It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[stupka32]

It is shit. - There is hope for me yet.

[MadBird11]

It is shit. - There is hope for me yet.

This makes me happy.

[Krentistthedentist]

Well, we're obviously complete pricks and stuff but I dunno it's the internet.

[stupka32]

Well, we're obviously complete pricks and stuff but I dunno it's the internet.

respect

[Krentistthedentist]

I still think anyone who thinks it's wrong to give people shit for a moronic comment on the internet is fucking soft.

[stupka32]

I still think anyone who thinks it's wrong to give people shit for a moronic comment on the internet is fucking soft.

Well yeah...unless I am the one who is taking shit, then its QUIT BEING ASSHOLES TO ME! WHY IS THIS BOARD SO CLIQUEY AND MEAN!

[Krentistthedentist]

Fuck tha clique I ride Krentist Krew for life. #suburbanthuggery

[VampireWeekday]

This would be more than ideal


Bruce Springsteen – Outkast – Blink-182
The Black Keys – Björk – Tiësto

Outkast vs. Björk
Blink-182 vs. The Black Keys
Bruce Springsteen vs. Tiësto

Edit: Also, by this point, I would say Outkast is just as likely as Daft Punk. The heck with all of the talk about the facebook page and website changing color.

[stupka32]

O-U-T-K-A-S-T
Live from the center of da earth.

[concertgoer]

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

Just curious as to why that word is off limits when people say faggot all the time on the board?

[Krentistthedentist]

I think using retard as a derogatory term is worse, personally.
Don't think that should surprise anyone. It just comes across as more malicious to me.

[Fargo Gargo]

Well I think it's hard to differentiate the two. It's pretty faggety to call people retards and pretty retarded to call people faggots.

[nikkirkpatrick]

N***** makes me sad.

[nikolajz1]

derp

[Krentistthedentist]

U mad?

[nikolajz1]

yes

[Sk8guyj18]

Outkast would be sweet. Anyone think the Roots will be there? Probably not a headliner, but sub for a hip hop artist possibly? Their new album is outstanding.

[Krentistthedentist]

yes, their new album is quite good.
I think it's definitely possible, but honestly they might not be pop enough to sub at this fest.

[TonyPicker690]

Well I think it's hard to differentiate the two. It's pretty faggety to call people retards and pretty retarded to call people faggots.

This makes me think of the Louis CK bit on the word faggot

[Krentistthedentist]

Quit being a faggot and suck that dick.

[hbankhead]

yes, their new album is quite good.
I think it's definitely possible, but honestly they might not be pop enough to sub at this fest.

I think if Atmosphere or Badu can play, then The Roots are a possibility.

[brynrich]

yes, their new album is quite good.
I think it's definitely possible, but honestly they might not be pop enough to sub at this fest.

Keep in mind that Roots shows are pretty rare these days, since they're limited to performing Saturdays because of their Jimmy Fallon thing.

[carligula]

I still think anyone who thinks it's wrong to give people shit for a moronic comment on the internet is fucking soft.

I'll show you soft!

Oh wait, that didn't cum out right.

I mean... uh... nevermind.

Calling people retards and faggots-- especially within a serious context-- is very much a no no on this board. If you're going to be malicious, at least be creative about it. If you feel like someone is using that kind of language inappropriately towards you, please use the report feature.

[carligula]

I think if Atmosphere or Badu can play, then The Roots are a possibility.

Badu and Atmosphere both played on the side stage, though. In fact, Badu was second-to-last on the side stage if I'm not mistaken. That said, I would expect Roots would be the 6ish main stage act. They played the 4ish slot before that in 2007, right? As Brynrich pint out, with the infrequent shows they play these days, I think they could easily sub.

[Hurricanekid]

Atmo was on the S stage a few years ago and closed the band shell last year. Thats pretty big.

I don't know that the Roots could headline in this era.

Sub for Kanye? Would be great.

[symbionese]

I don't know that the Roots could headline in this era.

racist.

[90sRevival]

but Kanye :(

[Fargo Gargo]

Aren't the side-stage closers basically the same size as the 6pm people these days? And they get longer sets. Seems like The Roots would end up there if they played.

Symb has the creative maliciousness market cornered i'm fucked.

me too

[Driftwood]

yes, their new album is quite good.

Definitely think they are subs.

[concertgoer]

If Nas and Damian Marley can be subs than The Roots can too

[mgignac]

Aren't the side-stage closers basically the same size as the 6pm people these days? And they get longer sets. Seems like The Roots would end up there if they played.

Yeah I think this would be the most likely if they even played at all.

[stelles75]

Can I say midget?

[nikkirkpatrick]

they prefer achondroplasic dwarf, or chondrie

[Caseysitsallgood]

Atmo was on the S stage a few years ago and closed the band shell last year.

no. south side stage. before Eminem.

[asob]

no. south side stage. before Eminem.

No, Hurricanekid was right, Cee-Lo was before Eminem last year.

[oasisfan]

Cee-Lo was S Main stage. Atmosphere was S Side stage directly before Eminem

[nikkirkpatrick]

awesome contributions! thx guys!

[mgignac]

Well, scratch what I said before about Pearl Jam. Just scheduled a UK tour including festival dates.

[Nile19]

PJ can not play and I would be happy

[Krentistthedentist]

I would be happy if you killed yourself >: (

[johnd12751]

if pearl jam is now in the picture, does

Surfer Blood -> Tokyo Police Club -> Queens of the Stone Age -> Pearl Jam

sound possible?

[nanatod]

sounds boring to me, especially after tpc's performance outside the hideout a couple of months ago.

[nikkirkpatrick]

if pearl jam is now in the picture, does

Surfer Blood -> Tokyo Police Club -> Queens of the Stone Age -> Pearl Jam

sound possible?

of course it's possible, along with probably a million other permutations.

[concertgoer]

Pearl Jam- RHCP- No Doubt
The Black Keys- Bjork- Mumford and Sons

Pearl Jam vs Mumford
RHCP vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

[Krentistthedentist]

Pearl Jam vs Mumford


:)

[arbee]

tough call for me

[Krentistthedentist]

No, it isn't.

[arbee]

not buying it?

[Krentistthedentist]

No, I would never insult you like that.

[Broc1123]

Way too bro-ish. Even for Lolla.

God that would be an awful set of headliners.

[MadBird11]

Pearl Jam- RHCP- No Doubt
The Black Keys- Bjork- Mumford and Sons

Pearl Jam vs Mumford
RHCP vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

I'd be ok with this.

[Krentistthedentist]

Way too bro-ish. Even for Lolla.

God that would be an awful set of headliners.

1) I count 3 bro headliners and we had like 5 bro headliners this year.
2)) Not sure how Pearl Jam Bjork Keys is any better or worse than Coldplay MMJ Foo Fighters but w/e keep on derpin if you want

[nikolajz1]

Pearl Jam- RHCP- No Doubt
The Black Keys- Bjork- Mumford and Sons

Pearl Jam vs Mumford
RHCP vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

Wouldnt go

[Broc1123]

4 right? PJ, RHCP, Keys, Mumford. This year I guess we had 4. Coldplay's crowd definitely wasn't filled with bros.

I just don't see those headliners. The #1s from 06 and 07? Doesn't seem likely.

[MadBird11]

Someone remind me how Pearl Jam is back in the mix again, unless CG just pulled it out of his ass?

[Krentistthedentist]

I just don't see those headliners. The #1s from 06 and 07? Doesn't seem likely.

All but MMJ were bro bands.
Pearl Jam's fans are definitely too old for them to be a bro band.
Nice try, though.

[Driftwood]

Lolno.

[Broc1123]

Alright, but you agree C3 isn't gonna book 2 former #1 headliners in the same year?

[Krentistthedentist]

Lolno.

You're kidding, right?
In my general vicinity, I'm usually the youngest by quite a bit. ESPECIALLY at the UC ones.
Crowd was a little younger at Alpine cos Strokes and QoTSA

[Driftwood]

At least half around me was younger (maybe more) at Indy for Pearl Jam / BoH. Similar for the United Center show I went to.

[Krentistthedentist]

I think out of all the people I've spoken to in my three years as a college student, like, two were Pearl Jam fans and neither were bros. And most of the people I know here are bros.

[concertgoer]

Someone remind me how Pearl Jam is back in the mix again, unless CG just pulled it out of his ass?

Playing festivals in Europe next summer

[concertgoer]

Tons of bros at every PJ set I have seen fwiw

[concertgoer]

Wouldnt go

Needs moar Adele amirite?

[Audiobully]

Pearl Jam vs Mumford
RHCP vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

Works for me!

[nikolajz1]

Needs moar Adele amirite?

Needs more music that I WONT fall asleep to.

That being said, I think last year was my last Lolla for a while. I dont see a need to go this year.

[xbadx1233]

Aren't there normally at least SOME actual rumors by this time of year?

[dij22]

If I remember correctly, the real rumors have actually been coming out later and later the last couple years. I think I prefer it that way, speculating is good fun.

[Krentistthedentist]

Tons of bros at every PJ set I have seen fwiw

Well you're the only bro I've ever seen at a PJ set > : (

[nikolajz1]

If I remember correctly, the real rumors have actually been coming out later and later the last couple years. I think I prefer it that way, speculating is good fun.

Or depressing when you realize no one good is going to play.

[concertgoer]

Or depressing when you realize no one good is going to play.

Stop being such a debbie downer
No one has even been confirmed or rumored yet

[concertgoer]

Well you're the only bro I've ever seen at a PJ set > : (

Please you are more of a bro than I am;)

[nanatod]

No one has even been confirmed or rumored yet

except for steel pulse.

[Krentistthedentist]

How do we know steel pulse is playing?

[nikkirkpatrick]

Or depressing when you realize no one good is going to play.

this makes me feel really good about the lineup

[nanatod]

How do we know steel pulse is playing?

look in the nanafish goes to lolla chile where one of the musicians and one of the support team tell me to my face that they are.

[nikolajz1]

look in the nanafish goes to lolla chile where one of the musicians and one of the support team tell me to my face that they are.

You went to Lolla Chile!?

[nikkirkpatrick]

i don't get it.

[stelles75]

There is only one band that would bring me back to Lolla next year. Two if you were to count an implausible Led Zeppelin reunion.

[WretchedSkye2113]

There is only one band that would bring me back to Lolla next year. Two if you were to count an implausible Led Zeppelin reunion.

oh gurl, plz.

[stelles75]

srsly

[WretchedSkye2113]

then you better be coming up for p4k cuz Sabbath @ lolla aint happening.
(i mean i'll be optimistic if you want, but c'mon)

[stelles75]

I really, really enjoyed Pitchfork. No, not Sabbath... unless it was a one time thing.

[WretchedSkye2113]

who you talkin' bout, stillis?
Masto? wouldn't headline yet, sadly. :(

[stelles75]

http://cdn1.ticketsinventory.com/images/last_photos/concert/T/the-cure/2011_dates_the-cure_130288137123.png

[WretchedSkye2113]

oh. well that's even more unlikely than the 2 aforementioned bands.
now you have to come to p4k.

[concertgoer]

I really, really enjoyed Pitchfork. No, not Sabbath... unless it was a one time thing.

Fuck Pitchfork, get your ass to Coachella

[stupka32]

Fuck Pitchfork, get your ass to Coachella

so far.

[concertgoer]

R U going west?

[stelles75]

Let's see how money looks come tax time. I should be able to swing one of those trips.

[stupka32]

R U going west?

No. I don't really want to travel that far by myself.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Let's see how money looks come tax time. I should be able to swing one of those trips.

but i need my yearly stelles quota for 2012. :(
i debate whether or not that statement helps or hinders the chances of you going now.

[stelles75]

It helps. I've been feeling pretty bad lately about some things. Pretty sure I burnt a bridge or two around here.

[MadBird11]

It helps. I've been feeling pretty bad lately about some things. Pretty sure I burnt a bridge or two around here.

You're fine. Everyone keeps me around.

[stelles75]

This is true. :)

[concertgoer]

You're fine. Everyone keeps me around.

Best Madbird post :)

[concertgoer]

I will probably be at three festivials with Wretched in 2012 so he probaly is going to be sick of me

[WretchedSkye2113]

GO THE FUCK AWAY ALREADY. :)

coach, p4k, lolla all fosho.
you doing roo?

[stupka32]

Which fest has the most neeked ladies. I'll go to that one with you guys.

[MadBird11]

Pretty sure it's Coachella.

[concertgoer]

Lolla and Coach for sure and the lineup would have to totally suck balls for me to skip Pitchfork
No Roo

[nikkirkpatrick]

Pretty sure it's Coachella.

bonnaroo if you count painted boobies

[stupka32]

I count all boobies

[Krentistthedentist]

I saw a great set on Saturday night for sure.
Sunday I was too zonked out for titties.

[Krentistthedentist]

I will probably be at three festivials with Wretched in 2012 so he probaly is going to be sick of me

I saw the concertgoat on 4 separate weekends in 2011.
Who gon top that shit?

[stupka32]

And even if I don't see titties we can always go to Hooters and take pics with the waitresses.

[nanatod]

Which fest has the most neeked ladies. I'll go to that one with you guys.

I think burning man festival wins in that department.

[Krentistthedentist]

Concertgoat pointed out to me the other day that Justin Timberlake is playing shows in 2012? Could JT AND a hip hop headliner (Wayne, Drake [who is honestly my pick for most likely hip hop headliner now], Kanye, Jay, Beastie Boys if there's a medical miracle) potentially play?

[MadBird11]

If Timberlake were to play any of the domestic big 4, Lolla would have to be first, right?

[Krentistthedentist]

I think, demographically, it suits him the best.

[MadBird11]

As far as a hip-hop headliner at the same time... No. But honestly I think I'd rather have JT over any "rumored" hip-hop artist thus far.

[Krentistthedentist]

Just so everyone knows, the hip hop headliner is going to be Drake./

[concertgoer]

If Timberlake were to play any of the domestic big 4, Lolla would have to be first, right?

For sure

[Audiobully]

Would Prodigy play North or Perry's? They sell out Congress and are now hitting up festivals debuting new material.

[MadBird11]

Probably still Perry's at this point.

[concertgoer]

Pearl Jam- Justin Timberlake - No Doubt
The Black Keys- Bjork- Mumford and Sons

PJ vs Mumford
JT vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

[Krentistthedentist]

Find somewhere to put in Drake and take the Keys out and that's plausible.

[Sk8guyj18]

Why would JT come here first out of the big 4, just curious. Not trying to be critical I just don't get why Lolla over Coachella, etc.

[MadBird11]

Why would JT come here first out of the big 4, just curious. Not trying to be critical I just don't get why Lolla over Coachella, etc.

Well, this is a horrible festival with a tendency to book pop acts (Lady Gaga, Eminem), so it makes sense.

[Audiobully]

Probably still Perry's at this point.

I have this weird gut feeling they could make their way to Perry's this summer.

[LollyP]

Well, this is a horrible festival with a tendency to book pop acts (Lady Gaga, Eminem), so it makes sense.

lulz, the word you're looking for is mainstream

[LollyP]

Pearl Jam- Justin Timberlake - No Doubt
The Black Keys- Bjork- Mumford and Sons

PJ vs Mumford
JT vs Bjork
No Doubt vs The Keys

i think at this point BK is bigger than no doubt

[Krentistthedentist]

lulz, the word you're looking for is mainstream

For Eminem?
The term is pop.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Well, this is a horrible festival with a tendency to book pop acts (Lady Gaga, Eminem), so it makes sense.

to be fair, JT is a step up from LG or E.
plus it just means that reserves a night for a kind of Strokes or MMJ opponent, which i'm certainly fine with.

[MadBird11]

lulz, the word you're looking for is mainstream

lulz, no.


to be fair, JT is a step up from LG or E.
plus it just means that reserves a night for a kind of Strokes or MMJ opponent, which i'm certainly fine with.

I agree on both counts. I don't think it'll happen, but it'd be nice.

[johnd12751]

lulz, no.



made my day

[Krentistthedentist]

Red Hot Chili Peppers* Justin Timberlake* The Killers * Drake
Vampire Weekend * Bjork* Queens of the Stone Age

RHCP vs Vampire Weekend
The Killers vs Drake
Justin Timberlake vs Bjork

[Thisismyname]

It's kind of crazy seeing Vampire Weekend over Bjork.

Please note I am not disagreeing with the billing though.

[Krentistthedentist]

At this point, I'd honestly be fine with Vampire Weekend/Drake/Bjork *shrugs*

[nikkirkpatrick]

that is an awful set of headliners.

[MadBird11]

that's probably 2/3's accurate.

.

[nikolajz1]

Red Hot Chili Peppers* Justin Timberlake* The Killers * Drake
Vampire Weekend * Bjork* Queens of the Stone Age

RHCP vs Vampire Weekend
The Killers vs Drake
Justin Timberlake vs Bjork

VM/ The Killers/ JT not bad.

[Broc1123]

I'm really surprised at how many people are putting the Killers in there. They just played in 09, as you know, and haven't released an album since. I wouldn't expect the new one till next Fall either. If the Killers play a major next year, it will be Bonnaroo.

[concertgoer]

Yeah I don't think The Killers are playing anymore shows until their new album comes out

[Krentistthedentist]

I hope they do.
The less of their new album they play, the better.

[nikolajz1]

Based off of Brandons last album I dont have high hopes for the next Killers album. They need to stop doing "bruce" albums and just make fun unz unz.

[Broc1123]

Yeah I don't think The Killers are playing anymore shows until their new album comes out

I'm not sure about this though.

I wouldn't be surprised if they play a few festivals next summer. I also wouldn't be surprised if you're right.

[nikkirkpatrick]

anything's possible

[Broc1123]

Yeah but not Lolla in 2012.

[nikkirkpatrick]

that's not really what i meant but ok

[WretchedSkye2113]

Red Hot Chili Peppers* Justin Timberlake* The Killers * Drake
Vampire Weekend * Bjork* Queens of the Stone Age

(qotsa) RHCP vs Vampire Weekend
The Killers vs Drake
Justin Timberlake vs Bjork

s'pose i can fuck with that.

[El Goodo]

I will co-fuck, but will not be caught dead near RHCP or the Killers.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Bjork and qotsa are the only names on that list i would consider 'fucking with'

[oasisfan]

I would be bored as fuck at a Bjork show.

[nikkirkpatrick]

any other judgments about things you've not experienced?

[oasisfan]

nope :)

[Krentistthedentist]

I will co-fuck, but will not be caught dead near RHCP or the Killers.

I would probably see all of them except RHCP

[Fargo Gargo]

any other judgments about things you've not experienced?

Sometimes you just know. I would be bored as fuck at an Oasis show, for example.

[Fargo Gargo]

I wonder if RHCP would ever do something like play Blood Sugar Sex Magik in its entirety. And I also wonder if people would be into that. It would certainly make them a bit more interesting as a repeat headlining option.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i would actually be stoked to see them if they played all of BSSM.
even minus leFruuuusch

[Spoonman11084]

Red Hot Chili Peppers * Bjork * The Cure *
Beck * The Black Keys * Justice

[El Goodo]

Yes, gimme Beck.

[WretchedSkye2113]

is there any news of him touring?
Beck is this board's backup Bowie.

[nikkirkpatrick]

he played the bridge school benefit.

[El Goodo]

Beck is this board's backup Bowie.

Shel Silverstein over here.

Nice alliteration, holmes.

[MadBird11]

he played the bridge school benefit.

That doesn't mean anything.

[nikkirkpatrick]

js dawg. js.

[johnd12751]

Just curious, but does anyone think if the Killers have another Hot Fuss, will they be a #1?

PS- I know they wont have another Hot Fuss, but I'm just wondering.

[Broc1123]

Very interesting question johnd.

[hbankhead]

Just curious, but does anyone think if the Killers have another Hot Fuss, will they be a #1?

PS- I know they wont have another Hot Fuss, but I'm just wondering.

Yep, they will be the biggest band that ever was...

[Nile19]

[xbadx1233]

Just curious, but does anyone think if the Killers have another Hot Fuss, will they be a #1?

PS- I know they wont have another Hot Fuss, but I'm just wondering.

Basically you're asking if a band will be a #1 if they have an insanely popular album....

...This tends to happen

[Sk8guyj18]

Beck and Outkast need to happen.

[johnd12751]

Basically you're asking if a band will be a #1 if they have an insanely popular album....

...This tends to happen

well you see, lollapalooza 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 (Rock Headliner that is) all have had #1's that have been around for a much longer time than the Killer's, bands that all began 90's and earlier. I'm not asking if they will be popular enough, i'm asking if the explosion of a new album could change that.

[Krentistthedentist]

If they can average ~3 hits an album for the next 7-10 years or so they'll be a #1

[Krentistthedentist]

Based off of Brandons last album I dont have high hopes for the next Killers album. They need to stop doing "bruce" albums and just make fun unz unz.

fwiw Read My Mind is probably the best song they've ever made.

[oasisfan]

When You Were Young is the best imo.

[Broc1123]

I love Sam's Town. I'm not afraid to admit it. Day & Age though, that's a different story.

[brynrich]

Blink 182 will be a headliner at The Bamboozle next summer. I could see them making an appearance at Lolla...

[oasisfan]

I would be ok with this.

[oasisfan]

Hell put em up against Bjork.

[MadBird11]

Hell put em up against Bjork.

God I hope not.

[VampireWeekday]

Like this?


Metallica – Kanye West – Blink-182
The Black Keys – Björk – Adele

Blink-182 vs. Björk
Metallica vs. Adele
Kanye West vs. The Black Keys

[MadBird11]

Like this?


Metallica – Kanye West – Blink-182
The Black Keys – Björk – Adele

Blink-182 vs. Björk
Metallica vs. Adele
Kanye West vs. The Black Keys

No. Not at all.

[VampireWeekday]

No. Not at all.

Just an idea. I kind of threw Adele in there, but if Lady Gaga can snag a top 3 spot after 1.5 albums, Adele can certainly take a 4-6 given her huge amount of popularity this year.

[MadBird11]

Horrible idea.

Don't do it again.

[VampireWeekday]

You don't see it as plausible? Or just don't like the idea? Because those are two different objections.

[brynrich]

Madbird has the sandiest vagina in the lineup forum.

[Krentistthedentist]

I'm the nicest guy in the lineup forum

[MikeAugust]

Does the fact that bjork is playing a show in norway on august 9 hinder the chances of her playing at lolla. Also RHCP are playing finland on august 1

[WretchedSkye2113]

still thinking Metallica playing the black album makes the most sense for the NIN/Tool/GD/FF rock slot this year.

[Krentistthedentist]

Also RHCP are playing finland on august 1

Fantastic news

[concertgoer]

Still doesn't rule them out though
They could headline Saturday or Sunday

[concertgoer]

Why does Madbird have a problem with Blink vs Bjork?

[jcp]

tool is playing shows early in 2012 (for now). how about a real maynard appearance at lolla in 2012?

http://audioinkradio.com/2011/12/tool-band-2012-tour

[concertgoer]

How about not

[WretchedSkye2113]

tool is playing shows early in 2012 (for now). how about a real maynard appearance at lolla in 2012?


Tool has played Lolla- what- 3 times, now? APC has played twice. Puscifer will be on there some day I'm sure.
and if Tool played now, it'd be the same setlist as the 09 show.

we can wait.

http://audioinkradio.com/2011/12/tool-band-2012-tour

I wouldn't think C3 would be in a rush to have them back so early (they headlined in 2009). Puscifer is playing shows in the spring. They might be more likely (although they don't really have a "traditional" performance). [edit: Wretched beat me to it]

I've given up on Bjork, but I'm happy to hear that RHCP is also overseas in August. To me, having them be the #1 act at ACL makes a lot more sense than recycling a #1 act for Chicagopalooza. They still haven't played ACL, right?

Blink-182 makes plenty of sense, which I'm ambivalent about. I don't really listen to them that much, but they put on a stellar show back in the day.

I would love to see Metallica again, so I hope they make their triumphant return to Lolla in 2012. I just hope we don't get the full Black album-- although if they're already going to be playing Sad But True, Nothing Else Matters, Unforgiven, and Enter Sandman, it would be nice to get things like Wolf and Man, God that Failed, and Holier Than Thou.

Metallica vs. Wilco
Blink-182 vs. Basnectar
Kanye vs. Black Keys

[WretchedSkye2113]

don't think so.

so i'm still ignorantly using my 6 "category" system, and have no idea who our 'reunited' act would be this year, except maybe sabbath (fat chance) but,

Black Sabbath * Metallica (playing The Black Album) * Kanye West
Wilco * The Prodigy * The Black Keys

ok yeah i just stole Download Festival's headliners, what about it?

and yeah, wilco can play chicago 27 times within 12 months.

[carligula]

Wow, with my edits, you look like you're just copying me!

[WretchedSkye2113]

oops. :D
great racists minds think alike.

except blink vs nectar would suck. =/ gimme something good at the grove or triphop or avalanches at perry's that night.

[WretchedSkye2113]

also,

Metallica vs. Wilco would suck because i haven't seen Wilco yet and i wanna see "God That Failed" live.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Tool has played Lolla- what- 3 times, now? APC has played twice. Puscifer will be on there some day I'm sure.
and if Tool played now, it'd be the same setlist as the 09 show.

we can wait.

i bet the january shows get something new, whther it be an instrumental or an EBA-style segue or an actual finished song.

[WretchedSkye2113]

are those shows actually happening?
i read that those tix got pulled after 5 minutes and it was labeled a hoax.

[carligula]

They put them back up and the provided link says they've been confirmed.

Also, any real Tool fan should know better than to expect anything "new" at a Tool show. ; )

[WretchedSkye2113]

heh, Tool in Reno.

but yeah, better be some new material ready.

[brynrich]

Random thought I had: what if Lollapalooza managed to get the final Sonic Youth show?

[c1916]

4PM set
or
Grove Closer

[MookieDaddy]

Random thought I had: what if Lollapalooza managed to get the final Sonic Youth show?

This would make me happier than just about any of the other names thrown out so far. Though I don't think they'll string it along til August.

[joelmanfu]

Vampire Weekend is planning a summer tour

[nikkirkpatrick]

heh, Tool in Reno.

but yeah, better be some new material ready.

LOL

[concertgoer]

Neat regarding VW
Lolla or Pitchfork headliner for sure

[joelmanfu]

Neat regarding VW
Lolla or Pitchfork headliner for sure

yeah, most definitely

[KevBlu42]

Is there usually a Pitchfork rumors thread? Or is that frowned upon on this board?

[MadBird11]

Does the fact that bjork is playing a show in norway on august 9 hinder the chances of her playing at lolla. Also RHCP are playing finland on august 1

Yes and Yes, although it doesn't completely rule them out just yet.


Why does Madbird have a problem with Blink vs Bjork?

Lollapalooza cannot have two bands that I disprove of play against each other the same night as headliners.


Random thought I had: what if Lollapalooza managed to get the final Sonic Youth show?

FAP

[MadBird11]

Bon Iver
XX
Reunion to be named later

/Pitchfork

[KevBlu42]

Bon Iver
XX
Reunion to be named later

/Pitchfork

I was thinking Mastodon. I agree with XX and Bon Iver though, and I'm okay with that.

[concertgoer]

So yeah Drake is headlining Lolla, based on the the dates that came out today

[WretchedSkye2113]

...he's headliner worthy?
also, why not pofo?

you could possibly kill 2 birds with one stone here.

[concertgoer]

He is playing all arenas on this tour so yeah headliner for sure
Probably too big for Pitchfork

[WretchedSkye2113]

welp, just guarantees i won't have a conflict that night.
...unless they put him against VW or M&S or something. fack. that'd be a nightmare.

[concertgoer]

I think he would be on the north stage against one of the rock headliners

[WretchedSkye2113]

putting him against Metallica would be graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.
and then put Wilco against one of those horrible new up and rising acts.
and the reunited band against the black keys.

and all is well.

[MadBird11]

So yeah Drake is headlining Lolla, based on the the dates that came out today

Off to an ok start.

[concertgoer]

So Madbird doesn't like Bjork
#thingsilearnedtoday

[MadBird11]

Thought I had been pretty clear about that before.

[WretchedSkye2113]

moar maderping

[MadBird11]

moar maderping

You can't rush art.

[concertgoer]

Metallica- Blink 182- The Black Keys
Bjork- Drake- Mumford and Sons

Metallica vs Mumford
Blink vs Bjork
The Keys vs Drake

[WretchedSkye2113]

too cheap?

i'm thinking after last year, c3 is clearly interested in putting all the money into the top tier.

[El Goodo]

Day 1 = Eww.

[joelmanfu]

So yeah Drake is headlining Lolla, based on the the dates that came out today

where are these dates?

[concertgoer]

too cheap?

i'm thinking after last year, c3 is clearly interested in putting all the money into the top tier.

Could be, though Bjork I would imagine would be pretty expensive to book and the top 3 plus Drake all play arenas now
Also Mumford will be headliniing arenas once their new album drops

[joelmanfu]

I really don't think Bjork is going to play. Most kids will say, "Who the fuck is that?"

[nikkirkpatrick]

i really don't think i'll be attending Lollapalooza this year.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Also Mumford will be headliniing arenas once their new album drops

still don't think they'll play lolla.

[MookieDaddy]

Metallica- Blink 182- The Black Keys
Bjork- Drake- Mumford and Sons

Metallica vs Mumford
Blink vs Bjork

Ugh... This makes Lolla 2011 look like Woodstock.

[KevBlu42]

Looks like I'll be getting a single-day pass for Metallica this year. Hope Pitchfork will be good.

[nikkirkpatrick]

...

[WretchedSkye2113]

quit making it look so horrible, cg.


Metallica (playing the Black Album) * Kanye West * Bjork
The Raconteurs * Beastie Boys * Wilco


(Mastodon) Metallica vs Wilco (The Decemberists)
(Queens of the Stone Age) Beastie Boys vs Bjork (Thievery Corporation)
(Drake) Kanye West vs The Raconteurs (The Black Keys)

[nikkirkpatrick]

that would be acceptable.

[KevBlu42]

that would be acceptable.

But far from realistic.

[WretchedSkye2113]

hardly. only not-touring at the moment is Beastie Boys, and Bjork would be hard pressed to play Lolla and then fly to Norway within a matter of days.

other than that though.

[johnd12751]

lol at racounters and bjork over the keys

[Krentistthedentist]

So yeah Drake is headlining Lolla, based on the the dates that came out today


Of course he is, but I don't know if these dates have anything to do with that.

[Broc1123]

C'mon man. Keys are selling out arenas and Drake will too. Also, Decemberists are taking a long break.

I'd love for the Raconteurs to play, and it'd seem likely if not for it being unlikely they book them and the Black Keys. But I should catch Racs at Roo most likely so it's fine.

[Broc1123]

And could I have a link or a source for that Vampire Weekend summer tour thing? Google gave me nothing.

[Krentistthedentist]

lol at racounters and bjork over the keys

lol.
Wretched just got reality checked by johnd

[El Goodo]

Then Broc came and hit him with a surpriiiiiiise left.

[Broc1123]

johnd and I are tight. I got his back.

[90sRevival]

if Beastie Boys AND Kanye were there.. damn.

[joelmanfu]

And could I have a link or a source for that Vampire Weekend summer tour thing? Google gave me nothing.

No link, just an email. I work with a music festival in the midwest and the promoter said Vampire Weekend is interested in playing our fest, but getting a summer tour booked first.

[nikkirkpatrick]

kansuxass?

[concertgoer]

Really don't think that Wilco will be playing next year
