It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[austincarstens]

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).

I would go with fnm. I would love a chance to see them.

[oasisfan]

Faith No More wouldn't headline now though.

[KevBlu42]

Faith No More wouldn't headline now though.

I think they would. They'd probably just be a 5 or 6.

[oasisfan]

No, they would be a subheadliner at this point. They just aren't popular enough to pull a 5 or 6 spot now. They have the same popularity as, in my opinion at least, Ween had last year when they were subs.

[Audiobully]

I don't care where they are on the lineup.

[MookieDaddy]

Are you guys just trying to lure Carl back to the board with this FNM talk?

[c1916]

If Faith No More doesn't get Carl back, maybe threads about converting flash to video will.

[nikkirkpatrick]

i found that thread very informative.

[Mikedarippa]

Does anyone think Queen is a possibility?

[concertgoer]

Nope

[WretchedSkye2113]

perhaps he/she meant QotSA...

[MadBird11]

Nope

.

[Krentistthedentist]

Does anyone think Queen is a possibility?

The day you learn about the concept of death is going to be a hard one.

[MookieDaddy]

The day you learn about the concept of death is going to be a hard one.

lol...

[Driftwood]

No, they would be a subheadliner at this point. They just aren't popular enough to pull a 5 or 6 spot now. They have the same popularity as, in my opinion at least, Ween had last year when they were subs.

Nah they are probably closer to A Perfect Circle. So some years they could headline and others years they couldn't.

[Thisismyname]

Judging by the crowd they pulled at Coachella...

Subheadliner, and that's almost generous.

[oasisfan]

Nah they are probably closer to A Perfect Circle. So some years they could headline and others years they couldn't.

That's far too generous for FNM. They're a couple years away from being in the Cars spot really.

[johnd12751]

That's far too generous for FNM. They're a couple years away from being in the Cars spot really.

except featuring..... moving

[oasisfan]

who could be in the Cars spot this year?

[MadBird11]

GBV hopefully.

[concertgoer]

Maybe The Cranberries or Garbage?

[oasisfan]

I would see GBV.

[oasisfan]

and I would scream zombie, zombie, zombie if the Cranberries play.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

I had a dream last night that I saw No Doubt play at Lolla.

[arbee]

better there than Coachella....although I hope they are at none of the above

[johnd12751]

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Kanye West * Daft Punk
The Cure * The Black Keys * The Racounters
Florence and The Machine * Queens of the Stone Age
Common * Neutral Milk Hotel * The Shins * Lupe Fiasco
Silversun Pickups * Yeasayer * M83


(Primus) RHCP vs The Black Keys (The Shins) vs M83
(Lupe Fiasco) Daft Punk vs The Racounters (Queens of the Stone Age) vs Yeasayer
(Common) Kanye West vs The Cure (Florence) vs Silversun Pickups

[concertgoer]

I don't see DP and NMH being at Lolla
The rest is somewhat plausible

[MadBird11]

I'm sorry, but why is Neutral Milk Hotel getting tossed around as a possibility?

[concertgoer]

Also fuck Ye vs The Cure

[Krentistthedentist]

I don't see DP and NMH being at Lolla
The rest is somewhat plausible

Kanye won't be there.
The Cure won't be there.

I think Drake will be there, though!

[concertgoer]

I could see Kanye playing next year

[MadBird11]

Why is Neutral Milk Hotel getting tossed around as a possibility?

.

[dij22]

It's not like it's 2008 or something.

[Krentistthedentist]

I'm sorry, but why is Neutral Milk Hotel getting tossed around as a possibility?

People must be getting used to the consistent decline in quality.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

I'm sorry, but why is Neutral Milk Hotel getting tossed around as a possibility?

Because mangum seems to gotten over his brian wilson syndrome as of late.

[Thisismyname]

He played a smaller venue at ATP... because 3,500 people was too much.

Yeah, he'll totally be at Lolla.

[oasisfan]

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Kanye West * Daft Punk

I like it this way better.

[Nile19]

Maybe The Cranberries or Garbage?
mmmm

[brynrich]

I really hope Garbage hits some U.S. fests this summer...

[c1916]

I really hope Garbage hits some U.S. fests this summer...

And hits the Metro as part of the warm-up circuit.

[xbadx1233]

Daft Punk * Daft Punk * Daft Punk

hilarious.

[snoopydoggy2002]

Pitchfork

Sigur Ros * Pulp * Passion Pit

I really had no idea on the 3rd headliner so just through Passion Pit since that seems to be what people do when they can't think of another headliner.

[ragehead252]

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Black Sabbath * Jay-Z
Blink-182 * The Black Keys * Justice
Queens of the Stone Age * Drake * Primus
Mastodon * MGMT * Childish Gambino

[arbee]

living in Abbotsford....i read your user name differently. oops

[Krentistthedentist]

Just curious as to how the Red Hot Faggot Peppers w/o John is a bigger band than Black Sabbath with the classic lineup k carry on.

[WretchedSkye2113]

any chance that we can get Metallica without Lou Rude next year?
even playing Black Album like they will at Download would be fine with me.

[Krentistthedentist]

Drake could probably be a headliner by August maybe possibly.

[symbionese]

Just curious as to how the Red Hot Faggot Peppers w/o John is a bigger band than Black Sabbath with the classic lineup k carry on.

what's with all the 'nigger' and 'faggot' shit coming out of your mouth as of late? one day, you're gonna run into one and get that ass whooped...

[oasisfan]

idk if there is a chance but I'd enjoy it.

I sure hope not.

[Krentistthedentist]

I plan on getting shot for a flagrant use of the n word at Watch the Throne.

[danzip53]

Where are you sitting? I wanna make sure I'm far away

[Krentistthedentist]

I'm sitting in section fuck you you're going down with me.

[Driftwood]

He played a smaller venue at ATP... because 3,500 people was too much.

Yeah, he'll totally be at Lolla.

He also played at OWS.

[Driftwood]

Judging by the crowd they pulled at Coachella...

Subheadliner, and that's almost generous.

Guess Depeche Mode should be a sub too then! Crowd size at a festival isn't everything.

They had shows at venues of 8-10 k (or even more) right? That is a much better indication of their billing than their crowd size at Coachella.

[Driftwood]

That's far too generous for FNM. They're a couple years away from being in the Cars spot really.

Except the Cars played a 2000 person venue in Chicago. See above.

[concertgoer]

Guess Depeche Mode should be a sub too then! Crowd size at a festival isn't everything.

What shows in the states were those?

[Thisismyname]

He also played at OWS.

lolok cause that's equivalent to Lolla or any other large scale outdoor festival.

[nikolajz1]

I plan on getting shot for a flagrant use of the n word at Watch the Throne.

MJ gone, our nigga dead.

Gonna be real awkward to hear a 95% white audience sing that...

[concertgoer]

MJ gone, our nigga dead.

Gonna be real awkward to hear a 95% white audience sing that...

The crowd was really mixed at the show I was at
Probably not even 50% white

[Krentistthedentist]

Well whatever I'm going to say it.
I was fine last time. As a matter of fact, Kanye encouraged the crowd to yell it.

[symbionese]

MJ gone, our nigga dead.

Gonna be real awkward to hear a 95% white audience sing that...

no. flip it and then you got a story...

[danzip53]

I'm sitting in section fuck you you're going down with me.

Well...I guess theres worse ways to die

[Driftwood]

What shows in the states were those?

That's what I recalled from memory - small outdoor amphitheaters. The venue they played in Phily I looked up and it has a capacity of 14k supposedly.

[TonyPicker690]

Sigur Ros * Pulp * Passion Pit

Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, or Yeah Yeah Yeahs instead of Passion Pit

[xbadx1233]

This thread is getting really lame. We need some rumors before all hell breaks loose

[Krentistthedentist]

The fest is going to suck abandon all hope.

[oasisfan]

I still have hope. Of course as long as they have at least 1 headliner i like and at I at least like the other 2 and the undercard is decent I'll be attending.

[joelmanfu]

Radiohead - Jay-Z/Kanye - The Killers
The Black Keys - Phish - Smashing Pumpkins

[oasisfan]

well that's one way to get me to stay on the south field all weekend.

[oasisfan]

so would this though

Rage Against The Machine - Kanye West - Pearl Jam
The Black Keys - The Chemical Brothers - Jane's Addiction

[Nile19]

Radiohead - Jay-Z/Kanye - The Killers
The Black Keys - Phish - Smashing Pumpkins

I can see all of those being there, except Phish and Smashing Pumpkings... I dont think SP has the popularity anymore with what they play and Phish may be offended if they can't play 2 sets

[oasisfan]

(Phish) - Phish vs Radiohead

[nikkirkpatrick]

phish only played one set at acl.

[Audiobully]

so would this though

Rage Against The Machine - Kanye West - Pearl Jam
The Black Keys - The Chemical Brothers - Jane's Addiction

That would suck. I would want to see all six pretty bad.

[johnd12751]

lol at rage over pearl jam

[symbionese]

lol at stegosaurus over diplodocus

.

[oasisfan]

lol at rage over pearl jam

Rage Against the Machine has the rarity factor, whereas Pearl Jam still tour regularly.

[oasisfan]

IRT symb

I honestly wish I knew what that meant.

[wiyam93]

Really? That one was pretty easy.

[wiyam93]

Bon Iver, Vampire Weekend, or Yeah Yeah Yeahs instead of Passion Pit

xbad is a moron.

[oasisfan]

xbad is a muser.

[nikolajz1]

Muse fucking sucks.

[90sRevival]

all the more reason to call him a muser

[oasisfan]

muse ain't bad, but their fans are.

It's all bad.

It's all bad.

How are you sure he meant Miley Cyrus?

[oasisfan]

Jay-Z - Pearl Jam - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Slayer - The Black Keys - David Guetta

Jay-Z vs Black Keys
Red Hot Chili Peppers vs Slayer
Pearl Jam vs David Guetta

[xbadx1233]

xbad is a muser.

Used to be. Not nearly as much now. Much more into Fitz and the Tantrums right now.

[KevBlu42]

Jay-Z - Pearl Jam - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Slayer - The Black Keys - David Guetta

Jay-Z vs Black Keys
Red Hot Chili Peppers vs Slayer
Pearl Jam vs David Guetta

I'd actually go to that.

[oasisfan]

Used to be. Not nearly as much now. Much more into Fitz and the Tantrums right now.

xbad is a fitzer.

[fitzyfitz1313]

xbad is a fitzer.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

[oasisfan]

I say that because he is only saying that because he's tired of getting made fun of on here for the Muse thing.

[xbadx1233]

I say that because he is only saying that because he's tired of getting made fun of on here for the Muse thing.

Really though, The Resistance ruined it for me (like everyone else), but still.

[Sk8guyj18]

i would be depressed if Slayer was on our ballot.

[oasisfan]

Then go see the Chili Peppers.

[concertgoer]

LOL at Lolla booking Slayer

[jcp]

Pearl Jam * Black Sabbath * RHCP
Drake + Lil Wayne * Mumford & Sons * David Guetta

Pearl Jam VS Drake + Weezy
Sabbath VS Mumford
RHCP VS David Guetta

[Krentistthedentist]

Why would you make me choose between Pearl Jam and Drake + Weezy and then have RHCP play at the same time as David Guetta?
Seriously?

[Broc1123]

But, he's been voted the number one DJ in the world!

[xbadx1233]

But, he's been voted the number one DJ in the world!

The number one DJ of shit music

[danzip53]

whos david guetta?

[DubstepRepresentation]

Any chance we see Mumford & Sons and/or the return of some of the rising electronic music artists like Skrillex or Afrojack from last year?

Also, do you think Calvin Harris is a possibility for Perry's?

2011 was my first Lolla so I am not entirely sure what's possible booking-wise in regards to back-to-back years.


edit: David Guetta sucks btw

[nikkirkpatrick]

that was sig-worthy pre-edit

[arbee]

who the fuck are these people?

[Broc1123]

The number one DJ of shit music

sarcasm

[nikkirkpatrick]

who the fuck are these people?

actuallol

[Krentistthedentist]

Kanye West * Smashing Pumpkins Original Lineup * Fall Out Boy
Disturbed * R. Kelly * Wilco

[Beefy Toe]

Wilco is the only one that would never happen at Lollapalooza.
Other than that, great list.

[Audiobully]

I don't think Disturbed would either, but Smashing Pumpkins with the original lineup is very likely.

[oasisfan]

Kanye West * Smashing Pumpkins Original Lineup * Fall Out Boy
Disturbed * R. Kelly * Wilco

I hope not because I only really like Kanye and Wilco on that lineup.
Also I don't think they'd have Kanye and R. Kelly in the same year.

[Krentistthedentist]

Racist much?

[nikkirkpatrick]

C3 much?

.

[Krentistthedentist]

Heard C3 was racist, well I guess that's on one basis
They only like white faces.

[Caseysitsallgood]

but Smashing Pumpkins with the original lineup is very likely.

thought Corgan and Iha hated each other?

[sleeping]

thought Corgan and Iha hated each other?
And D'Arcy is kind of a mess.

edit: And I'm pretty sure even Jimmy can't get along with Billy anymore.

[Audiobully]

I was being uber sarcastic. Besides, Bjork is totally playing now seeing as how she's #2 billed in Chile.

Bruce Springsteen vs. The Chemical Brothers (plz switch Killers with Chemical)
Kanye West vs. The Killers (see above)

[Krentistthedentist]

I really have no feel for who is going to play Lolla next year yet. But this made sense.

[concertgoer]

I just don't see Lolla booking The Boss
I hope I am wrong though

[joelmanfu]

That wasn't what i was saying "are you fucking kidding me?" to

Then you were referring to what?

[Krentistthedentist]

The lulzy idea that Bruce would play 2nd fiddle to Radiohead

[joelmanfu]

The lulzy idea that Bruce would play 2nd fiddle to Radiohead

Ahh. I didn't really think that part through, I agree with you. either way, I would enjoy the lineup. Thoughts on C3 booking Bruce for Lolla? I could easily see it for Austin City Limits...

[Broc1123]

I don't think it's that crazy as far his music and fanbase goes. But the price tag might not be worth it since they sell out with ease now.

[Krentistthedentist]

C3 would never book him for Lollapalooza because he is old, costly, and it's a fucking child's festival now.

[Audiobully]

The lulzy idea that Bruce would play 2nd fiddle to Radiohead

70's hipster music would never play 2nd fiddle to 90s hipster music.

[concertgoer]

LOL at calling The Boss hipster music

[Krentistthedentist]

Bruce = hipster music?
News to me. Sometimes I feel like my IQ drops just by clicking on the lineup forum.

[Broc1123]

What about Rihanna headlining? She never has played a fest, but I could see it.

[Audiobully]

LOL at calling The Boss hipster music

IN THE 1970s, or, before most of us were born.

[Krentistthedentist]

What about Rihanna headlining? She never has played a fest, but I could see it.

I would go ogle her probably.

[concertgoer]

C3 would never book him for Lollapalooza because he is old, costly, and it's a fucking child's festival now.

You keep on saying that but five of the six headliners this year have been around since the 1990s

[joelmanfu]

You keep on saying that but five of the six headliners this year have been around since the 1990s

For top 3, Im going with:


Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Radiohead - Kanye West

[Broc1123]

I think we'd be REALLY lucky to get 1 of your first top 3.

[xbadx1233]

Bassnectar at Perry's?

Probably

[Krentistthedentist]

You keep on saying that but five of the six headliners this year have been around since the 1990s

Irrelevant.
They are all fundamentally bands for teenagers.

just kidding.

[oasisfan]

No way Bruce plays Lolla. It'd be amazing but it ain't happening.

[oasisfan]

So with the announcement of Chile's lineup does it make TV on the Radio or Band of Horses more likely? They'd both probably be subs, but pretty solid subs. TVOTR could be a 6 and maybe a 5.

[TonyPicker690]

So with the announcement of Chile's lineup does it make TV on the Radio or Band of Horses more likely? They'd both probably be subs, but pretty solid subs. TVOTR could be a 6 and maybe a 5.

It depends on if either of those bands are touring when August rolls around. Very few bands last year were at both fests. And if TVotR is a sub in Chile, they'll be a sub in Chicago

[oasisfan]

TVOTR > Radiohead :)

[BearDownBoilerUp]

C3 would never book him for Lollapalooza because he is old, costly, and it's a fucking child's festival now.

Oh Jesus Christ you are a fucking child.

[Krentistthedentist]

And you call Niko dense

Don't defend him, he's a despicable human being who opposes same sex marriage.
And I'm right. Sorry, but there's no way you can accurately spin this to say that Lollapalooza isn't catering to the kids more than they were in, say, 2009 or even 2010.

[concertgoer]

Wrong
All of those headliners have plenty of fans who aren't teenagers
The crowd this year didn't seem any younger than it did in the previous years you mentioned

[concertgoer]

I will concede that the Mouse, Muse and Eminem have a lot of teenage fans, but Green Day, Gaga and Phoenix all drew in younger crowds than any of the days this year from what I could tell

[nikkirkpatrick]

i assume the previous page is filled with #OMGBJORKWHATIF

now that i'm caught up, redemptionpalooza 2012

[xbadx1233]

Pretty surprised to see Joan Jett & the Blackhearts on the Brazil lineup. I would take them as the throwback band.

thoughts on bjork? more or less likely now for chicago?

It was definitely a younger/more college bro crowd this year in my opinion. I was only there Friday though and was at TDCC and FtP though. But just the people I know that went to Lolla this year were younger and people I never would have imagined going to Lolla in 2009.

well thats the problem you went to foster the people

Like I said earlier the crowds for Green Day and Gaga were younger than any of the headliners that I saw this year

[Leyser]

What about Rihanna headlining? She never has played a fest, but I could see it.
V fest last year

[oasisfan]

I agree, but I saw Coldplay, My Morning Jacket and Foo Fighters so I might not be the best judge.

yeah i already suggested that one. quit trying to hipsterify the obvious. :p

[oasisfan]

yeah the order is definitely pretty F***ed up... all of the artists (for the most part) are plausible though.

[johnd12751]

With MGMT and TVOTR on both the Brazil and Chile lineups, I can probably see them this year at a 5 and a 6 respectively.

I'd say theres about a dozen quality posts in this thread every year. Symb has about 70% of those. The rest come about a week before the actual lineup is released.

[mgignac]

Yeah, of course in a random order- I was just listing them as I thought of them. The text-size corresponds to their timeslots, though. Top 6-headliners, next 6 or 7 would be subs or middle spots, and so on.

[MadBird11]

Good to know.

Maybe it's the fact, you can understand Symb's jokes, that makes this thread so bad

[WampireVeekend]

With MGMT and TVOTR on both the Brazil and Chile lineups, I can probably see them this year at a 5 and a 6 respectively.

There is no way that TVOTR get billed 18th at ACL and then 6th at Lolla. That being said I think they will be there and will be billed higher than 18, but I really think there is no way they headline. MGMT on the other hand I think can headline.

[mgignac]

With the quality/popularity of some of '11's subs, I think MGMT is more probable as a sub at this point. Am I in the minority here?

[nikolajz1]

I dont see MGMT playing Lolla without new stuff, but who knows.

[concertgoer]

Agreed, but apparently they have a new album coming out in 2012

[Audiobully]

I hope it's as bad as the last one!

[MadBird11]

I don't think I've listened to Congratulations since it came out. Guess I know what I'm putting on after this.

[concertgoer]

It kind of grew on me
Like a fungus
There are like 4 solid songs

[Krentistthedentist]

is the fungus a muSHROOM?

[joelmanfu]

Who would sub for The Boss if he was to play? Again I really have no idea... just a guess

The Gaslight Anthem < Ryan Adams < Elvis Costello < Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band

Now that would be one great day of music

I'm not even a huge Bruce fan but this looks really good.

[concertgoer]

We really should stop with all the Boss talk
If he plays any American festivals in 2012 it will be either ACL and or Orlando Calling

Does not compute.

[Krentistthedentist]

I could see it.

[concertgoer]

Perfect choice for the "Classic Rock" headliner

I think it is too soon to count The Boss out.

[concertgoer]

We should find out fairly soon when the North American dates are announced

[joelmanfu]

definitely. I am just happy he is touring again.

[concertgoer]

Same I doing multiple shows this tour

[IAmScareMongering]

Lolla can redeem themselves for last year by booking The Boss.

[Thisismyname]

ACL seems more likely to me...

[IAmScareMongering]

O I don't think there's even a chance of it happening, just that it would be a way for them to redeem themselves.

[oasisfan]

Wouldn't, if Bruce plays any festival, he play bonnaroo? He is known for putting on extremely long shows and I feel like that's more suited for a festival like Bonnaroo.

Or this fest, for that matter.

And yet you will still go to it.

[MadBird11]

...Cept he did that in 09...

[oasisfan]

Because it allows him to play his full show.

[MadBird11]

I don't think you understand what I'm saying.

[oasisfan]

Your saying its too soon for him to come back I believe. However, if a legendary artist comes to you and says "Hey I know I played your festival in 09 but I'd really like to play it again" are you going to turn him down? Or if by some chance you know that you can get a legendary artist to come perform again do you pass up that chance because they played only 3 years prior?

[Thisismyname]

lollol.

He's not playing Roo.

[oasisfan]

Insider info?

[Thisismyname]

Yep.

[oasisfan]

Nice.

[IAmScareMongering]

It wouldn't be an issue if they gave him a time slot like Green Day had.

[oasisfan]

Isn't he known for playing like 3+ hr shows though?

[Thisismyname]

What I'm curious about is why would you think an artist like Bruce is going around asking festivals to play, rather than the other way around.

[oasisfan]

Well I just used that as an example its not that I truly believe he did that. All I'm saying is don't rule him out of Bonnaroo, but then again you have that insider info so I guess you know.

[Krentistthedentist]

Nice.

There's no way you're 19

[oasisfan]

You're right 20 now.

[Krentistthedentist]

Oof.

[oasisfan]

well ok then.

[IAmScareMongering]

Isn't he known for playing like 3+ hr shows though?

The show I saw at the UC was just under 2 and half hours.

While planning these festivals in South America, how much have you been reminded of the first few in the early '90s?
A lot! The people down there are so enthusiastic about music because they're starved for all the talent that we almost take for granted here. When I first got down there, they were asking, "Can you get the Cure?" The Cure? I mean, even 15 years ago they were kinda past their prime. And after this year, when we deliver Calvin Harris and Skrillex, it's over. They're going to be shoulder to shoulder with the rest of the world as far as musical sophistication is concerned.

Holy shit.
