It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[WampireVeekend]

i think she could be a stretch since she has overseas dates a few days after lolla i think. that being said, i would not be surprised if she was on the lineup

[oasisfan]

Just Chile. The problem with Bjork is that I don't think she'd cater to the demographic that Lolla seems to be going for nowadays.

My Morning Jacket doesn't really fit the demographic of the bro community either though. Granted they play a lot of festival dates.

just out of curiosity -- did you attend last year?

[MadBird11]

just out of curiosity -- did you attend last year?

Lolla? No.

[Krentistthedentist]

Put a Justice or something good on the other end and I'm good.


At this point in Metallica's career, they were 2 for 2.
Justice is only 1 for 2 at this point.
I understand if you are a megafaggot and don't like metal, but don't act like Justice is better > : (

[carligula]

I have nothing to back this up, but I don't feel like C3 will want to resort to bringing back a #1 Chicagopalooza act. I'm still not expecting a repeat of RHCP, Pearl Jam, Radiohead, etc. It's possible they've avoided bringing back the Pixies for that reason.

I think it's time for Metallica to take their spot at the top.

[carligula]

Metallica vs. Drake
Black Keys vs. Tiesto
Blink 182 vs. Vampire Weekend

[symbionese]

they could easily top 100k on that one.

[carligula]

Do you think it's realistic?

[symbionese]

quite.

[carligula]

Scary, isn't it?

Metallica vs. Drake

Forgive me for not knowing much about electronic music, but is Tiesto still that big of a deal?

[nikkirkpatrick]

forgive me for not wanting to see any of those bands.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

Ya I'm pretty sure MadBird's friends at the frat all still like Tiesto and most likely call it dubstep.

[nikkirkpatrick]

i heard tiesto is releasing an album of dubstep remixes of his own tracks. that should be wobble.

[johnd12751]

At the Drive in as a sub?

[MadBird11]

Was waiting for someone to bring it up... in the wrong thread, of course.

[johnd12751]

or are they not that popular? im unsure

[johnd12751]

i only posted it here because nobody looks at the other thread, and i wanted to get a response

[concertgoer]

They would either be a sub or play at 4:30 like DFA last year.

[MadBird11]

4:30, a la the Cars. It is Lolla, after all.

[WretchedSkye2113]

play at 4:30 like DFA last year.

this.
they'll be this year's DFA1979 for both Coachella and Lollapalooza.

[Thisismyname]

I feel like they are a lot bigger than DFA79, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

[WretchedSkye2113]

oh, they are.
still stand by my endorsement of cg's statement.

[carligula]

I would think that headlining Ultra 2012 makes an electronic act somewhat relevant, yes. I suppose Justice would make more people on this board happier, but I think Tiesto would grab the attention of more folks at the top of the bill.

Perry's: Armin van Buuren

I feel like Armin is way too big for Perry's. I mean if deadmau5 actually played on a main stage, I think Armin would too. Also, I think Real Estate would be at Pitchfork rather than Lolla because of the reviews on Pitchfork's website.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

who the fuck is armin van buuren

[MadBird11]

He's like the Dutch David Guetta.

[johnd12751]

I feel like Armin is way too big for Perry's. I mean if deadmau5 actually played on a main stage, I think Armin would too. Also, I think Real Estate would be at Pitchfork rather than Lolla because of the reviews on Pitchfork's website.

k charmander. armin just played a not even sold out show at the rave, deadmau5 played two shows at the congress. end of it

I didn't realize he was headlining Ultra. Damn...

Lolla still hates black people.

[Sk8guyj18]

coachella lineup has dre and snoop.

lmao

by the way, M. Ward on the Coach lineup. Anyone think he'll (She and Him) can be at Lolla?

[Nile19]

I think no way for Dre being anywhere other than Coachella (I would be a little surprised if he actually shows up period)
I still think Black Keys could headline Lolla and or Radiohead (again... waiting for the rest of their tour to be announced)

[MadBird11]

Let's be perfectly clear: Dre is only doing Coachella cuz California.

Anyone who suggests that he's doing Lolla has no business being on this board.

[WretchedSkye2113]

I'd be perfectly fine seeing four of those headliners.
It's just too bad I wouldn't be able to see Drizzy promoting this current album.

They can't all be good

It still worked on two people though

[KevBlu42]

Thursday played their final show last week.

[Krentistthedentist]

Good.

[nikkirkpatrick]

apparently it's cool if you're from new jersey

[Krentistthedentist]

There are exactly two cool bands from Jersey.

[MadBird11]

Bruce and...

[concertgoer]

Bruce and...

Bon Jovi of course;)

[Leyser]

Misfits

[Krentistthedentist]

Bruce and...

No shit, moron.


Misfits


yes.

[MadBird11]

But I don't like the Misfits.

[Krentistthedentist]

Oh my god leave the fucking earth already

[WretchedSkye2113]

srsly.
usually ktd's a bit hyperbolic, but come the fuck on now.

[MadBird11]

If I must.

Someone must step up and be the worst regular possible since nikojadkshfajhg is on hiatus.

[Krentistthedentist]

If I must.

Alternately, you could leave.

[WretchedSkye2113]

since nikojadkshfajhg is on hiatus.

woah, the Coachella lineup really did a number on him, eh?

[concertgoer]

Krentist what about Titus?

[Krentistthedentist]

Yeah, I like them too but someone not liking titus wouldn't provoke my apocalyptic ire like the other two would.

[MadBird11]

Alternately, you could leave.

Only if Nikoakha;gsdh comes back or someone else really shitty becomes a regular.

Jane's Addiction announced spring tour dates with nothing in Chicago. Also the only show on that tour within the radius is Indianapolis, scheduled for February 5 -- almost exactly six months before Lollapalooza.

C'Mon Wretched. No way Keys are 6th at this point. And Thievery Corporation is not that big.

[WretchedSkye2113]

C'Mon Wretched. No way Keys are 6th at this point. And Thievery Corporation is not that big.

the only one i have on my lineup that i could see TBK being put over is Wilco. but that's 5 vs a 6 so whatever.
thievery corporation was billed 9th in 2009. or do you mean relative to the rest of the bands on my lineup?

[MadBird11]

thievery corporation was billed 9th in 2009. or do you mean relative to the rest of the bands on my lineup?

Like it or not, the Keys are playing the United Center. Wilco is not. Bjork is not.

And I think that Queens and The Shins (and maybe even Nicki, depending on how her year goes) would be bigger than Thievery Corporation.

[WretchedSkye2113]

you're still arguing about 4-6. not a big jump.
and you're right, but i don't see an exclusive (as far as lolla is concerned) act like Bjork being billed less than 4th. mountains out of molehills though.

it was mentioned last year when qotsa was still a possibility that they couldn't sell half of the seats in Congress Theater, and im not sure the Riv show last year sold out either. they have a strong fanbase, but i'm not sure where they rank on the whole spectrum anymore. The Shins billing at Coachella is ridiculous, are they that big now? honestly just ignorance on my part if they are.
my placement of thiev.corp. is strictly based on who they were placed above in 2009. idk if they've become more or less known in that time.

[MadBird11]

I've heard them (Thiev. corp) do nothing since 09, but I don't like them anyway, so I wouldn't really know/care.

[concertgoer]

Regarding The Shins I read that they had a huge crowd at Outside lands last summer so there's that.

[Broc1123]

Prediction: The Black Keys will be billed 3rd and play the South Stage at Lollapalooza this Summer.

If Coachella can pass them as top 3, no way Lolla doesn't at this point.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

Have you all forgotten how Lollapalooza had a much better line-up than Coachella last year?

[MookieDaddy]

Uh oh.

[Krentistthedentist]

it was mentioned last year when qotsa was still a possibility that they couldn't sell half of the seats in Congress Theater, and im not sure the Riv show last year sold out either.

Sold out instantly bro

[nikkirkpatrick]

yeah, that's not quite accurate.

[BearDownBoilerUp]

that was the consensus when the line-up was announced.

[WretchedSkye2113]

that was the consensus when the line-up was announced.

which consensus on which lineup?
the board consensus on the lolla lineup was that it was total shit. #notsayingiagreed

[BearDownBoilerUp]

just overall. the consensus here doesn't count because you all hate the line-up every year regardless.

[MadBird11]

The Lolla lineup was not worth 60 bucks last year, let alone 215 or whatever they were charging.

[MadBird11]

just overall. the consensus here doesn't count because you all hate the line-up every year regardless.

That's not quite true either, but whatever.

[WretchedSkye2113]

The Lolla lineup was not worth 60 bucks last year, let alone 215 or whatever they were charging.

i would've paid mostly anything for that lineup last year. in retrospect, maybe my favorite lineup since '08.

...and now i run away!

[BearDownBoilerUp]

Last year was the most fun I've had at Lollapalooza. That's not 100% because of the line-up but I mean, to say that line-up was complete shit and not worth even $60 is almost as retarded as saying El Camino is better than Brothers.

[WretchedSkye2113]

to say that line-up was complete shit and not worth even $60 is almost as retarded as saying El Camino is better than Brothers.

...well i agree 1 out of 2 on this one.

Brothers was boring.

[MadBird11]

...well i agree 1 out of 2 on this one.

Brothers almost didn't feel like a Keys album to be honest.

Well fuck, exceptions beat me again.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Well fuck, exceptions beat me again.

i think it's that knowing Muse so early in the game last year caused us to create a lot of threads/search for rumors earlier.
this year we've been in the dark for 6 months, so we haven't bothered poking around as much.

also, because the board was far more vocal with their hate for festivals in general last year, hence apathy.

this thread always gets started early. it's always a trainwreck. it kind of supposed to be.

you may have created the one lineup that would me- wretchedtaste- to not attend a lollapalooza.
sweet jesus and mary on a fucking pogostick.

True. I expect 3 days to be 250 this year. 1 day pass for like 110 or something.

I dont have any expectation of this year being good after how meh last year was. I'm not asking for a 3 day line up like coachella, but if we get another generic recyced line up with the same bands we saw 2 years ago Ima be pissed.

For me

Radiohead/Drake/SHM= Coldplay/FF/Eminem

I certainly think the subs

Weeknd/The Hives/Florence>>> Bright Eyes/Arctic Monkeys/Cee Lo

Maybe it wouldnt be so bad.

I certainly think the subs

Terrible, terrible subs. Just because Coachella doesn't know how to rank order acts on their poster doesn't mean Lollapalooza will all of a sudden start having shit like The Weeknd and Miike Snow as subheadliners.

random flight back to the US for like two weeks in between a huge European tour leg and have the first weekend in August off?
i'd say that's just about a gimme.

good catch, Nile!

Gah

At least I won't be having a bad conflict that night.

RHCP just rescheduled some dates and now it seems even more likely...

RHCP Black Keys Drake
Vampire Weekend Wilco Justice

ugh ugh ugh.

i'm still sticking with

Metallica Yeezy RHCP
TBK Bjork Wilco/Shins

[WampireVeekend]

I really think we will get a new number 1, so maybe something like...

Metallica - RHCP - The Black Keys
Drake - Vampire Weekend - Justice

[nikkirkpatrick]

ugh ugh ugh.


this was rpetty much my intension.

i think its more possible with tiesto instead of justice on a main stage. sad world we live in

[johnd12751]

howver, i do think the hives may get cold war kids spot on the grove

[johnd12751]

I dont even like tiesto, and I like Justice much better, its just what I think at this point.

[brynrich]

If we get Tiesto, we all have to buy these. (http://www.redbubble.com/people/senorcardgage/works/4540875-tiesto-touched-my-butthole?p=t-shirt)

RHCP's rescheduled shows put them in California in early August and Texas in early October. I like where this is going...

[WretchedSkye2113]

carl...

edit: i think Nile's post already confirmed it, but it looks like the page was updated again from this morning, so it's not really repetitive news. ignore me!

[carligula]

I promise I went back to check. Must have missed it in my scanning. I think it's relevant to mention how likely they are to play ACL, though. I know they often share headliners, but I'm thinking RHCP will be #1 and "exclusive" to ACL.

Is there another US Fest on that side of the country in August? Would Outside Lands work!?

[WretchedSkye2113]

to be fair that's not how the page looked this morning.
i think all those dates were already in Nile's post, but it looks like they redid the site or something in between then and now.

i'm really thinking RHCP will be this year's FF/GD/Tool/NIN rawk show. when was the last time they played acl? (fuck a google)

[carligula]

They were the #1 at Chicagopalooza 2006, a fest that has yet to repeat a #1 headliner. They haven't played ACL as far as I know.

Outside Lands is held in mid August. The LA shows are the first Saturday and Sunday after Lolla and the Oakland shows are the following Tue and Wed. They could play OL on the Friday before or the weekend after those shows. Everybody happy?

i is aware.
and i think a repeat at this point is possible- i just don't think they'd be #1 this year.
(don't know how, but yeah.)

i'd like to be wrong. i'd like to see another newcomer like FF or a 90's legacy fun act like Green Day pop up again. Metallica could certainly fill that spot.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Best news
edit: do they still have those European festival dates in early august ?

[johnd12751]

Guys I really hate to say it, but since we're not gonna share two headliners with Coachella, and TBK are very likely for Lollapalooza, I say Radiohead is extermely less likely.

[nikolajz1]

I feel like it'd be silly to play Outside Lands especially with the two Oakland dates, but as long as they aren't at Lolla, I really don't care.

Of course, now I have a reason not to go to Outside Lands now.

[concertgoer]

Why not?

They never have before.

They won't play Outside Lands and Oakland

[MadBird11]

It's pretty idiotic to think that the Keys definitely won't be there. They're actually the band I'd bet the most on to headline at this point.

I don't want to rule Radiohead out just yet, but they've always been pretty unlikely, even with the touring gap.

[MadBird11]

They won't play Outside Lands and Oakland

Good.

[JML]

They never have before.

In 2010-11 both festivals had Arcade Fire and The Strokes within a year of each other, the only difference that time was Lolla got them before Coachella did. It's definitely possible.

That's assuming you count The Strokes as a Coachella headliner anyway. Even if you don't, the festivals seem to be getting more and more similar when it comes to headliners.

[ClearChannelMustDie]

Interesting Analysis. I am thinking that three shows in Texas right around the time of the ACL festival kills any chance for RHCP headlining ACL.

Arcade Fire was Coachella before Lolla 2010, Strokes were Coachella after Lolla. Completely Different

johnd is aiming to get ignored.

This was a few pages back but Theivery Corporation just OPENED for Cage the Elephant, no way their a sub.

Wow I can't believe how many of the shows are sold out. Anyway I think the only American festival that they will headline this year is Roo.

[concertgoer]

That's an odd pairing

[nikkirkpatrick]

i have a feeling i''ll be silent-disco-ing a lot at roo this year.

You should save your monies for Pitchfork or doublecoachella

[nikkirkpatrick]

You should save your monies for Pitchfork or doublecoachella

i went with a pretty solid group last year, and had an awesome experience (does smoking make you impervious to dust?). looks like it'll be an annual thing.

[JML]

Arcade Fire was Coachella before Lolla 2010, Strokes were Coachella after Lolla. Completely Different

Arcade Fire and The Strokes were at the same Coachella, which was Coachella 2011 (after Lolla).

[nikkirkpatrick]

and not applicable to the two fests sharing more than 1 headliner in a calendar year.

[carligula]

This was a few pages back but Theivery Corporation just OPENED for Cage the Elephant, no way their a sub.

Where was this? This is what it looks like in Chile and Brazil:

http://media.heavy.com/media/2011/11/lolla_2012.jpg

[JML]

and not applicable to the two fests sharing more than 1 headliner in a calendar year.

The calendar year thing is completely arbitrary and meaningless.

Same goes for the "Chicagopalooza hasn't repeated a #1 headliner" argument with regards to RHCP. There have been what, 7 #1 headliners? That's not exactly a big sample size.

[nikkirkpatrick]

The calendar year thing is completely arbitrary and meaningless.


'fest a will not share two headliners with fest b'

'fest b had two of fest a's headliners from the year before' has no relevance, not to mention the fact that no one considered the Strokes headliners.

[JML]

We're deviating from what my main point was.

The fact is that it's stupid if you think Lollapalooza can't have two of Coachella's headliners just because "it has never happened before". If C3 wants Radiohead and The Black Keys I don't see why Coachella would influence that one way or the other.

[carligula]

Interesting Analysis. I am thinking that three shows in Texas right around the time of the ACL festival kills any chance for RHCP headlining ACL.

Good point. Radiohead seems like a shoe in for that spot this year, right?

[WretchedSkye2113]

carl does have a valid point though-
lolla never has had a repeat #1 headliner. rh was #1 in 08 and they'd still be #1 in 2012.

radiohead will add a summer leg that includes a Chicago date sometime- or headline p4k (LOL)

edit: damnit carl. quit posting right before me and making my posts look irrelevant

[carligula]

If I put on a festival, I know I would do my best to see that #1 act was different every year. Granted, the pickins are getting pretty slim. Metallica is one of the few names that comes to mind.

[Thisismyname]

...Radiohead was never going to play Lolla this year. They've flat out said they try and not play the same festival on back to back albums, to not "overstay their welcome" or something of that sort.

[nikkirkpatrick]

does that apply to bonnaroo in 2012 as well?

[carligula]

They were only previewing In Rainbows at Roo 2006, right? I'm guessing they're okay with 6 years inbetween. Clearly, Roo isn't afraid to repeat headliners.

[nikkirkpatrick]

do i sense a panic in the air?

[concertgoer]

If I put on a festival, I know I would do my best to see that #1 act was different every year. Granted, the pickins are getting pretty slim. Metallica is one of the few names that comes to mind.

I was trying to think of some other somewhat realistic possibilities and all I could come up with is The Cure (longshot given Perry's recent comments),Black Sabbath and Bruce Springsteen and they are much older than past #1's. Hopefully we get the usual headliner leak next month.

[WretchedSkye2113]

do i sense a panic in the air?

fuck. i'm seeing Radiohead 3 times this year?

[MadBird11]

I mean, it'll be pretty hilarious if it's like Radiohead, Kanye, Cure after it's all said and done.

[Thisismyname]

They were only previewing In Rainbows at Roo 2006, right? I'm guessing they're okay with 6 years inbetween. Clearly, Roo isn't afraid to repeat headliners.

Yeah, I was never sure where Roo fell into that "rule".

Still don't think they are playing Roo. Coachella will be it, IMO. (well, maybe ACL)

[WretchedSkye2113]

I mean, it'll be pretty hilarious if it's like Radiohead, Kanye, Cure after it's all said and done.

throw bjork in there and we'll all die happy, amirite?

[nikkirkpatrick]

fuck. i'm seeing Radiohead 3 times this year?

no, you'll probably be seeing widespread panic once tho :/

[concertgoer]

fuck. i'm seeing Radiohead 3 times this year?

It would sure beat most of the realistic Saturday night headliner alternatives

[Thisismyname]

It would sure beat most of the realistic Saturday night headliner alternatives

I'm gonna assume you're assuming they won't be able to pull another "giant" act this year, cause there's plenty of those I'd take over Radiohead...

[MadBird11]

throw bjork in there and we'll all die happy, amirite?

God, could you imagine. Symb would even show up to it probably.

[WretchedSkye2113]

that wasn't a complaint, dear. :p

[concertgoer]

I'm gonna assume you're assuming they won't be able to pull another "giant" act this year, cause there's plenty of those I'd take over Radiohead...

Yeah that is my assumption

[concertgoer]

So I really think C3 is going to book another EDM headliner on the North Stage this year.

[MadBird11]

Do the D.A.N.C.E...

[WretchedSkye2113]

So I really think C3 is going to book another EDM headliner on the North Stage this year.

ya know, i'd be ok with that if it weren't fucking American dubstep, which brings in worse crowds than Enimem- and worse- doesn't keep them contained inside of Perry's tent all weekend.

[concertgoer]

Do the D.A.N.C.E...

Yeah either that or SHM I think.

[nikkirkpatrick]

SHM: Worse than Tiesto

[Thisismyname]

SHM: Worse than Tiesto

No.

[MadBird11]

SHM: Worse than Tiesto

It's close, but no. Plus, we can all get those Tiesto shirts Bryn posted a few pages back.

[nikkirkpatrick]

your post seems to argue with itself.

[Krentistthedentist]

Yeah either that or SHM I think.

SHM? More like SMH amirite

[Krentistthedentist]

do i sense a panic in the air?

Never going to happen.

[Krentistthedentist]

Also I am pretty sure Justice is not a headliner.

[MadBird11]

Also I am pretty sure Justice is not a headliner.

I think we said the same thing around this point in the year in regards to Kings of Leon and Phoenix.

Ultra headliner and third on their day at Coachella. They can headline the North stage.

[Krentistthedentist]

does conventional wisdom dictate that Ultra Headliners = Lolla headliners these days?

[concertgoer]

does conventional wisdom dictate that Ultra Headliners = Lolla headliners these days?

If it's for the last headliner spot then yes

[MadBird11]

Whoops, forgot KtD doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

[Caseysitsallgood]

does conventional wisdom dictate that Ultra Headliners = Lolla headliners these days?

well, Tiesto, mau5, Chemical Bros, Guetta...

yes.

[Krentistthedentist]

but if bands who are 2nd on their day at Coachella are smaller than bands who are 2nd on their day at Lolla, except for the strokes who were 2nd at both, how does it make sense for Justice to headline the north stage? Also, it's not like the new album did anything to up their status.

[nikkirkpatrick]

put justice on the main stage and 35000 pixie fucks will show up.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Also, it's not like the new album did anything to up their status.

this is probably the biggest thing. I thought I liked it until I listened to it again. ugh

so cute.=D being a douche doesn't change the fact that kanye is fucking awful.

[Krentistthedentist]

Out of curiosity, how many of the bands you listed do you actually like?

[biggiesmallzformayor]

well.. one... not saying I'd enjoy that lolla. It's just my prediction.

[Krentistthedentist]

Well, you probably still shouldn't be here since you actually are stupid enough to not only believe Kanye is awful (unforgivably stupid in and of itself), but that he'd be worse than most mainstream rap headliners.

[MadBird11]

I bet it's Blink.

[biggiesmallzformayor]

lol it's not that they'd be any better. It's that he's already headlined multiple times somewhat recently. sorry that i stomped all over ye. no idea this board had it hard for him. =(

[Krentistthedentist]
