead coming to Austin on Halloween weekend (October 29-30). The festival will now serve as a fundraiser for Katrina victims. The existing lineup includes the Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Queens of the Stone Age, and the New York Dolls, though I guess some of the bands might drop out due to change of venue. Tickets are $60 for the weekend, and previously purchased tickets will be honored, so if you're an Austinite and you trust E!Online as a news source, buy tickets now before it sells out. Considering how much cheaper these tickets are than ACL Fest ($50/day), and considering how much cooler the weather should be, I'd like to go (even if the line-up is not as good). Hooray for music!

UPDATE (9/23): Looks like Memphis will be the host. Bastards.
