It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[El Goodo]

Jesus tittyfucking christ. You cannot be a real person.

JTFC.

[MadBird11]

On the bright side, we have a new board meme to run into the ground.

[El Goodo]

Who will ruin it first -- Madbird or Stupka?

[concertgoer]

And that's why this thread needs to not exist next year.

Or you could just ignore this thread like most regular boarders do.

[MadBird11]

I don't really use memes, so I'd go with Stupka.

[carligula]

Can you guys try to be a little bit more assholish towards courtneybjorn? I would appreciate it.

[MadBird11]

Or you could just ignore this thread like most regular boarders do.

It's sort of like the political thread: I keep checking it in the hopes that something intelligent was said, but I'm sorely disappointed every time.

[nanatod]

I mean, Friday, 2007.

deadmau5 was not precedent setting.

I thought Lady Gaga was Saturday, 2007, not Friday, 2007. Or at least, the show I saw her do on the BMI stage was on Saturday.

[carligula]

He was talking about Daft Punk headlining on Friday of 2007 and how it set the precedent for Deadmau5 headlining last year. Even though she played before, Lady Gaga set a precedent for headliners when she headlined in 2010.

[WretchedSkye2113]

On the bright side, we have a new board meme to run into the ground.

oh fuck you. that is not a new meme at all.
i've been using jtfc on here since i first joined.

[Krentistthedentist]

Can you guys try to be a little bit more assholish towards courtneybjorn? I would appreciate it.

To be clear, when I said she couldn't be a real human being, I was implying that she is an omniscient being.

[El Goodo]

OBILTTF.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Obligatory "but I love to titty fuck!"

?

[El Goodo]

Obligatory "but I love to titty fuck!"

?

Close, but no.


To be clear, when I said she couldn't be a real human being, I was implying that she is an omniscient being.



OBILTTF.

[WretchedSkye2113]

also, listening to David Cross say "titty fuck" in my head is almost as good as listening to Morgan Freeman say "titty sprinkles" in my head.

[El Goodo]

JSYK, David is in character (Todd Margaret) for this.

[Nile19]

new bloc party album this year!
Can they headline? Im thinking not but hopefully they will be there anyway!

[c1916]

No headline, but I'd be happy to see them at some point later this year.

[Miller]

He was talking about Daft Punk headlining on Friday of 2007 and how it set the precedent for Deadmau5 headlining last year. Even though she played before, Lady Gaga set a precedent for headliners when she headlined in 2010.

Which makes Ke$ha a viable option for C3, forever.

[Nile19]

Which makes Ke$ha a viable option for C3, forever.

I cannot abide this talk. I'm drawing a line in the sand dude.

[concertgoer]

Also she is nowhere near as big as Gaga
I really think Gaga was a one time thing.

[Miller]

Also she is nowhere near as big as Gaga
I really Gaga was a one time thing.

Deadmau5 is nowhere as big as Daft Punk. Size doesn't really matter when setting a precedent at the headliner level. But I think you're right about it being a one-time thing. I just want everyone to remember how bad it could conceivably be without drastically changing the identity of the fest.

[muthastone]

Rhcp
Radiohead
Bjork
Black keys
Lil wayne
Justice

[MadBird11]

In that order? Cause that's stupid if so.

[wiscostraightup]

Which makes Ke$ha a viable option for C3, forever.
I'd say Katy Perry is a much more viable option. Ke$ha doesn't have the popularity of gaga/perry or the "buzz" that deadmau5 had. katy on the on the other hand..
one can only hope that neither are being considered.

[Miller]

Ke$ha played Lollapalooza before she was huge. The same was true of Lady Gaga, which is how a lot of people justify her returning as a headliner. Katy Perry has never played Lolla, although if C3 really wants to go in that direction, her Warped Tour run probably gives her enough cred in the eyes of the people making that decision. I doubt either Ke$ha or Katy Perry would be booked, so it's a non-issue until we have evidence to the contrary.

My last three conversations in the Lineup forum have been about Dave Matthews Band, buttrock bands piggybacking a Metallica booking, and Ke$ha. I think I'm just gonna not post here for a while.

[MikeAugust]

Ke$ha could headline on Perry's.

[concertgoer]

Looks like Passion Pit is playing!

oh. joy.

[concertgoer]

I fixed the link

[Broc1123]

That's great news. But the link still doesn't take me to anything proving it. Just your post.

edit: nevermind i found the right post.

[Broc1123]

Passion Pit, M83, Florence, and hopefully the Cure as the first 4 bands that seem to be playing is unreal.

[Audiobully]

Yuck. Not the band though.

[concertgoer]

I know Drifty thinks Passion Pit will headline, but I think they will be a sub.

[Broc1123]

If they would have gotten an album out late last year or early this Spring they probably could.

But I agree with you, 75 minute sub before Black Keys hopefully.

[Broc1123]

They could close Perry's perhaps?

Their show would be a lot better in the dark.

[concertgoer]

Yeah their show would be better in the dark, but I am pretty sure they will be a sub.

[thombjorke.]

They could close Perry's perhaps?

Their show would be a lot better in the dark.

This seems like the best idea.

[Nile19]

I think no way PP headlines a main stage, I could see them as a sub, or headlining the groove or perrys before I could see them as a headliner

[MadBird11]

Sub into Tiesto/Justice.

[concertgoer]

That seems about right

[Nile19]

Sub into Tiesto/Justice.

I think the 3 possibilities for electronic/dance mainstage headliner are Justice, Swedish House, and Tiesto... I can't think of anyone else who is big enough (and Daft Punk does not count as a realistic guess)

[MadBird11]

Chemical Brothers, but they'll never play Lolla.

[muthastone]

In that order? Cause that's stupid if so.


Not in that order. I'm just thinking out loud. Obviously lil wayne would be on top ;)

[concertgoer]

Chemical Brothers, but they'll never play Lolla.

Why do you think that? They fucking played North Coast so they can't be that hard to book.

[mgignac]

Passion Pit, M83, Florence, and hopefully the Cure as the first 4 bands that seem to be playing is unreal.

Where's the hope for these coming from?

[Broc1123]

Well I guess Florence isn't as likely. But M83 is playing Summerstage in Central Park days following Lolla. The last couple years it has always been Lolla bands doing shows there around that weekend.

the Cure are playing MSG August 1st according to symb.

For the record I would be extremely happy for all of them (aside from PP) to get confirmed- its not out of hatred, its out of being skeptical. The Cure show doesn't mean a damn thing except that they'll be in the states and that Symb bringing it up has some relevance.

The M83 bit, I didn't know about, and am very happy to hear. Praying for a grove closing for them.

[wiscostraightup]

know how i know i have shit taste? the passion pit as a sub idea excites me.

I know the Cure playing MSG a couple days before Lolla doesn't confirm them. But it makes a lot of sense for them to play Lolla too, especially since they've only played LA and NYC recently.

[mgignac]

I know the Cure playing MSG a couple days before Lolla doesn't confirm them. But it makes a lot of sense for them to play Lolla too, especially since they've only played LA and NYC recently.

That's exactly what grounds them as just as likely as they've ever been for me, not any MORE likely. They only really play LA and NYC....why, when another show pops up for NYC, do people think they're hopping on a plane to Lollapalooza?

I'm not saying it's not going to happen and that everyone's stupid for thinking so, cause I'd really love for them to be there, I just don't really understand why- Symb's mention not included- this makes them any more likely to be Lolla-bound.

[wiscostraightup]

Self deprecation will get you far here but honesty with the acceptance of whoever hates you is more aesthetically appealing.

not trying to get far here. their music just isn't very good. lol but it's always a fun show/crowd.

[mgignac]

Every sweaty hipster that rubbed their naked back against me couldn't give me $100 each to make that a good show for me.

[JML]

why, when another show pops up for NYC, do people think they're hopping on a plane to Lollapalooza?

Because they're playing that NYC show a few days before Lolla and it's not like we have tons of potential headliners to pick from.

Still far from a lock

[wiscostraightup]

better than the awkward 40 year olds at bruce shows.
but i probably won't even be seeing passion pit as i have a feeling that them going in to a shitty edm act is going to be against the cure or somebody else with actual talent.

I will pump my fist in the air with every 40 year old in jean shorts and a Home Depot t-shirt that chooses to attend Bruce Springsteen with me, and we will bond and there will be much rejoicing.

btw for the record i would for sure be at bruce and who ever led into him over pp. i don't want it to seem like i think they actually have talent.lol it would just be a fun show to me.

[Broc1123]

Yeah there's just no way all 3 of those will sub in one year.

M83 or Passion Pit will close Perry's if they are all 3 playing.

[wiscostraightup]

irt to skye.
what if they all open for sabbath?

[WretchedSkye2113]

i drink A LOT.

i mean i love m83, but my hatred for the other 2 cancels it out.

His head is going to be incredibly sore if we keep this conversation going.

It would be an upgrade over the Cee-Lo/Ween day this year, but a big step down from Arctic Monkeys and A Perfect Circle.

[mgignac]

Ween was plenty of people's favorite sub, and rightfully so

[nikolajz1]

lol Ween

[WretchedSkye2113]

Ween was good drunk fun.
#bowiecovers

[Krentistthedentist]

I had a very good time at Ween.
That said, Arctic Monkeys were the best sub :)

Hi guys, I talked to the bass player for M83 after the show in Boston and he said they would be at Coachella and Lolla. And now we know he wasn't lying about Coachella. He's a 20-year-old kid, so take it for what it's worth.

[wiscostraightup]

this is most excellent news.

Look. I really want to believe you, but I need more information.

[jaredj]

I wouldn't believe me either. I wish I had gotten him to put it in writing.

[Krentistthedentist]

M83 might actually be one of the better bands playing this year.
Guess I'll check them out.

Ps they are going to win the survivor thread in case anyone was wndering

You go to both days of PJ20 or just the one?

I'm assuming you went at all based on that post. I was there for the first night.

Was my first PJ show, and I had to make the drive back for the next day which sucked cause they played most of my favorites night 2. But some of the gems during night 1, people had waited 20 years to hear...and I walked in and picked them up on my first show. Everything I saw that day fucking rocked.

[Krentistthedentist]

I did not make it in before Mudhoney either night.
Pearl Jam is my favorite band. It's always good when someone else likes them.
Basically, everyone on this board who does not like them is pretentious. Liking Pearl Jam is a good gauge of genuineness around these parts.

[WampireVeekend]

it'll prolly be the days after the lineup is announced. but if they do actually play, ill have tickets to see them in philly, nyc, and lolla. which ones do i sell/go to?

[mgignac]

Look at the venues and make up your own mind based on where you want to see them.

If The Cure gets booked it'd be cool to see them do "Wish". One of my favorite albums of theirs.

I tend to not like them in the way that most people do. Though I have seen a fair bit of love for Kiss Me on here and that'd be my other favorite.

Disintegration round out the top 3 for me and I don't think that's that weird at all.

this is wonderful.
i like that you did the top 4 instead of 3, as that may become a staple with these top-heavy lineups.

seeing qotsa, metallica, roots, throne, franz and cure might be on par with 2008's lineup.

I still don't see why people still bother speculating The Cure or The Chili Peppers, its not going to happen.

[claypoolfan]

That'd be fine, but I still don't think VW would be as high as #6

I'd argue more that The Weeknd and M83 aren't big enough to sub before I argued VW being #6...

But maybe I'd be wrong too.

[symbionese]

the weeknd are not going to sub. m83 could.

[MadBird11]

m83 is a Grove closer.

[mgignac]

If Weeknd plays he'll be a 4:30

[MadBird11]

No, I think LxLB has him pretty much spot on.

[MookieDaddy]

No, I think LxLB has him pretty much spot on.

Yup. Once again, the board is severely overestimating his popularity in the non-music discussion board world.

[mgignac]

Well I had my head bitten off yesterday for failing to realize that he had never NOT been "huge" so whatever

[Broc1123]

4:30 seems about right for The Weeknd.

Vampire Weekend can headline for sure.

I think they will be. But if not, I suppose the bet would be off.

I think they will be. But if not, I suppose the bet would be off.

Agreed, I bet VW will not headline a main stage, and I bet one beer, if you are 21 sir...

[claypoolfan]

Agreed, I bet VW will not headline a main stage, and I bet one beer, if you are 21 sir...

Tricky wording there, I'd add an "if they play" to that equation.

[Broc1123]

Agreed, I bet VW will not headline a main stage, and I bet one beer, if you are 21 sir...

I will not be by August. But I've heard Bonnaroo doesn't really care so if you end up going or volunteering then we can take care of this then assuming we get the Lolla schedule before Bonnaroo again this year.

[Nile19]

So now that Jack White has a solo album what are the chances he plays? I'll assume zero...but I can dream.

[pmo]

Are there any serious rumors or speculations for headliners this year? This is the first time I've been able to get on here and follow this year. I have heard Pearl Jam and Watch The Throne as being speculated. Any chance of Bruce?

[MadBird11]

Krentist alt.

[johnd12751]

my thought exactly

[El Goodo]

johnd, you are actually LX, right?

[Krentistthedentist]

my thought exactly

Well, I think this puts that rumor to rest.

[thombjorke.]

Yup. Once again, the board is severely overestimating his popularity in the non-music discussion board world.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that no one knows who he is in the real world. If anything maybe a few people know him as that guy on the Drake album but he definitely wouldn't have enough exposure to be a sub or anywhere near that.

[jcfrank2]

So now that Jack White has a solo album what are the chances he plays? I'll assume zero...but I can dream.

This is the headliner speculation thread. Try heading to the non-headliner speculation thread.

[sleeping]

I have a weird feeling that Marilyn Manson will be a headliner this year. They're doing a bunch of European fests in advance of the next album coming out, but were just announced as a headliner at Rock on the Range (May 18-20 in Columbus, OH). I've had a theory about them for awhile (they were one of the 3 bands picked to headlined Lolla '98 before it was cancelled, and both of the others -- NIN and Green Day -- have since headlined Chicagopalooza).
I'd be interested, anyway.

[symbionese]

while picked, they never accepted.

[sleeping]

while picked, they never accepted.
Neither of the other two did either: Green Day did a headlining tour that summer, and NIN wanted to finish the Fragile album before doing any shows.

Have Rock on the Range and Lollapalooza ever shared a headliner?

[carligula]

In scanning past lineups, I do see that A Perfect Circle played both last year.

[carligula]

I think Incubus would be the more likely shared headliner.

[Nile19]

I think Incubus would be the more likely shared headliner.

Would they headline or sub?

[JML]

I really don't want Incubus or Marilyn Manson.

[sleeping]

No Jane's.

The band is focused entirely on this theater concept, to the point Farrell says they're skipping the American festival circuit this summer, including Lollapalooza in Chicago, which he founded. "We're not gonna play it, but that's not to say that we won't be in Chicago," he says. The band will, however, be at the debut of Lollapalooza Brazil in April. "I like the idea of christening the place, 'cause Jane's christened Lolla, so I just kind of feel like it's a goodwill gesture." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/perry-farrell-janes-addiction-tour-inspired-by-boardwalk-empire-era-20120131#ixzz1l99PTS3m

Whew.

I doubt that either will be at Lolla

[hbankhead]

I can see incubus being a Lolla. They fit the watered down vibe.

Like they did in 2003?

[carligula]

Would they headline or sub?

Based solely on their billing over Zombie and Manson, I would predict a North stage headlining spot. Maybe against JayYe.

[didyouseethe]

Like they did in 2003?

I just got shivers thinking about the Tweeter Center...haven't been back since.

[Krentistthedentist]

Excellent

Oh man. With the way this fest is going, I would almost be grateful for JA

[nikolajz1]

That's the sad thing for sure.

[hbankhead]

Like they did in 2003?

I would be surprised if they weren't there then.

[carligula]

Metallica vs. Vampire Weekend
JayYe vs. Incubus
Black Keys vs. Justice

[concertgoer]

That's the sad thing for sure.

I would take five out of the six headliners last year over Janes.

[symbionese]

No Jane's.

more money for skrillex.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Rihanna.

nah, she's an actor now. but that Battleship movie looks awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwful

[Broc1123]

According to my friend who loves Skrillex and went to New Trier where all they care about is EDM, "everyone is over Skrillex"

[symbionese]

trickle down.

[emitts]

I think this is likely, if they play Lolla. However, APC headlined their day at Rock on the Range last year, and were a sub at Lolla, so I could see Incubus being just as likely a sub.

i can see Incubus playing main stage at 6 before RHCP.

[muthastone]

also where is a link stating that the Cure is playing in NY a week before lolla?

Good call. They were tops at RotR overall last year and 7th at Lolla. Incubus is billed beneath Skrillex and Mac Miller at Bamboozle, which is a good case for them being a subheadliner if they play.

[concertgoer]

No, the guy he idolizes.

I'd be a lot more embarrassed by finding a madbird post funny but ok.

i could see why it wouldn't work for you -- because unlike you, i was actually accepted to the schools i applied to...

I think Incubus just got a raw deal at Bamboozle. Skrillex got bumped to top billing over Blink-182. The guy who created Bamboozle said something about it having to do with Skrillex being a returning act, I guess? AbsolutePunk blew up over it. Mac Miller is the highest billed hip-hop artist on the bill, and I think his promotion to headliner is just for the sake of *ahem* diversity.

I'd still put Incubus at low-level headliner status for Lolla, but high sub is certainly possible.

[Krentistthedentist]

Let's keep Incubus, and any band Garpo likes for that matter, the fuck out of grant park.

[hbankhead]

do you have a link?

[MadBird11]

Be warned, Krentist doesn't fight fair.

[wiscostraightup]

do you have a link?

No. You're not going to any part of the Internet my mother goes to. They'd also probably ban you once they found out you have functioning legs. Very leet threadz.

Probz. Or the the muse fan site. I don't recall. Just just google wiscostraightup' mom. Tell me the results.

Just just google wiscostraightup' mom. Tell me the results.

already did a search. unfortunately for you, it didn't involve google.

Oh I see. Either the pronz or super hacker. Beep boop beep ddos hacks.

[Audiobully]

Just got the list of available bands for Labor Day weekend in Rockford, IL and based on the past three years, all bands on the list are available because they aren't playing Palooza.

I'll post all the bands later tonight but the acts that caught my eye include: Drake, Queens Of The Stone Age and Warrant.

[MadBird11]

2/3 of those ktd probably won't be happy about. The other is Warrant.

No QoTSA :(

[Krentistthedentist]

What a bunch of literal boners.
And yeah, kind of sad about Queens and Drizzzaayyy

[Krentistthedentist]

Be warned, Krentist doesn't fight fair.

People with poor survival instincts deserve to lose.

[mgignac]

Surprised about Drake. Mad about Queens.

Ye or WTT could be the hip hop headliner :)

[WretchedSkye2113]

meh, we've been expecting QotSA at every festival for the past 4 years and it hasn't happened.
lack of surprise.

does give more doubt- not a lot, though- to Sabbath playing a major.

and agree with cg, this is good news for wtt.

[nikolajz1]

Ye or WTT could be the hip hop headliner :)

WTT would be insane at a festival. Really hope it happens.

[MadBird11]

If it were going to happen somewhere, this would be it.

[wiscostraightup]

Imagine wtt and the cure.. would that be enough to forgive c3 for last year?

[MadBird11]

No, but it's a pretty good start.

[concertgoer]

Prediction Madbird will shit on the Lolla lineup regardless of who they book;)

[WretchedSkye2113]

Prediction: everyone but CG, Wretched, Niko, and one new guy will shit on the Lolla lineup regardless of who they book;).

[nikolajz1]

basically haha

2011 was the only year I've ever shat on a Lolla lineup, though.

That doesn't matter Madbird, you're obviously just here to shit on everyone's good time and call Perry a fuck'n fairy.

Perry a fuck'n fairy.
