$10,000

We had some fun yesterday trying to guess the bill for the 2011 Austin City Limits Musical Festival — and, hey, we were right about Kanye West, if nothing else. Early this morning, the folks behind the festival announced for full lineup for their end-of-summer offering. And, as expected, the 10th anniversary offering of the festival features some nice gets.

Among the September 16-18 festival’s highlights: On Friday, Kanye West headlines with some help from Coldplay and Bright Eyes; on Saturday, Stevie Wonder will top off a lineup that also features My Morning Jacket, TV on the Radio and Alison Krauss & Union Station; and, on Sunday, Arcade Fire closes out the bill alongside performances from Fleet Foxes, Death From Above 1979 and (yes!) Randy Newman.

After the jump, check out the lineup in full, with the names we accurately guessed listed in italics. Turns out we didn’t do too terribly after all!
