It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[JML]

that's kind of early isn't it? at least compared to last year?

Last year we got the lineup the last week of April IIRC

[concertgoer]

that's kind of early isn't it? at least compared to last year?

Late compared to last year, but the lineup has been released in early April in previous years.

[askiba]

I made this terrible, unordered and sloppy fake line-up (http://imgur.com/VdLbF) because I hate humanity. Even left some question marks and low Sigur Ros in there

(also beastie boys was because I WANT TO BELIEVE)

[JML]

Yeah looks a little too unbelievable, mainly because it used the old website layout.

Also The Antlers/The Big Pink are on there twice. Not to mention the goofy billing order all around.

Nice effort though. I would be so ridiculously happy with a lineup that looked like that.

If it's any consolation, Perry might insinuate you have a small penis too.

[askiba]

TWO SETS? no I'm kidding, that was just more mistakes.

but if you're lazy and just want to copy and paste stuff around, I have made that slightly easier for everyone who wants to make a (better) fake lineup



If it's any consolation, Perry might insinuate you have a small penis too.

Anything for recognition

[WretchedSkye2113]

a very nice effort, askiba. :)
ordering is a little problematic (Radiohead is a #1 in almost any case of any festival nowadays), but still very cool.

what software did you use to edit it?
toss it on a new slate and see if you can't get some new rumors started.

[askiba]

Well, wretched, I literally copy-pasted the HTML from the 2010 lineup, changed it, and snapshotted it. So I could definitely fix my various errors, which I will probably attempt now.

EDIT: Actually, here, have a pastebin link. (http://pastebin.com/gJsTRB6W) Copy it, save it as an HMTL file, edit line by line until it's perfect. Go nuts, screenshot it, easy fake lineup. It's not perfect but I'll be damned if I want to spend all day in Photoshop moving text around

[WretchedSkye2113]

well that's just fucking fancy. :p
can it be done with other lineup sites or was it just the 2010 site where the html was this easy to work with?

[askiba]

You could do it with Bonnaroo, but it's more headache inducing. And maybe with Lollapalooza 2012, but am I the only who hates that font? It's awful and unreadable... the 2010 was so nice and clean.

Only way it could be better was if they used logos for the headliners instead of text (think Ultra- I think it looks nice.)

[JML]

I figured out how to do it with the 2011 webpage. I can probably make a fake lineup if nobody else wants to.

Ultra has the nicest of them all. Lolla's last year was god awful. Really dislike the website theme.

it was the 20th Anniversary, which I liked a lot, until the line-up came out and then it had nothing to do with it being the 20th Anniversary. made no sense at all.

[brynrich]

I was really feeling the black and silver theme they had going.

Then they circused it up...

[didyouseethe]

Yeah, I'm hoping the overall theme of the festival is better this time around. Last year's was ugly.

this is ridiculously ambiguous and meaningless, and i don't know what thread it goes in, but the The Pageant just tweeted
"Monday we've got an announcement for you from a band that hasn't been to STL since 2007 (to the best of our recollection)."

lots of lollabands (4-6 headliners and mid cards) play the Pageant in the summer before they hit lolla.

I highly doubt they would play the Pageant. They would do the VW Ampitheater, I would imagine.

Given their in-radius (and not sold out) shows at the United Center and in Indy, Grand Rapids, and Milwaukee, among others, absolutely.

[danzip53]

Indy isn't "in radius". Muse played like 2 days before lolla...also haven't we basically decided that the radius is bs?

[SecondSet]

Indy isn't "in radius".

Yes it is - http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2010/08/04/128982880/lollapalooza-undergoing-investigation-by-illinois-attorneygeneral.

It can be waived for an artist depending on various factors, but a big band playing multiple shows in the radius within the months leading up to the festival is not going to headline.

[JML]

but a big band playing multiple shows in the radius within the months leading up to the festival is not going to headline.

Didn't MMJ do that last year?

[SecondSet]

Didn't MMJ do that last year?

No. They played a 7000 capacity in Indy during Lolla, and, preceding it, a 4000 capacity in Chicago, and a 2500 in Milwaukee. Nothing like the multiple arena shows TBK are doing.

[concertgoer]

Radiohead played Indy two days after Lolla in 08 so yeah no.

[SecondSet]

Radiohead played Indy two days after Lolla in 08 so yeah no.

Routing a tour through Lolla is not the same thing. If there were no radius clause, there would be no State Attorney General investigation of the radius clause.

[MadBird11]

Are you familiar with how fucked up Illinois politics are?

[SecondSet]

Are you familiar with professional responsibility?

Every major festival has a radius clause. It may be the start of a conversation or negotiation, but it's real.

You disagree with actual facts; who's played, when they've played and how often they've broken the radius clause.

No, I'm merely reiterating a well-established and publicized rule. Pointing to selected exceptions to the rule (that have already been acknowledged by the persons imposing it) merely proves the point.

You aren't right simply because you would like to be.

Eminem
Muse
Foo Fighters
The Cure or Coldplay
Janes Addiction
Wilco
Chemical Brothers or Fat Boy Slim or Underworld
Arctic Monkeys
Beastie Boys
Talking Heads or The Smiths
The Black Keys

I know why you think they would do Comiskey (which also makes me think you are buzz), but they really don't have events like that there.
The last non-baseball event I heard about was some tea party shit

I saw Simon and Garfunkel at Comiskey in 1983.

And I don't think Second Set is buzz; second set is way more liberal and progressive than buzz.

[IAmScareMongering]

Which in his mind would make a good cover.

[WretchedSkye2113]

edit: weeeeeeeeee

[SecondSet]

I knew about it weeks ago.

[Krentistthedentist]

Knew about what?
The beat lab?

[WretchedSkye2113]

think he meant the Blur playing the Olympics thing.
i posted about it and then megaderped and edited it.

[SecondSet]

Yes. New Order and The Specials are on the bill as well.

[TheCountofMonteDisco]

talking out of thy ass again, aye?

[Krentistthedentist]

Arguing with yourself?
Weird

[nikkirkpatrick]

'cover'

[Isyourbedmade?]

Its been awhile, I forgot my password whatever so I made a new account. Sure I'm still gonna get ridicule and backlash but its cool

Here's what I think the lineup is gonna be

Metallica*RHCP*Blur*Beck*Rihanna*Sigur Ros

[WretchedSkye2113]

that's not a bad guess.
thinking [ok fine, hoping] that RHCP are out though.


Rihanna * Metallica * Blur
Beck * Sigur Ros * Swedish House Mafia

makes sense.

[Isyourbedmade?]

that's not a bad guess.
thinking [ok fine, hoping] that RHCP are out though.


Rihanna * Metallica * Blur
Beck * Sigur Ros * Swedish House Mafia

makes sense.

Rihanna billed first? Doubt that

[Nile19]

dunno if Sigur Ros would headline, but I would like it
and if Blur is there, I would be very very happy

[WretchedSkye2113]

Rihanna billed first? Doubt that

she's definitely top 3.
debatable between her, metallica and blur.

[didyouseethe]

Acceptable Top 6.

I would enjoy seeing that officially.

[Krentistthedentist]

Rihanna billed first? Doubt that

Seriously. Why is someone with 2 posts better at billing predictions than wretched?

[concertgoer]

Blur is not a south stage headliner. This isn't the UK.

[WretchedSkye2113]

lol. both of you.

[concertgoer]

You are seriously delusional if you think Blur would be a top three headliner at Lolla.

[WretchedSkye2113]

above Beck, Sigur Ros, and SHM?
hardly delusional.

[thombjorke.]

That top six is delusional.

[SecondSet]

Metallica*RHCP*Blur*Beck*Rihanna*Sigur Ros

Are you British? Because your lineup is (/Icelandic). Blur would not be a #3, and Rihanna would not be there at all, I don't think.

[SecondSet]

talking out of thy ass again, aye?

You obviously are

[concertgoer]

above Beck, Sigur Ros, and SHM?
hardly delusional.

Beck and SHM are bigger than Blur in America.

[Isyourbedmade?]

Are you British? Because your lineup is (/Icelandic). Blur would not be a #3, and Rihanna would not be there at all, I don't think.

Not British. Not delusional and didn't really put an order to it just thought it seemed plausible. I hope she won't be there but I couldn't think of a "pop/hip-hop" headliner that would fit (face it we aren't getting WTT) and she's headlining Summer Sonic. So that's how I cam up with her.

[MadBird11]

This is the first n00b that has made any sort of sense in this forum in a long time.

Oh.

Well, that would explain why I don't hate him.

Who did you use to be, mother's former catchphrase?

Rhinowing?

[WretchedSkye2113]

not enough references to drugs.

He hasn't been scalping tickets/saying the F word, so who knows.

[MadBird11]

You mean viagra?

[Isyourbedmade?]

Rhinowing?

One doesn't give away his past identity

[johnd12751]

Yes. New Order and The Specials are on the bill as well.

I would do a lot of things to see the Specials at Lolla. Not gonna happen though.

[MadBird11]

One doesn't give away his past identity

So that's a yes.

[thombjorke.]

I would do a lot of things to see the Specials at Lolla. Not gonna happen though.

Such as?

[MadBird11]

Don't get too excited. He'll just buy your ass if you show any interest at all.

[Isyourbedmade?]

So that's a yes.

It's a no

[Isyourbedmade?]

Metallica (at the drive-in)* RHCP (?)* Blur (Even tho I'd rather see them at p4k Pulp)* Beck (Jack White)*Rihanna (Passion Pit)* Sigur Ros (Even tho they most likely will play the grove... The Shins)

[thombjorke.]

lots of problems with that

[Isyourbedmade?]

lots of problems with that

agreed... work in progress

[thombjorke.]

most obvious problem is Jack White subbing for Beck, but I like your attitude

[Krentistthedentist]

You got some fuckin attitude

[johnd12751]

Bollapalooza

Beyonce* Beastie Boys * Black Keys
Blur * Beck * Bon Iver

Its funny cause all of them are slightly plausible

[Krentistthedentist]

Also funny since they all start with b!

[wiscostraightup]

Fuck it. I like this blur talk even though it'll never happen.
WTT ft. Beyonce*RHCP*Blur*
Wilco*Vampire Weekend*SHM

[johnd12751]

because i was bored

[Krentistthedentist]

Hey
make one with these bands


Kanye West & Jay-Z * Black Sabbath * Justin Timberlake * Iron Maiden
Beck * The Raconteurs * Blur
Slayer * Portishead * Elvis Costello * Faith No More * Franz Ferdinand

Thanks.

[johnd12751]

yeah ill do the lxlb poster. sign me up

[Krentistthedentist]

Oh really?
Cool, thanks.
Yours looks a bit more like some of the T-Shirts sold at the festival where the top bands get their own fonts, but usually the LxLB poster is more like the full lineup.
Do you know what I mean?

[johnd12751]

Ill do whatever, Ive personally liked festivals like Ultra's where the top few lines get their own font, then the lower lines are all the same. That's what I would plan on doing.

Alright, well if you need a frame of reference 2011 might be good since it has the top 4 on top and there's kind of a drop off after maiden

Sounds good, Itll be done by the end of the week, how should i get it to you?

[Krentistthedentist]

Just upload it as a jpg in the LxLB thread.
Be sure to include Perry's as well.
The billing in each subcategory in the LxLB lineup thread is obviously alphabetical, so feel free to mix those bands around but as a rule of thumb those categories are solid, so a 2pm/5pm band should probably not be billed about a 4pm/7pm band
Feel free to PM me with any questions you might have about it.
If you are uncomfortable with billing any of the lower tiers just PM me and I'll rank em for ya.

Also maybe shoot carl or symb a PM before you get started.

[SecondSet]

I see no good reason to think we aren't getting WTT, or to think that we are getting Rihanna before Jay.

I'm aware of Summer Sonic. Like Wireless, which she's headlining as well, it's an international festival - she's (of international origin and) bigger outside the US than in it. I concede she is an arena act here, though, and it's possible she could headline. Not a #1, though.

[SecondSet]

You really think C3's top 6 would start with B

No, see, that's why the word "plausible" was used. And my post had nothing to do with the alphabet.

[nikkirkpatrick]

I see no good reason to think we aren't getting WTT

what's one good reason you are?

[SecondSet]

what's one good reason you are?

It's the only one of the big 3 festivals in the US that Jay has not yet headlined.

[nikkirkpatrick]

that's dumb.

Jay-Z hasn't played Lollapalooza, so Watch the Throne is going to play!

Those Paris shows are going to feature lip-syncing celebrity impersonators, I guess.

[TheCountofMonteDisco]

Let us know when you figure out how tours and festivals work and stop thinking internet speculation means a tour is happening (that Sabbath/Metallica thing? lol). The WTT Paris (and other European) shows were actually scheduled, and then canceled.

Ummm... I'm well aware how these things work. Based on the things you've said today, much much more familiar than you.

It's kinda cute. Kinda like watching a baby learn stuff.

Neither of those acts are playing Lolla.
You can't back up anything you've said today with anything. Not proof. Not speculative evidence. Not knowledgeable experience. Nothing.

Actually you aren't at all, as indicated by the all the window dressing attacks you have to hang on your posts to make up for the lack of content. But I'm sure you still believe otherwise.

[SecondSet]

Apparently only a ticket sale was canceled, not the shows. Euro tour may be announced very soon.

In short order, you'll be exposed as the no-nothing troll that you actually are.
And don't worry... All these idiotic thoughts you are having about what you think you know will be the topic that will bring me great delight.... and most likely the reason you will leave and never come back.
