The benefit will also honor Lloyd Maines, who has appeared on Austin City Limits 16 times, more than any other artist in the show's thirty-nine year history. Maines helped to curate the evening's calvacade of all-star musical performances. Attendees will be able to see the Dixie Chicks, Courtyard Hounds, Natalie Maines, Ben Harper, Joe Ely, Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Terri Hendrix, Carolyn Wonderland and Terry Allen.

VIP tickets are still available. The VIP seats include: Premium seats, VIP Access to Backstage After Party, VIP Lanyard, and VIP ACL Gift Bags Including a Commemorative Poster.
