The winter broadcasts begin January 3 with The Avett Brothers and Nickel Creek, while Spoon, Sam Smith, Ryan Adams and The Black Keys are just some of the acts confirmed as part of the lineup.

The Foos Fighters will perform on the February 7 episode. The group filmed the recording of "What Did I Do?/God As My Witness" in the ACL's historic Studio 6A in March as part of the "Sonic Highways" album and companion HBO series.
