The Austin City Limits Festival has announced the complete line-up for the 10th anniversary edition of the three-day festival to be held in Austin's Zilker Park this September 16–18, and, says BlackBook, "Austin's just showing off now." Among the performers this year will be Randy Newman and Wanda Jackson.

Newman, who performed "Losing You" off his new album, Songbook Vol. 2, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, will play the festival's final day, on Sunday, September 18. Austin 360 includes Newman among the festival's best "gets," placing him at no. 3, just after Stevie Wonder and Kanye West. The site's Joe Gross calls Newman "the canniest songwriter of them all" and says his "songbook is a mind-blower."

Jackson, who blew audiences away with her performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum spring benefit concert on Saturday with what the Huffington Post calls "a perfect set," will take the stage on Saturday, September 17. The Wall Street Journal, in its review of the Hall of Fame concert, calls Jackson's Third Man / Nonesuch Records debut album, The Party Ain't Over, "one of this year's unexpected treats."

Three-day passes for the 2011 Austin City Limits festival have sold out; single-day tickets are on sale now. For more information, visit aclfestival.com. For details on additional upcoming performances on Newman and Jackson's schedules, go to nonesuch.com/on-tour.
