It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[sleeping]

they should have a halloween themed festival called whitchfork
Followed by a Christmas festival, Grinchfork.

[Krentistthedentist]

Bitchfork

LOL XBAD HOW HILARIOUS OF YOU TO RE USE THIS (ALREADY SHITTY) JOKE.

[xbadx1233]

I must be getting drunk because I laughed really hard at that

[xbadx1233]

I've now had like 4 people tell me that I'm dumb on this site.

That means I'm doing something right

[Audiobully]

ur so smart!

[MadBird11]

I've now had like 4 people tell me that I'm dumb on this site.

No, four of us have told you that you're a complete retard and everyone else on here doesn't care.

[nikolajz1]

I've now had like 4 people tell me that I'm dumb on this site.

That means I'm doing something right

I dont think you're dumb <3

[johnd12751]

im just wondering, and please dont bash me for this, but what does everyone think of the new black keys track? "Lonely Boy" I think its pretty good myself after not liking Brothers or Attack and Release.

[Audiobully]

I like just about anything they release, and that track is no different.

[johnd12751]

i dont know, it just sounds much rawer to me

[Nile19]

looks like its blur guys

I'm down. and the music video is pretty hilarious too

[Krentistthedentist]

I'd be amazed if you had heard of them before either album.

[El Goodo]

Well if he didn't already, he should check out the earlier stuff because it is much rawer than Brothers and Attack...

[MadBird11]

I was actually just thinking how MGMT would probably be a 6 at this point. Probably not this year, but maybe next.

[johnd12751]

I was actually just thinking how MGMT would probably be a 6 at this point. Probably not this year, but maybe next.

Yeah I think them, and Passion Pit (I know i'm forgetting others) are the speculations for a weak 6.

[oasisfan]

a weak 6 like Passion Pit or MGMT is better than a #1 of RHCP.

[johnd12751]

agreed 100 percent

[MadBird11]

a weak 6 like Passion Pit or MGMT is better than a #1 of RHCP.

In terms of quality, it's all kinda shitty.

[oasisfan]

least Passion Pit or MGMT would be somewhat fun.

[MadBird11]

But I hate Passion Pit, and MGMT is pretty awful live.

[arbee]

But I hate Passion Pit, and MGMT is pretty awful live.

wrong about MGMT

[oasisfan]

MGMT wasn't that impressive at Lolla 2010, and since they were there in 2010 as a sub they probably won't be there next year, but I feel like it's gotta be better than RHCP.

[MadBird11]

wrong about MGMT

If you say so.

[arbee]

i can't comment on MGMT at Lolla because I was elsewhere, but of the 3 times i have seen them, they were great the last 2.

[concertgoer]

It's not a popular opinion around here, but I really like Passion Pit

[arbee]

If you say so.

i do say so.

[MadBird11]

Are there any bands that you actually dislike, CG?

[concertgoer]

i can't comment on MGMT at Lolla because I was elsewhere, but of the 3 times i have seen them, they were great the last 2.

They were decent at Lolla 2010 and I enjoyed their show at Hard Rock live last year
Not a great live band imo, but it's a decent show

[concertgoer]

Are there any bands that you actually dislike, CG?

Derp

[MadBird11]

So yeah, just for lulz, I wen't back and skimmed most of this thread. I think this is the best post thus far.


Will Greg giving it to Opti while he blows Robert Smith be the grand finale?

If we're trying to be serious about an actual Lolla, Passion Pit would fit nicely.

Nope. That legitimately would be a great lineup. Trust me, I'm the last person that would base my musical tastes off of what people on the internet think.

You picked muse over coldplay I can't trust you. Nor do I trust almost anything I read on an internet forum like this.

i'm still thinking M83 is way more likely to headline/sub at p4k next year than to appear at lolla at all.

he could sub lolla, and be a nice lead into say DAFT PUNK :) its a pipe dream though.

[MadBird11]

they wouldn't even headline Pitchfork next year. Cut Copy spot at best.

[nikkirkpatrick]

what's impossible is every headliner being a repeat.

That could happen soon though :/ The "pool" of available headliner-level alternative rock bands has been steadily dwindling for years.

Peeeeeeaaaaaarrrrrlllllll Jaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm

[nikkirkpatrick]

there will always be an Eminem, or Coldplay, or MMJ, or Deadmau5 to keep it 'fresh'.

Nahhh I think it is that they reached their quota of blacks.

...

[damdamdam]

wavves as a sub headliner?

[concertgoer]

LOL no

[johnd12751]

VAN FUCKING HALEN

[stelles75]

LOL

I'd take any form of Van Halen and Wavves. Sue me. Okay... Gary Cherone is a little embarassing.

[damdamdam]

c'mon i'm not talking about whether you LIKE the band or not, but wavves has been rumored to release a full length lp in december

also they struck a deal with MTV, so they have been becoming increasingly popular

they've gotta be in consideration for sub-headliner, right?

[nikkirkpatrick]

wavves is not a sub-headliner. it's not really worth arguing.

[damdamdam]

give me one good reason why wavves is out of contention for a sub headliner.

[arbee]

because not enough people know/like/give a shit about them.

[damdamdam]

well what about the possibility of them being included in the fest at all?

[arbee]

i dunno....you, on the other hand might.

[damdamdam]

i will see metallica ( a shit band by the way) if lou reed tags along

[damdamdam]

and if the libertines came by some cosmic miracle i would shit my pants

[nikkirkpatrick]

The Strokes. Come at me Bro. I know you were not directing this towards me, but go, try to insult the Strokes.

Krentist, please dont help this guy.

[nikkirkpatrick]

my favorite band is modest mouse, although change is everywhere.

[Caseysitsallgood]

What are some legitimate electronic headliners for Lolla?

[Krentistthedentist]

Tiesto.
Skrillex will be by 2013 or 2014, probably.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Chemical Brothers
Justice (Borderline)

that's about it.

[Beefy Toe]

What are some legitimate electronic headliners for Lolla?
Steve Aoki

[johnd12751]

Daft Punk, Tiesto, Chemical Brothers, Justice, Armin van Buuren, The Prodigy, Massive Attack

[xbadx1233]

STS9 as well

[Krentistthedentist]

lol

[90sRevival]

Chemical Brothers did a fantastic job on the "Hanna" score.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

Oh that was Chemical Brothers? I really enjoyed it.

[Krentistthedentist]

I don't think there are any electronic headliners with the exception of Daft Punk who would excite me.
A number of bands I'd see during the day, tho.

[damdamdam]

nah no prob with strokes or modest...idg what u kids have against the libertines tho

[arbee]

I don't think anyone has anything against The Libertines. It's just not going to happen at Lollapalooza.

[nikkirkpatrick]

there's also the bit about lou rude and metallica.

and the thing about wavves sub-headlining.

although i think your definiteion of sub-headliner and ours might be different. for most people here, a sub-headliner is the band that plays the main stage before the headliner. a slot wavves will probably NEVER fill. although i would've said the same about wolfmother.

[Audiobully]

Lulu is the worst album I've ever heard in my life (and I'm by no means alone on that opinion). How could you possibly like that pile of dogshit?

[brynrich]

As much as I love my wavveyboi, it's not gonna happen.

Also, I've heard rumblings of the Decemberists taking some time off

[arbee]

With the critical reaction to Lulu, i can't see them ever performing it live. Maybe a guest appearance for a song or two, but that's it.

[Audiobully]

For their sakes, I hope you're right (and I think you are).

[MadBird11]

So... do we still get Metallica then?

[Krentistthedentist]

Metallica will hate Lou Reed too much to play with him.

[MadBird11]

But seriously, do we still have to put up with Metallica?

[Krentistthedentist]

I don't know what you mean by "put up with"
Their setlists are usually fine.

[MadBird11]

Well, I don't like metal.

So there's that.

[Krentistthedentist]

Prefacing your statement with "I'm a pussy" would've made this a lot less confusing.

[MadBird11]

Not all of us are blessed with good taste.

[joelmanfu]

As much as I love my wavveyboi, it's not gonna happen.

Also, I've heard rumblings of the Decemberists taking some time off

This is true. Colin Meloy confirmed that in an interview.

[brynrich]

You should badger him on Twitter

[Krentistthedentist]

They can't all be bryn rich

[brynrich]

Bryn Richin' ain't easy...

[TonyPicker690]

Nahhh I think it is that they reached their quota of blacks.

Was this before or after they had TV on the Radio headline?

[WretchedSkye2113]

I don't know what you mean by "put up with"
Their setlists are usually fine.

...well i'm guessing this tour is gonna include whatshisface and therefore will suck the big one.
edit: you tackled this on the previous page.

so, to make this post look more relevant and less derpy,
moar Sabbath talk plz.

[IAmScareMongering]

Why wouldn't Sabbath just do Ozzfest?

[nikkirkpatrick]

does ozzy even do ozzfest anymore? last one I went to SOAD headlined.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i'm guessing the news friday is gonna be a new Ozzfest.

[joelmanfu]

No Radiohead tour date in Chicago.... so far at least.

Those are only southern U.S dates, so of course any Chicago date wouldn't be announced yet. We'll see though

[Krentistthedentist]

I hope they don't play Lollapalooza.

[symbionese]

i hope they do. and exclusive fest appearance at that...

[90sRevival]

this isn't headliner stuff, but Mac Miller will probably be pretty high up there, right?

[symbionese]

white. and raps.

what do you think?

[Krentistthedentist]

this isn't headliner stuff, but Mac Miller will probably be pretty high up there, right?

Is he on my flawless wishlist?
If not, he will be there.

Die Bitch

[MadBird11]

While I agree with the sentiment, you're probably the last person to be critiquing someone's musical taste.

[johnd12751]

how?

[Krentistthedentist]

Die Bitch


While I agree with the sentiment, you're probably the last person to be critiquing someone's musical taste.

The sentiment and medium for said sentiment are both fucking retarded.
I don't think 90s Revival's post was in any way an indication that he approves of Mac Miller.
He was just questioning his popularity.
But that's about par for the course for you two geniuses, isn't it?

[johnd12751]

eh true.

[MadBird11]

To be fair, I at least recognize that I am a complete retard.

[TonyPicker690]

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Beck * Wilco
Black Keys * Beastie Boys * Justice

Animal Collective > Beck vs. Black Keys < The Shins
Band of Horses > Wilco vs. Beastie Boys < Lupe Fiasco
Queens of the Stone Age > RHCP vs. Justice < Passion Pit

[dij22]

That would be the smallest headliner group of all time.

[Krentistthedentist]

Seriously.
That looks like fucking Langerado.

[TonyPicker690]

Yeah, I overlooked that trying to include headliners I really wanted to see. Just swap Radiohead for Beck then. Maybe a bigger EDM headliner instead of Justice, The Chemical Bros?


Radiohead * Red Hot Chili Peppers * Wilco
Black Keys * Beastie Boys * The Chemical Brothers

[IAmScareMongering]

Wilco would not be ahead of Beasties, and probably behind The Black Keys at this point.

[xbadx1233]

To be fair, I at least recognize that I am a complete retard.

There's one for the record books

[Krentistthedentist]

Someone make a realistic prediction now.

[nikolajz1]

Mumford and Sons 3 nights unopposed

[MadBird11]

Someone make a realistic prediction now.

Realistically, we will not be able to make realistic guesses until January.

My prediction is that people will continue to throw random names out there until then.

[MadBird11]

There's one for the record books

FYI, I have admitted that, due to my lack of talent at the internet and general inexperience with music, I don't always "get it right". Again, I'm really not sure who you are to say something about it.

[Krentistthedentist]

When MadBird slips out from under the watchful eye of the clique in the fans lounge, he instantly goes into tough guy mode.

[symbionese]

[sleeping]

Eh, they'll post the Lolla Brazil and Lolla Chile lineup in a couple of weeks. There was no headliner overlap in 2011 but we got some subs and undercard from Chilepalooza. Also once Ultra 2012 lineup drops we'll know who the EDM headliner candidates are.

[symbionese]

we. we.

.

[WretchedSkye2113]

RHCP, Ye, and The Black Keys are pretty solid realistic guesses.
all the #1 speculations have just been everyone's favorite bands and the 5 and 6 slots have been fillers.

[xbadx1233]

Eh, they'll post the Lolla Brazil and Lolla Chile lineup in a couple of weeks. There was no headliner overlap in 2011 but we got some subs and undercard from Chilepalooza. Also once Ultra 2012 lineup drops we'll know who the EDM headliner candidates are.

Justice is already heavily rumored, so I would go with them

[symbionese]

yeah... but you don't know shit.

[Thisismyname]

Ultra headliners don't really show anything, consider 2/3 are the same every year.

[dij22]

If I was a betting man:

Metallica * RHCP * Kanye
Phish * Wilco * The Black Keys

[WretchedSkye2113]

can Phish still pull a headliner audience?
and no, i do not know how big their crowds at their latest ACL or Roo appearances were.

[symbionese]

i know tons of chi-town hippies that would buy day passes for phish.

[dij22]

Oh yeah, they can easily be a south stage headliner.

[dij22]

care to be?

I probably shouldn't bet against the one guy on the board with insider info.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Oh yeah, they can easily be a south stage headliner.

really? south?
not questioning you, i just know zilch about their popularity.

[Thisismyname]

I feel like he got his cardinal directions confused.

But my two cents, they are definitely a headliner no questions asked, but they'd probably be north stage one simply because they are outside the box of normal lolla headliners.

Someplace like Roo though? Still huge.

[arbee]

i know tons of chi-town hippies that would buy day passes for phish.

Occupy Chicago-Phase 2

[symbionese]

but they'd probably be north stage one simply because they are outside the box of normal lolla headliners.

like gaga?

[Thisismyname]

Gaga fits in the modern lolla mold better than Phish does.

[dij22]

South is the main headliner stage, right? But yeah, Phish would guarantee a sell-out of that day regardless. For reference, last time they played Chicago, they played 3 nights at UIC and sold it out instantly. They could very easily sell out two nights at the Allstate/United Center.

[MadBird11]

When MadBird slips out from under the watchful eye of the clique in the fans lounge, he instantly goes into tough guy mode.

That was the exact same line of reasoning I use anywhere on the board, minus the last comment.

[Krentistthedentist]

Phish rox

[90sRevival]

Kanye-a-thon

[FrankieTeardrop]

Alright, my guesses

Jay-Z and Kanye West vs Jane's Addiction

Kanye has played at Lolla so many times the deal would slide through faster than a hot dog in a hallway, plus a set with Jay-Z to promote the new album would be a sure thing. Jane's Addiction has a new album, and the rest is obvious.

David Guetta vs Red Hot Chili Peppers

David Guetta got ranked number 1 DJ in the world and has a strong following, so he is a very possible option. RHCP has the same policy as Kanye.

blink-182 vs Rush
Rush said they were playing a festival sometime next Summer, and if it's not Bonnaroo, this one is sure fire.

OTHERS:
Beastie Boys (make-up for 2009)
Lil Wayne
Katy Perry
Adele
Duran Duran
Slipknot
Daft Punk
Lou Reed and Metallica
Sublime With Rome
Radiohead
Lady Gaga
Also, if an induction from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame results in a GNR reunion, they could be a potential candidate.

And, on a side not, I think OFWGKTA is gonna play with a, hopefully by that time, free Earl.

[El Goodo]

You forgot: U2, The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Janet Jackson, The Killers, Kings of Leon, and Roger Waters, though.

Also, if an induction from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame results in a GNR reunion, they could be a potential candidate.



None of those are going to happen.

[Audiobully]

How do you know?

[MadBird11]

After last year, nobody knows what to expect.

[symbionese]

After last year, nobody knows what to expect.

i do.

[MadBird11]

I just assumed it was so obvious at this point that we didn't even need to mention it anymore. My bad.

[joelmanfu]

None of those are going to happen.

man, you must be tight with C3

[MadBird11]

man, you must be tight with C3

He's no symbionese.

[oasisfan]

Florence as a possible 5 or 6?

[MadBird11]

One song a headliner does not make... At anywhere other than Lolla. But I still don't think so.

[oasisfan]

She's gaining popularity though, and if the next album does good I think it boost her into the headliner status.

[Thisismyname]

I could see it happening.

[MadBird11]

She's big enough, I just don't want it to happen.

[oasisfan]

If anything once they release Brazil and Chile's lineup it could give us an idea of who won't be there.

[oasisfan]

She's big enough, I just don't want it to happen.

I didn't want Eminem.

[Broc1123]

No.

[danzip53]

Beastie Boys (make-up for 2009)

The Beastie Boys have nothing to make up for

[symbionese]

truth.

[90sRevival]

I've been looking for news on the cancer with Adam for so long.. has anything been said?

[Driftwood]

One song a headliner does not make... At anywhere other than Lolla. But I still don't think so.

Selling out Aragon puts you on the bubble.

[Krentistthedentist]

$25 ticket, though...

[MadBird11]

At that price, multiple days would've been more impressive. I would still see them as a 7-9 sub.

[Driftwood]

$25 ticket, though...

Still on album one. That's where Phoenix ($25 sold out Aragon show) where at around the same time and they didn't have another album to release.

[Driftwood]

At that price, multiple days would've been more impressive. I would still see them as a 7-9 sub.

Some years a 7 is a 6. So they are on the bubble.

[oasisfan]

If we get 4 big headliners like we did this year, then florence is a definite 5 or 6.

[Krentistthedentist]

Who is the strongest #6 ever? The weakest? (2007- present)

[nikolajz1]

Who is the strongest #6 ever? The weakest? (2007- present)

If by strongest you mean biggest....Strongest 6 would have been KoL in 2009

[El Goodo]

Worst Lolla set I have seen.

[TonyPicker690]

Worst Lolla set I have seen.

Agreed.


Also, it probably doesn't count since they were a replacement for the Beasties. But wouldn't the Yeah Yeah Yeahs be the smallest? They were put in the 6th, KOL moved to 5th.

For original lineups, KOL or Deadmau5 the biggest. Phoenix is probably the smallest.

[nikolajz1]

Worst Lolla set I have seen.

Eminem wins that for me.

[Krentistthedentist]

Worst Lolla set I have seen.

That's your own fucking fault for missing Depeche Mode

[nikolajz1]

That's your own fucking fault for missing Depeche Mode

Debore Mode

[snoopydoggy2002]

Why would anyone see kings of leon over depeche mode? it actually baffles me that people on here did that.

[Krentistthedentist]

Debore Mode

Seen both bands and this is an absolutely ridiculous statement.
If Kings of Leon are this dull now, I can only imagine how dull they will be by the time they're as old as Gahan & Co, who still put on a very good show.

[MadBird11]

Why would anyone see kings of leon over depeche mode? it actually baffles me that people on here did that.

I was in it for the sex.

[Unlikely Japan]

The depeche mode show was great... I'm starting to think it's the last headlining set I'll ever see on the south stage

[MadBird11]

Did you miss Green Day? If so, you missed a good show.

[Unlikely Japan]

I didn't go that day, I would have seen Phoenix though. I just went to their aftershow instead

[concertgoer]

That's your own fucking fault for missing Depeche Mode

This

[nikolajz1]

Did you miss Green Day? If so, you missed a good show.

I love Green Day, but I have a hard time believing they were better than Phoenix. Before Coldplay this year, Phoenix was the best set I've seen at Lolla, and close to the best all time.

[TonyPicker690]

Why would anyone see kings of leon over depeche mode? it actually baffles me that people on here did that.

I stuck with my group friends that day.

I have new friends now.

[concertgoer]

Fuck Metallica and Lou Rude give me this

That'd be awesome.

[oasisfan]

Be better if it was Master of Puppets or ...And Justice For All.

[Krentistthedentist]

Or better yet Kill 'Em All

[oasisfan]

I'm not as big into Kill 'Em All as Master, Justice, or Ride the Lightning but yes it would be better than the Black Album.

[Krentistthedentist]

Too bad it's not Slayer performing RIB.
Guess Download isn't ATP cool.

[oasisfan]

meet in the middle and get Rage performing total discography?

[Nile19]

That was a really fun set.

you need to get out more.

[Krentistthedentist]

lol That's below both.

[Krentistthedentist]

you need to get out more.

At your two Lollas who was the best headliner*

*To make this interesting, you can't say the Yeah Yeah Yeahs since I'm sure that's what you were going to answer.

[symbionese]

of the two chicago fests?

[nanatod]

Why would anyone see kings of leon over depeche mode? it actually baffles me that people on here did that.

because I saw depeche at poplar creek around the time when "people are people" was their only hit, and when I did, I thought they put on a terrible live performance back then, and I had never seen kol and liked the song "molly's chmabers."

Image fail

[oasisfan]

lol That's below both.

and I was starting to really like you.

[VampireWeekday]

Are we allowed to start back up the talks of Black Sabbath again, now that the reunion is official?

http://consequenceofsound.net/2011/11/black-sabbath-reunites-for-new-album-massive-tour/

At that, here is a shot in the dark prediction.

Black Sabbath – The Throne – Blink-182
Phish – The Black Keys – Tiesto

Black Sabbath vs. Tiesto
The Throne vs. Phish
Blink-182 vs. The Black Keys

[MadBird11]

No, because Ozzfest.

[austincarstens]

That was a really fun set.

It was a lot of fun. My friend and I were actually front row and we got to high five the lead singer...one of my fondest memories involving pot.

[Krentistthedentist]

No, because Ozzfest.

Pretty sure the tour is going to be in the fall, which is when ozzfest does not happen.

[Audiobully]

Lolla could be the beginning of the tour. That would fucking kick ass.

[MadBird11]

Pretty sure the tour is going to be in the fall, which is when ozzfest does not happen.

Even so, with the stellar track record Lolla has with booking metal bands, I wouldn't get too excited... Yet.

[KevBlu42]

I don't see Black Sabbath happening.

Didn't Ozzy originally start Ozzfest in reaction to being told he wasn't "cool" enough (or "too old," or something to that effect) to play on one of the early Lollapalooza tours?

[MadBird11]

Times have changed, Perry's gotten older, and who knows who they're going to trot out on the south stage nowadays.

[Thisismyname]

Ozzfest brings in much more money for the Osbournes than any of the majors can. Unless this "reunion" is just going to be a handful of shows because they're all too old to make it through an entire tour (plausible), then I just can't see them playing any other festival.

[IAmScareMongering]

Pretty sure the tour is going to be in the fall, which is when ozzfest does not happen.

So they're going to do Download and then sit around for 3 months?

[Audiobully]

So they're going to do Download and then sit around for 3 months?

My thought too regarding that.

[IAmScareMongering]

I mean I guess they could pull a Soundgarden, but that seems like the exception rather than the norm.

[Audiobully]

I see Faith No More is at it again. I would take that over Black Sabbath (although I know I'm in the EXTREME minority on this one).

[xbadx1233]

I honestly can't see Sabbath playing Lolla.

[MadBird11]

Be down with FNM. Sabbath I could give or take.

[KevBlu42]

I'd take Faith No More over Red Hot Chili Peppers any day.

[IAmScareMongering]

Most decent people would.

[danzip53]

WHAT IS IT!?
