Muse Replacing White Stripes For ACL

The Tripwire's got all the dirt on the recent update: *Stop feeling anxious about finding out who is going to replace The White Stripes for their two Austin shows. (Stop spreading those Bjork rumors as well...she hasn't canceled.) NME is reporting that Muse is being bumped up into the headlining spot for Saturday at Austin City Limits, and they will also be playing Stubbs on Sunday. Originally both shows were supposed to be done by Jack and Meg, but all that changed when Meg fell ill with anxiety yesterday.*

White Stripes Cancel ACL Headlining Gig

Austin 360 reports: *The White Stripes have canceled their Saturday ACL headlining gig and Stubb’s show on Sunday. ACL producer Charles Attal cited medical reasons for the cancellation. No word yet on who is filling either show.*

Bummer!
