It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[xbadx1233]

Apparently they are rumored for Bonnaroo too, and they are touring in spring

[MadBird11]

Damn, I'm good.

[xbadx1233]

Are you on something by chance? I haven't seen you be a non-dick....ever

hah

[Krentistthedentist]

madbird is a thug on this side?

.

[Krentistthedentist]

Pretty sure it's stupka.

Hiyo

[Krentistthedentist]

I think they are going to play in 2012
Hopefully Bjork plays during their set


That'd be cool.

Aren't you the one whose schtick is hating Bjork?

[DubstepRepresentation]

old hipsters.

[Krentistthedentist]

RHCP's fanbase is just as old.
Also nik is in his early 20s.

[nikkirkpatrick]

dude, it's dub-motherfuckin'-step.

show some respect.

[Krentistthedentist]

Shit genre.
Shit poster.

[Greg Nasty]

Are they the same band as Kaiser Chiefs?

[nikolajz1]

RHCP's fanbase is just as old.
Also nik is in his early 20s.

That's old hipsters now a days.

[Caseysitsallgood]

That's old hipsters now a days.

cuz they knew that before you.

[Sk8guyj18]

Did we ever find out if there was an El Camino leak?

[Krentistthedentist]

There is.
Welcome to the internet, dumb fuck.

[nikolajz1]

Did we ever find out if there was an El Camino leak?

Who is we?

[mgignac]

Let's assume RHCP denies Lollapalooza instead favoring an actual US tour. Maybe they're sick of the festival circuit and they want to tour at home with their own show now that they've had their live practice in.

Let's also assume that TBK are certainly headlining. Let's also, again, assume that Drake will not be, and that Justice has been designated to Perry's. Just for the sake of this:

Metallica (Queens of the Stone Age) * Radiohead (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)* Jay-Z (MGMT)
Bjork (Primal Scream)* The Killers (Kasabian)* The Black Keys (Pulp)

Eh?
North v. South
Metallica vs. Bjork
Radiohead vs. Jay-Z
The Killers vs. The Black Keys

EDIT: One other possibility, shifting some things around

Metallica (Mastodon)
The Killers (Queens of the Stone Age)
and Kasabian plays an earlier slot.

[Krentistthedentist]

Is Primal Scream a sub in this moron country?
Also holy shit that's a strong lineup popularity wise. I mean, Roo pulled Pearl Jam, Metallica, and Kanye West and Pearl Jam > Radiohead* in popularity terms but Kanye < Jay-Z popularity wise. Then again the Killers > Jack Johnson popularity wise and add in Bjork and modern day keys, plus 3 bands you have subbing that could easily be in the 6 slot...


*before anyone gets all up in arms about this, consider this: what if Phish or the Dead had mainstream appeal? OK. That's how popular Pearl Jam is.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i love mgignac's lineup-
except put Bjork against TBK and The Killers against Metallica.

Killers and TBK have a pretty big overlap, and i want to see Metallica and Bjork :p

also, RH would definitely be billed over Metallica at this point.

After the Coldplay/Muse fiasco of this year, anything is possible. Metallica vs. Black Sabbath this year!!

[mgignac]

I thought about Sabbath but I honestly dont think they're a headliner at all. Sub at absolute best.

[Krentistthedentist]

OK I used to like you but now I actually think you're a complete moron.

[MadBird11]

Oh my fuck.

Seriously a new low for dumbest comment ever uttered on this board or the prior one.

[El Goodo]

The Sabbath thing or "oh my fuck"?

[WretchedSkye2113]

oh my fuck is a common symbionism, i can't imagine ktd would ever be against the use of that phrase.

[El Goodo]

Wretchederp.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i just wanted a reason to say symbionism.

[Krentistthedentist]

I dunno how you could derp wretched if you had to ask this question.

i shouldn't say it's used enough to be its own category, but yeah i've seen him use it a few times.

Oh that was a joke sorry try not to suck at jokes.

You guys are all such dicks its pathetic. You're a bunch of Internet bums who stay on the web arguing all day about something that no one will be 100% right. All I asked was for the new Black Keys leak and I get insulted... Pretty lame

[kaz]

it'd be dope if the headliners were any of these:

the killers
red hot chili peppers
swedish house mafia (upcoming group and getting quite popular, perrys?)
daft punk (each time they have changed the color of their logo there's been a new tour...they changed it to red)
radiohead
jay-z

I don't see how you menstruating all over the place and consistently attacking us for being "dicks" or whatever is any worse than me accurately calling you a fucking idiot.

ps your name is sk8guyj18 which means you are probably going nowhere in life and the board's unemployment rate is probably lower than the national average. Also, basically every poster who is unemployed does not post on account of them devoting their time to finding employment.

Listing Mumford and Sons and Dave Matthews Band amongst his favorites should have tipped me off but I decided to be a nice guy and look past it.
That'll teach me to be welcoming!

[ragehead252]

I don't know if you know this but they're with ozzy again. black sabbath being a sub-headliner is about as likely as nickelback making a good album

Wow Krentist you're so smart! You really know me well! I sure am going nowhere! In fact, I'm sleeping in a box next to the playstation stage! Brrrr it's cold! Kidding. How about you get a life and quit being such an asshole. Whenever someone says something you're always saying they're wrong and how you're right. By the way, when did I say I want to see RHCP? I'm not even a fan of them even with John... Maybe you should take your unbelievable knowledge and brain, and think some more! Sweet!

that would suck.

It would be underwhelming but I don't think it would suck.
I'd see four of those bands but i would not be particularly enthusiastic about any of em

[Sk8guyj18]

Foster the People headlining = LOL

[oasisfan]

I would see 3 but I feel like 2 of them would oppose each other. The only 1 I'd be excited about is Daft Punk though.

I had a dream that Daft Punk played Glastonbury and were billed 7th on their day.
I am trying to think of who the headliners were. I think Orange Goblin was one of them.

So I think the new Black Keys album has made me excited to see them again at Lolla

[nikolajz1]

Yes! I would so see them headline unless they were against someone like Bruce or Daft Punk

[mgignac]

So I think the new Black Keys album has made me excited to see them again at Lolla

After the Brothers hype had died down I was a little "over" them I suppose, sort of took a break from their music. Once I heard Lonely Boy I was pretty sure I'd get back into them, and I listed to the EC leak a few nights ago and now I hope they really are going to be back for sure. Great, great album.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Kidding.

glad you cleared that up for everyone.

WHEW! GUYZ HE WAZ JUST KIDDING!

[Sk8guyj18]

^ nice!

Black Keys would be cool to see again

[kaz]

despite all the fighting and some queer ass comments from sk8, everyone watch this video of the killers and think about how awesome they'd be at lolla. as for daft punk, their past lolla performance speaks for itself. Killers and Daft Punk for Lollapalooza 2012!!

I would probably be like "whatever" if the Killers played but I will say that from the videos I've seen they super improved as a live band between 2005 and now.

[symbionese]

they were pretty meh at Lollapalooza Chile 2011.

you went to lolla in chile?

I have yet to see them in my 5 years of going to Lolla :D

[stupka32]

I have yet to see them in my 5 years of going to Lolla :D

I caught only 10-15minutes of them. I was bored with it and got food. I feel like they would be amazing in a venue like first ave, but I wasn't feeling the 90 degree, outdoor set.

at first i was saying Madderp because i figured you didn't know that symb would probably be well aware of nanatod going to Lollachile and therefore antagonizing him to talk about it again-
then i thought that you were in on it and were just further poking the subject.

now i'm not sure.

Good Weekend, but if i may:

If the Knife plays (which is a huge if) they need to play at night. the headliner matchups are not good.

There's absolutely no way that, given those 6, you see Daft Punk vs Bjork as plausible, right?

If I see Daft Punk one more time in this thread...

[stupka32]

Daft punk

[Krentistthedentist]

Even ignoring the fact that they played in 2007, I would say the direction the festival is headed makes it more likely for Daft Punk to headline in 2012 than it was in, say, 2010 or 2009.

[MadBird11]

We're seriously going to talk about Daft Punk?

[Krentistthedentist]

They are one of a handful of headliner sized untz untzs.
Tiesto Touched My Butthole is the other.

Even ignoring the fact that they played in 2007, I would say the direction the festival is headed makes it more likely for Daft Punk to headline in 2012 than it was in, say, 2010 or 2009.

It's more about the fact that Daft Punk won't tour at all anytime soon. I mean before 2007, it had been nearly a decade since they had last done an American tour. Really, they probably won't be interested in touring for another few years

I may not know for sure, but it makes sense

[MadBird11]

They are one of a handful of headliner sized untz untzs.
Tiesto Touched My Butthole is the other.

Well yeah, but Tiesto touched my butthole is much more likely than Daft Punk.

Yes.

each time daft punk has gone on tour or made a new album they have changed the color of their logo. red-orange (Homework), chrome (Discovery), black (Human After All), blue (Alive 2007). check it out, they changed it to red www.daftpunk.com

also, look at this

Hey guys and girls <3

My name’s Emma, ​​I’m 19 and i live in London UK!

My dad works at Virgin Records in the UK and has access to the servers on Their Computers.He Came home Friday night with a USB stick, i use it from time to time for my files for Uni. I Had to put some photos from my computer to my dads so i used His USB on Sunday. When I know i did, i found something interesting...

I found a file on the USB titled ‘Daft Punk – Sky Dive (2012) (Previews Promo)

[Krentistthedentist]

I would also see Vampire Weekend given those options and I have impeccable taste, so you're doing fine.

[Sk8guyj18]

That lineup would be pretty cool. Do you think AM! Could actually close the grove?

[TonyPicker690]

I feel like it's way too soon to have the Killers headline again... but then again this is a fest that annually brings the Black Keys to town.

[WampireVeekend]

That lineup would be pretty cool. Do you think AM! Could actually close the grove?

no. the were a 245 side stage in 2010. I think AM! would probably at best be a 5pm side stage. I think with that lineup, m83 and the knife would close the grove since theyd get the nighttime bump. I think SSPU is too big to close the grove also.

[stupka32]

you'd be surprised, against me runs about 21 million last.fm plays with sspu at 15 million. and maybe the knife would be better at the grove, but m83 is big enough to sub.

[symbionese]

you'd be surprised that that doesn't mean a goddamn thing.

[WampireVeekend]

you'd be surprised, against me runs about 21 million last.fm plays with sspu at 15 million. and maybe the knife would be better at the grove, but m83 is big enough to sub.

MMJ also only has 15 million and they just headlined. Against Me! could be a 4pm main stage with a new album, but unless it gets big I cant see them closing the grove/side stage closing/subbing. M83 is one of my favorite bands and I'm pretty sure as of now he is not big enough to sub. Granted come August he could be if Midnight City keeps blowing up, but he just played Lincoln Hall which isn't exactly a big venue.

[MookieDaddy]

The Lincoln Hall show was part of a string of shows kept small on purpose to push the new album. They're already booked for the Vic in March or May.

Edit: May 4th at the Vic.

[WampireVeekend]

that makes more sense then because he played really small venues along the east coast as well. That being said, I think m83 would be a side stage closer or grove closer to be a night slot

Ok...I'll give you the thing about the logo changing colors, but this is kind of lame. You should try harder than that

[nikkirkpatrick]

that isn't a 'kaz' original.

[brynrich]

agenthal?

[brynrich]

They are one of a handful of headliner sized untz untzs.
Tiesto Touched My Butthole is the other.

I hope Tiesto headlines so my friend can make dat paper

[TonyPicker690]

The Lincoln Hall show was part of a string of shows kept small on purpose to push the new album. They're already booked for the Vic in March or May.

Edit: May 4th at the Vic.

Has this just not been announced yet?

[WampireVeekend]

Has this just not been announced yet?

it has not. no dates have been announced yet. im absolutely obsessed with m83 though and managed to find the following dates via researching on google. it looks as though a full us tour will be announced in the near future though.

April 25- Portland (Wonder Ballroom)
May 4- Chicago (The Vic)
May 5- Detroit
May 11- Philadelphia (Union Transfer)
May 12- Washington DC

Nice. I'll be sure to go to this, since the Lincoln Hall show was a bit short.

Does the May 4th date in Chicago make them unlikely to be at lolla? Not sure what the proximity rule is on this.

[MadBird11]

Assuming that rule is even still followed, and even then, yes.

[brynrich]

It was announced the week of the Lincoln Hall shows...

[oasisfan]

shhhh he's absolutely obsessed with m83 so he knows things.

[oasisfan]

is anyone really expecting a new #1 headliner this year that hasn't been a top 6 before?

[KevBlu42]

is anyone really expecting a new #1 headliner this year that hasn't been a top 6 before?

I'm still holding out hope for Metallica. Seems like there's a realistic chance. Otherwise, no.

[mgignac]

Black Keys just booked a NA tour, hitting Chicago and Indy in March...Don't know much about the proximity/time rules, just thought I'd throw it up here. Maybe they'll let it slip that night that they're playing Lollapalooza, a few bands I've seen have done the old cliche, "Well, I don't even know if we're supposed to tell you this yet....but we're totally coming back to you guys for __________________!" just to amp the crowd up.

[dij22]

Metallica * The Cure * Kanye West
Phish * Björk * Tiësto
Drake * The Offspring * Atoms for Peace
Florence + The Machine * The Avett Brothers
Animal Collective


The Offspring > Metallica vs. Florence + The Machine > Tiësto
Drake > Kanye West vs. Animal Collective > Björk
Atoms for Peace > The Cure vs. The Avett Brothers > Phish

I'll also go ahead and predict a Yeah Yeah Yeahs * Vampire Weekend * Jeff Mangum Pitchfork 2012.

[MadBird11]

Switch Metallica with someone and yes sir.

[90sRevival]

Metallica * The Cure * Kanye West
Phish * Björk * Tiësto
Drake * The Offspring * Atoms for Peace
Florence + The Machine * The Avett Brothers
Animal Collective


The Offspring > Metallica vs. Florence + The Machine > Tiësto

I'll also go ahead and predict a Yeah Yeah Yeahs * Vampire Weekend * Jeff Mangum Pitchfork 2012.

I like. no one's had Avett Bros in there and I think they're a pretty safe bet for a sub.

[concertgoer]

I like Dij22's Lolla
Minus the Ye Bjork conflict

[Krentistthedentist]

OK, so the Black Keys are out, right?

[concertgoer]

We talked about that it in the upcoming shows thread
I thought it might knock them out, but Ye played a show at the UC in May of 08
Who knows

[concertgoer]

Bigger question is if they play are they a south field headliner?

[dij22]

I think that's pretty impossible if they're looking to match the level of 2011's Big 4.

[concertgoer]

Not sure if there will be four available headliners the size of 2011's Big 4 next year

[hbankhead]

They would probably be booked regardless of this upcoming show.

[MadBird11]

OK, so the Black Keys are out, right?

No.

[dij22]

Not sure if there will be four available headliners the size of 2011's Big 4 next year

Any combo of Metallica, Radiohead, The Cure, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Phish, The Killers, No Doubt could do it. I can't really think of any other realistic ones.

[90sRevival]

damn.. here we go again..

[MadBird11]

Not sure if there will be four available headliners the size of 2011's Big 4 next year

But will they be greater in quality?

[Krentistthedentist]

Well, I just hope that Kanye West plays
He's a special man./

[MadBird11]

Any combo of Metallica, Radiohead, The Cure, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Phish, The Killers, No Doubt could do it. I can't really think of any other realistic ones.

Wilco. Lil Wayne. Drake. Bon Iver. Fleet Foxes. Whatever project Damon Albarn is working on. Racs. Tiesto. Justice. Other shit DJ's I can't stand. Black Keys are still in the picture. MGMT might be too. And of course, never rule out Jane's Addiction.

I mean, this could either be the best or worst Lolla ever, undercard dependent.

[concertgoer]

I believe Dij was listing bands that would be as popular as this years big 4

[dij22]

I was talking about south stage headliners, not names of bands.

[MadBird11]

Oh. Well, all of those could still happen too.

[mgignac]

I definitely think Black Keys are North Stage material.

[90sRevival]

EVERYTHING I'M NOT MADE ME EVERYTHING I AM

[Audiobully]

I wouldn't even rule out Rammstein, despite their May 4th show. That would be a unique festival headliner for the states and they'd own the north stage, would they not?

[jcfrank2]

I wouldn't even rule out Rammstein, despite their May 4th show. That would be a unique festival headliner for the states and they'd own the north stage, would they not?

I would think they're quite a stretch given Lolla's recent booking history.

[brynrich]

Yeah, Rammstein ain't gonna happen...

[xbadx1233]

Yeah, Rammstein ain't gonna happen...

Nor will The Cure. Let's get realistic here.

[brynrich]

While I'd say booking The Cure is more likely than booking Rammstein, I agree.

[stupka32]

When did we decide that the annual, improbable Smashing Pumpkins predictions would be replaced with the annual, improbable The Cure predictions

[MadBird11]

About the 8th post in the thread.

[johnd12751]

im working on an edit to my big lineup and schedule i posted a few days ago, its on page 206 if you wanna check it out!

[MadBird11]

ok.

[xbadx1233]

So, will the "mid-day party band" be Gogol Bordello or Dropkick Murphys? I think it's pretty safe to say it'll be one of them.

[johnd12751]

VERSION 2

Lollapalooza 2012

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Daft Punk * The Killers
The Racounters * Bjork * Vampire Weekend

LET ME KNOW IF THERES ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS CHANGING!

[danzip53]

I can guarantee you the killers wont be there

[Krentistthedentist]

No you fucking don't.

[MadBird11]

johnd's last two posts have been gold.

[JML]

LET ME KNOW IF THERES ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS CHANGING!

Well..there's the whole "Daft Punk is a huge longshot at best" thing. The Knife too.

[xbadx1233]

LET ME KNOW IF THERES ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS CHANGING!

One of the headliners should be replaced with Jane's Addiction.

[johnd12751]

johnd's last two posts have been gold.

It actually made my day to see MadBird approve of me for once.

[carligula]

When did we decide that the annual, improbable Smashing Pumpkins predictions would be replaced with the annual, improbable The Cure predictions

2009

[Broc1123]

Switch the Killers to the Black Keys. Remove Daft Punk and put something that has even a 1% percent chance of happening.

And just erase your undercard bands. The order makes no sense and most of them would not be top 20 or whatever that is.

[oasisfan]

Won't happen but I would be happy with it.



Metallica * Jay-Z (maybe Throne) * Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Killers * Fall Out Boy * The Black Keys

Mastodon - Drake - Alice In Chains - Passion Pit - Panic at the Disco - Band of Horses

The Sword > Mastodon > Metallica vs Black Keys < Band of Horses < Gaslight Anthem
Wiz Khalifa > Drake > Jay-Z vs The Killers < Passion Pit < M83
Live > Alice In Chains > Red Hot Chili Peppers vs Fall Out Boy < Panic at the Disco < Motion City Soundtrack

[nikolajz1]

JayZ wont be at Lolla. BABY!

Kanye, Drake, or Weezy will be the hip hop headliner

[Broc1123]

What about:

Metallica RHCP Black Keys
Bjork Vampire Weekend Drake

Metallica vs. Drake
RHCP vs. Vampire Weekend
Keys vs. Bjork

WOW

[concertgoer]

Seems pretty plausible

[Krentistthedentist]

What about:

Metallica [/B]RHCP Black Keys
Bjork Vampire Weekend Drake

Metallica vs. Drake
RHCP vs. Vampire Weekend
Keys vs. Bjork

WOW

Obviously I'd really like to see Drake while he's promoting this album, but...

[oasisfan]

are Black Keys popular enough to be a 3 now?

[Krentistthedentist]

You've seen the venues for this tour, right?

[Broc1123]

Seems pretty plausible

Yeah I thought so.

Not really ideal for me. I only care about VW and the Keys on there and have seen them a combined 6 times. But Drake seems like a pretty plausible North Stage headliner.

[oasisfan]

You've seen the venues for this tour, right?

I guess that's true I just don't see them on the same level as some of the other 3's in the past.

[KevBlu42]

Metallica - Radiohead - No Doubt
Jane's Addiction - Death Cab For Cutie - Drake

(The Offspring) No Doubt vs. Jane's Addiction (The National)
(Queens of the Stone Age) Metallica vs. Death Cab For Cutie (Florence and the Machine)
(Faith No More) Radiohead vs. Drake (Nicki Minaj)

Subs might be too big but whatever. I also wanted to fit Chevelle and Silversun Pickups in there somewhere, but I couldn't figure out where to put them. Probably a Grove headliner for Silversun and a Deftones/Cage the Elephant-type slot for Chevelle.

[symbionese]

but I couldn't figure out where to put them.

i have an idea...

[xbadx1233]

Metallica - Radiohead - No Doubt
Jane's Addiction - Death Cab For Cutie - Drake

Nicely done, my friend

[johnd12751]

nine inch nails. possibility now.

[MadBird11]

No they aren't.

[Krentistthedentist]

seriously where the fuck do these people come from?

[LollyP]

can we bump the black keys up to confirmed considering they're going to be there

[johnd12751]

No they aren't.
ok now seriously, why cant they be possible. or do you just enjoy trashing me.

[xbadx1233]

Oh no....you said the S word

Clueless.

Oh my fuck.

[johnd12751]

no, i just want to know why. i dont know too much about the nine inch nails, i just heard that they were doing new stuff in 2012 and they have played before, so i put 2 and 2 together and figured they could be a perfect veteran act from the 90's.

[MadBird11]

Thissy is a good person and someone we should all admire because of it.

johnd is still an idiot.

[DubstepRepresentation]

I thought about Sabbath but I honestly dont think they're a headliner at all. Sub at absolute best.

jesus christ

[TonyPicker690]

Franz Ferdinand announced they are playing Primavera next year, are they big enough to headline in the US?

[Krentistthedentist]

http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/industry/legal-and-management/drake-william-morris-dave-wirtschafter-talks-1005511352.story

Just a little food for thought.

[concertgoer]

Franz Ferdinand announced they are playing Primavera next year, are they big enough to headline in the US?

No
They would be a sub

[carligula]

You guys are being complete dicks about the Nine Inch Nails thing. Do you honestly think Trent will stay committed to the "no more NIN" thing? Does any act actually do that these days?

I will say that I assume this is what got the rumor of new NIN next year started

Reznor indicated on Twitter that there would be new material released in the future. On October 27, 2011, he tweeted: "OK, back to work. LOTS of new music coming your way very soon...

I think it's too early for him to back off the "NIN retirement" schtick, so he was probably referring to the other 49327849 projects he's involved with.

[carligula]

I got nothing. What a retard.

I don't want to see this kind of talk on this messageboard.

[symbionese]

I don't want to see this kind of talk on this messageboard.

lineup speculation? finally. thank god.

[Driftwood]

I'm not going to bother reading the last few pages, but I really hope they "it's all they had available" argument isn't used. If they could do what they did with Soundgarden surely they can pull something (several) from The Cure, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Drake, Tom Petty, WTT, Jay-z and or Bjork (all new to the fest and should be in the mix for Summer 2012 dates).

[Driftwood]

I guess Florence & The Machine and Justice have never played Lolla and could probably headline at this point too.

[Krentistthedentist]

Drake is a WME rising superstar
He's a lock.

[Driftwood]

I wouldn't see him - just tired of the same old.

[brynrich]

You guys are being complete dicks about the Nine Inch Nails thing. Do you honestly think Trent will stay committed to the "no more NIN" thing? Does any act actually do that these days?

There's also the fact that he contributed to the Achtung Baby tribute album as Nine Inch Nails

[Thisismyname]

NIN is only retired as a live act.

He said all along he may release stuff under the name in the future.

Unless I'm getting my band breakups confused.

I don't know how we're being "complete dicks" to johnd. If someone (including myself) made that comment in the fans lounge they'd have gotten it a lot worse than Johnd did.

And the guy that said Sabbath would be a sub?
Seriously, we've been relatively nice given the intelligence of some of these comments.

[MadBird11]

I can't believe that I'm the one that got warned out of everyone involved.
