No Limits.

Depeche Mode, The Cure, Wilco, D'Angelo Highlight First Ever Two-Weekend Austin City Limits.

About an hour ago, at midnight, C3 Presents announced the lineup for this year's coming Austin City Limits Music Festival, which, for the first time since launching as a two-day event in 2002, is following Coachella's lead and will now go down as two separate but equal three-day affairs in October.

And, immediately, it's obvious that, a la Costco, there is indeed value in bulk purchases: Depeche Mode, The Cure, Muse, Kings of Leon, Atoms For Peace, Lionel Richie, Phoenix, Wilco, Vampire Weekend, The National, Fun., Kendrick Lamar, D'Angelo and Jimmy Eat World are among the bill's many, many highlights.

Three-day passes to each consecutive weekend of this year's festival — October 4-6 first, then October 11-13 — will go on sale for $225 a pop right here starting at 10 a.m. on May 7 (read: early tomorrow morning or, mayhaps, later today, depending on what time you read this).

Some quick thoughts on this year's offering? Sure, you got it.

• After years of catering to the EDM-hungry masses, this year's bill takes a significant step back in that regard. There are tons of electronic-indebted artists on this bill, sure (see: The Cure, Depeche Mode, Grimes, etc.), but Kaskade is basically the sole quote-unquote rave representative appearing anywhere on this bill.

• There's always a bit of a choir and gospel presence at ACL, but this year's bill just seems to be filled with such acts. Scroll about two-thirds of the way down the below-posted full lineup and you'll start to see what I'm taking about. (Or, if you'd prefer, you can scroll to the very bottom of this post and watch swarms of Austin-dwelling bats literally spell the lineup out for you.)

• ACL has rarely, if ever, catered too much to the worlds of hip-hop and R&B, and this year is no different. After Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo — big gets in these genres, for sure — you'll be hard-pressed to find much else here that can be classified as either a hip-hop or R&B act without some stretching.

• The big winner here? Gotta figure it's North Texas. Year after year, North Texas is flooded with spillover shows as middle-billed bands head in and out of Austin for this fall festival. Now, this year, with all of these acts contractually obligated to play Austin for two consecutive weekends, not only will we be getting shows from bands headed in and out of Austin, but we're bound to see an influx of even more ACL-booked bands coming to town on October 7, 8, 9 and 10 — those four sure-to-be-glorious days between ACL's first and second weekends. Unless, that is, C3 was somehow able to stretch out its non-compete radius clause to beyond North Texas' limits (not likely), in which case the Oklahoma casinos are looking like a pretty ballin' place to be this October (only slightly less likely).
