It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[ironmonkey]

I'm genuinely suprised we don't have more of a idea of who's playing....I keep seeing a lot of the same names getting kicked around, but no real concrete evidence.

[Krentistthedentist]

Glitterbacon is fucked if this proves to be false.

[glitterbacon]

And he said it would be a big headliner. Not many really fit that category.

Guetta/Justice/SHM/Chemical Brothers/Tiesto/Daft Punk (not gonna happen)

Guys for clarification I am a chick.

Glitterbacon is fucked if this proves to be false.

I am aware, but this is what I heard.

[Broc1123]

Thanks, thombjorke.

I guess I've gotta believe that.

I think we're in for a 2009-esque year as far as the first few lines go. Which I can definitely live with.

[thombjorke.]

And he said it would be a big headliner. Not many really fit that category.

Guetta/Justice/SHM/Chemical Brothers/Tiesto/Daft Punk (not gonna happen)

Should we consider Avicii as well? He's really on the rise and he already plays arenas and headlines some festivals.

[concertgoer]

If it's TBK vs Justice I might have to go with Justice.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i'm feeling really certain that TBK is a 3 at this point and that Beck is a 4.
historical conflicts show that these two should be against each other this year.

i will be so happy to see Beck.
and then the #1 and #2. which is hopefully something nice and rawklike (that isn't RHCP) and something poppy but not shitty like Gaga or Em.


#2cents

[WampireVeekend]

I cannot see The Black Keys closing the south stage on Sunday. They are either south stage on Friday (against the rumored EDM headliner) or North on Sunday imo.

[thombjorke.]

Yeah sorry Wretched but I don't think that your TBK vs Beck dream is likely at all.

[MadBird11]

If it's TBK vs Justice I might have to go with Justice.

I think so too.

But Beck trumps both of those if he's playing as well.

#conflictapalooza

[WretchedSkye2113]

Yeah sorry Wretched but I don't think that your TBK vs Beck dream is likely at all.

putting them against the likes of Bon Iver or SHM (if those were #5 and 6, let's say) doesn't make much sense as far as conflicting crowds go.
and they're too big to go against Throne or Metallica.

TBK on the South and Beck on the North seems like a good crowd splitting decision.

[Krentistthedentist]

How could you guys not tell glitterbacon was a girl?
She unironically uses exclamation points, for fuck's sake.

[Isyourbedmade?]

So is Radiohead 100% out of the running? Just give it to me straight :/

[glitterbacon]

Should we consider Avicii as well? He's really on the rise and he already plays arenas and headlines some festivals.

I don't see why not. No conflicting tour dates so far, no radius clause violation. No dates past june announced at all yet.

[glitterbacon]

Thanks krentist lol

[WretchedSkye2113]

yep.
they'd be a #1 headliner and are now playing in Chicago in June.
ain't no way they're playing.

[Krentistthedentist]

Yes.
Dance for joy

Not really sure a TBK vs. Beck day would sell out. And why don't you think TBK vs. SHM would make sense as far as conflicting crowds is concerned?

[WretchedSkye2113]

Not really sure a TBK vs. Beck day would sell out. And why don't you think TBK vs. SHM would make sense as far as conflicting crowds?

...joke about bro's.


and TBK can sell out a day pretty easily. especially if they have a decent undercard that day (Florence or something subbing)
and i know Beck isn't huge, but don't underestimate his worth, especially when his appearance would be exclusive to Lolla and Sasquatch (as far as we know)

[thombjorke.]

TBK bros and SHM bros are very different for the most part

[WretchedSkye2113]

though i do agree that

TBK v Beck

is certainly smaller than other 3 v 4's like

CP v Muse
Killers v JA
NIN v Yeezy

[sleeping]

Governor's Ball

[SecondSet]

And Governors Ball. And his non-festival dates.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Governor's Ball

oh i keep forgetting about that thing.

ok fine, 3 appearances. still exclusivish, yeah?

[WampireVeekend]

The Black Keys vs SHM/Other EDM
WTT/Kanye/JayZ/Lil Wayne/Other Pop Act vs Beck
Metallica/Black Sabbath vs Bon Iver/Florence + the Machine

I think it'll be something like this.

[Broc1123]

Shins gotta be subbing for the Keys.

[SecondSet]

oh i keep forgetting about that thing.

ok fine, 3 appearances. still exclusivish, yeah?

He has two additional West Coast dates around Sasquatch. I don't know why it's assumed he won't be adding more between that and the East Coast.

[sleeping]

Shins gotta be subbing for the Keys.
Probably, but they'd make sense as a Beck sub, too.

[WretchedSkye2113]

He has two additional West Coast dates around Sasquatch. I don't know why it's assumed he won't be adding more between that and the East Coast.

because i didn't know these were happening :D
my b.

[ironmonkey]

Just so we are clear...all these lineups and headliners are guesses pulled from your asses??? or do we have some sort of reason, other than wishes, for these names to keep coming up?

[WretchedSkye2113]

if you look around this thread, you'll find posts saying

TBK has been claimed as confirmed,
as has one "major EDM headliner."

The TBK part is for real. This boarders friend sucked some security guard's d so he could talk to Dan and confirm it.

something wrong with asking for people to show their work? I just haven't seen any solid reasons why the names getting thrown around are getting thrown around.

*giggling* I think that if you TBK with The Shins as a sub that's strong toward a sell out day. (FTR, I think TBK are boring as hell live).

[Krentistthedentist]

For real.
"I can't read so you guys must be talking out of your asses!"

[concertgoer]

At least some of the bands that we have been talking about have shows in Toronto either before or during Lolla weekend so it's not like we are totally in the dark.

I have read the past dozen pages which is why I'm asking....I keep seeing the same bands getting brought up and I'm asking why these bands as opposed to others. I dont' think it's a dick question....just wondering.

thanks for an answer that makes sense.....

[munkivelli]

I understand most of the acts being mentioned, but do we have a reason that we are discussing the Throne as a real possibility, or is that just wishful thinking on everyone's part?

[concertgoer]

A combination of wishful thinking and the fact that they are least playing shows this summer.

[nikkirkpatrick]

how much were tickets the first go round?

[thombjorke.]

Too much.

[concertgoer]

how much were tickets the first go round?

I think they ranged from 50-250

[concertgoer]

Too much.

It was well worth the $100 bucks

[thombjorke.]

It was well worth the $100 bucks

Not if you were all way in the fucking top back corner.

I guess I lucked out. My seat was really close to the second stage.

[thombjorke.]

I guess I lucked out. My seat was really close to the second stage.

I didn't go because all my friends didn't want to pay that much to go.

The Miami show had $75 tickets as its cheapest, and there were only a miniscule amount of them in the absolute farthest sections or in the obstructed view parts. The rest of the 400s were somewhere in the $100-150 range.

[nikkirkpatrick]

so a ticket to the throne could've cost as much as the most expensive 3-day pass lolla will sell?

book it.

I don't really remember but I remember it being expensive too, although I do remember the prices not being exactly the same.

i predict the edm headliner will be billed 5th.

Seether released a remix dub step album recently. Maybe they are the EDM headliner?

IP ban please. Lulz at the idea of Lolla getting Bjork, The Cure, Blur, Stone Roses, Portishead and Underworld. Far too much #foreginrare

[thombjorke.]

LOL at the idea of Lolla getting one of those.

[Neader]

Is The Cure really that outlandish?

[MadBird11]

Have you heard Perry talk recently?

[Neader]

Nope.

[thombjorke.]

All of them are theoretically possible, but it's unlikely they'll be there. MAYBE we'll get one but definitely not more than one. No one should get any hopes up.

[MadBird11]

Well if you did, you would know that he basically said they were old and nobody wanted to see them anymore.

[Neader]

Perry's stupid.

[MadBird11]

IP ban.

Nobody can say anything bad about Perry.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Perry's stupid.

by jove i think he's got it!

[Neader]

Perry has ants in his pants.

[concertgoer]

Well if you did, you would know that he basically said they were old and nobody wanted to see them anymore.

Yeah but Perry isn't booking anything besides teh untz untz headliner.

[WretchedSkye2113]

so not to bark up this tree again, but-

given what we've discussed about Sabbath and Metallica so far,
i think i'm still leaning towards Sabbath playing because

C3 is clearly still deliberating on something and keeping everything hush, meaning that BS isn't necessarily out yet,
we know that Sabbath is still doing (at least one) Sabbath shows this year among the Ozzy & friends tour at Download,
and Sharon, if she's to be believed (she isn't), did use the words "Black Sabbath" when she spilled the rumor about the August show.

so maybe that "B" fest idea wasn't such a bad idea.

Black Sabbath * pop headliner * Black Keys
Beck * edm headliner * Bon Iver

[arbee]

woof woof

[Krentistthedentist]

FYI, in case this looks familiar, this is the same IP address as that Petrus1970 character.

show em where that dick goes

[mgignac]

The Throne + Black Sabbath + The Black Keys
Jack White + Death Cab for Cutie + Beck

Yeah I know DCFC theater shows in April but just who the fuck even cares anymore.

[Broc1123]

There's already so many rumored acts to headline, no reason to add another candidate.

I really like Wretched's thought process for this. Except I don't think Bon Iver would be billed 6th. What about your thing but with Florence at 6th?

[SecondSet]

Black Sabbath + Metallica playing The Black Album + Jay-Z playing The Black Album
The Black Keys + Jack White + Black Star

[concertgoer]

Maybe Bon Iver doesn't play Lolla or Pitchfork? He hasn't announced any shows in North America in July or August yet.

[Mike53421]

Waiting for some totally out of left field headliner that none of us even thought about speculating... like... uhh...

[SecondSet]

Ozzy and Friends + Kelly Clarkson feat. Kelly Osbourne + Jack White feat. Jack Osbourne
Ozzie Guillen and Friends + Elmo and Friends feat. Jason Segel, Swedish Chef Mafia, and Fozzy Bear + Bonnie Bear

in Perry's: Sharon van Etten feat. Sharon Osbourne

[WretchedSkye2113]

I really like Wretched's thought process for this. Except I don't think Bon Iver would be billed 6th. What about your thing but with Florence at 6th?

i'm not sold on Florence as a #6 headliner.
possible, but not as probable as Bon Iver, who has become some sort of champion of p4k indie music.

but cg is right to say that we don't have any evidence for iver except that he's not at p4k chicago like we all expected.

[johnd12751]

Lol Colorpalooza

Pink Floyd * Black Sabbath * White Stripes
Red Hot Chili Peppers * Green Day * Maroon 5

[concertgoer]

Florence is playing some big venues in July and August so I wouldn't be surprised at all if she was the #6 headliner.

[concertgoer]

So Justice is playing Red Rocks on August 7th so I think they will play Lolla on Sunday. Toronto>Chicago>Denver makes more sense than Chicago>Toronto>Denver. So if they are on Sunday that means they are playing Perry's since gliterbacon's source says that EDM headliner is playing Friday.

[Broc1123]

Yeah that makes sense.

[WretchedSkye2113]

David Guetta * Justice * Bassnectar at Perry's then?

[concertgoer]

Especially if they play Oshega. They could go Montreal>Toronto> Chicago> Denver

[concertgoer]

David Guetta * Justice * Bassnectar at Perry's then?

If we get SHM on the north field the Perry's headliner that night will not be an edm act. Maybe Odd Future?

[MadBird11]

Odd Future closing Perry's actually makes a shit ton of sense.

[Driftwood]

Wold someone affiliated with Ultra be dumb enough to consider Passion Pit a big EDM act?

[thombjorke.]

David Guetta is too big for Perry's.

[thombjorke.]

Wold someone affiliated with Ultra be dumb enough to consider Passion Pit a big EDM act?

Well Passion Pit has played at Ultra...
But he said someone "comparable to Deadmau5", so he probably meant a DJ.

[concertgoer]

David Guetta is too big for Perry's.

I am not sure about that

[concertgoer]

Wold someone affiliated with Ultra be dumb enough to consider Passion Pit a big EDM act?

Is Passion Pit too big to be the non-edm headliner at Perrys?

[thombjorke.]

Is Passion Pit too big to be the non-edm headliner at Perrys?

You think Passion Pit is bigger than David Guetta?

[muthastone]

My guess for Friday is TBK vs SHM vs m83 vs Odd Future

[WretchedSkye2113]

tbk vs shm would be so freaking blah.
also means beck vs probably someone awesome, which would kill me.

[Isyourbedmade?]

Odd Future closing Perry's actually makes a shit ton of sense.

Easier job for the clean up crew to take down the tent

[SecondSet]

I'm thinking things will shake out like this:
Friday - Swedish House Mafia vs. Jack White (or The Black Keys or maybe Beck)
Saturday - Watch the Throne vs. Wilco (or Jack White or Sigur Ros)
Sunday - Pearl Jam (or Metallica or RHCP) vs. Sigur Ros (or Bon Iver or maybe Beck)

[thombjorke.]

I disagree with many parts of your prediction but I do think that Pearl Jam should be considered more than they have been recently.

If RHCP can be a repeat #1 why can't they? It's been 5 years and they have a new album coming out and are playing festivals.

[IAmScareMongering]

Not if you were all way in the fucking top back corner.

I was way up in the fucking top back corner, and it was fantastic.

man that would be great if Pearl Jam were there. No dates after July 10th. Maybe they come back do a east coast/midwest tour

[Krentistthedentist]

Pearl Jam was just here like 6 months ago :\

[thombjorke.]

RHCP and the Black Keys will have been there sooner.

Throne was also in Chicago recently.

[muthastone]

Yeah only that Alpine weekend though, no US tour.

[concertgoer]

With the typical Lolla audience maybe?

[Greg Nasty]

I think the typical Lolla audience is pretty much, "WOOOO! SEXY BITCH!" these days.

[thombjorke.]

I guess.
Why do we think RHCP will be there?

I'm not saying that I think they'll be there but they've been rumored for months so I just think that it's strange that Pearl Jam hasn't been rumored more.

[carligula]

I guess.
Why do we think RHCP will be there?

When RHCP announced make-up shows in CA in August between overseas legs they assumed it was because they had to come back to the states for Lolla. And the tour is booked by C3. I never believed it. They're a lock for ACL, though (unless they booked more shows I didn't know about)

[thombjorke.]

With the typical Lolla audience maybe?

Passion Pit isn't really typical alternative rock in the "Lolla tradition" IMO.

[pieman27]

I don't think RHCP would be #1, they are certainly not bigger than Greenday was 2 years ago or Muse last year. I see them as a solid saturday night act. Perhaps Beck Friday, RHCP Saturday, TBK Sunday ? Not sure they would have them close the weekend since they just played, but I don't see RHCP closing either.

[thombjorke.]

LOL at thinking that Muse is bigger than RHCP in America.

[SecondSet]

Perhaps Beck Friday, RHCP Saturday, TBK Sunday ?

Beck is not a topline headliner, and if TBK are playing, they'll be Friday vs. SHM.

[sleeping]

LOL at thinking that Muse is bigger than RHCP in America.
More famous? LOL indeed. But bigger with the kiddies? Absolutely.

[Willy]

LOL at thinking that Muse is bigger than RHCP in America.

If RHCP is there they will be Sunday night no doubt. Foo last year Soungarden the year before undoubtedly will be something like RHCP Sunday night.

[concertgoer]

RHCP has sold out almost every venue on their upcoming tour. I don' think Muse did that in America in 2010.

[here'slala]

More famous? LOL indeed. But bigger with the kiddies? Absolutely.

Do you mean the Twilight thing? Gotta admit, I was floored that Muse was the most popular act at Outside Lands. They blew Arcade Fire's crowd away and a lot of the crowd consisted of teenage girls who exited after Supermassive Black Hole.

[MadBird11]

Fuck Muse. Why is Muse being talked about again?

[thombjorke.]

More famous? LOL indeed. But bigger with the kiddies? Absolutely.

Seeing as I'm probably more of a "kiddie" than most people on this board, I can say that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are in fact bigger with the kids. More people are going to the upcoming RHCP concert here than any concert I can remember over the past few years. They might be older but they are still beloved by teenagers.

[austincarstens]

Fuck Muse.

agreed.

[thombjorke.]

Fuck Muse. Why is Muse being talked about again?

Some dude said that Muse is bigger than RHCP in America.

[MadBird11]

That's stupid.

Muse is one of the few bands I honestly have no fucking idea how anyone likes them, especially enough where they could headline Lollapalooza. Twice.

And while the Chilis are at least 14 years past their prime (and depending on argument, longer), they will sell out every venue they play in America, which Muse could not.

Did Muse sell out almost every arena on their 2010 American tour?

[thombjorke.]

Muse is more popular than RHCP right now.

RHCP is selling out pretty much every venue on its extensive tour with ease. Their records have always and still do sell better. They are billed higher on festivals. IDK how you can argue against that.

[MadBird11]

Broc must be a teenage girl and/or a fan of Twilight.

Nah, I still think they draw most of their support from the bros that went to California once.

[Broc1123]

Maybe you guys are right. I just feel like Muse is huge. The last RHCP album had no hits.

[MadBird11]

The last RHCP was awful. And the one before that. And the one before that.

[ironmonkey]

Maybe you guys are right. I just feel like Muse is huge. The last RHCP album had no hits.

but you could probably ask Joe Festivalgoer to name 5 Chili Pepper songs and they could, but couldn't name 5 Muse songs. The chili's have quite a legacy, almost classic rock status now.

[concertgoer]

Maybe you guys are right. I just feel like Muse is huge. The last RHCP album had no hits.

I mean RCHP suck, but people are letting their hatred of them cloud their judgement. They are bigger than Muse in America.
End of story.

Read it as an exaggeration, and then thought about it and sadly you're right.

[Greg Nasty]

Well, that settles it.

Ugh, don't type to me that way.

[pieman27]

I would say the last decent RHCP album was one hot minute. I have a soundboard recording of their Reading 94 set and it was solid.

[mgignac]

Well, that settles it.

Californication, Scar Tissue, and Otherside were everywhere.

By the Way and Can't Stop were everywhere.

Dani California was everywhere.

Is it though? It didn't even come out a year ago, they're one of the biggest American band names in the country (for better or for worse), and their songs haven't even reached a lot of people. How many people have never heard any of the songs I listed before? If you were basically outdoors between 98-07, you've heard one if not all.

It's a perfectly good argument in my opinion.

your use of examples and facts played a part....I guess one guy declaring they aren't hits is more opinion.

I would print out the lineup just to throw up on it.

EDIT: Headliner-wise. Honestly I could probably do that fest daily for everyone below 1-6. I was being restless and irresponsible.

EDIT: Just read it again; nope I was right the first time.

I can certify right now that the lineup is bunk.
A few things

Gotye is too low
A$AP is playing pitchfork
Hope this helps

[mgignac]

Serious question would Beyonce really get billed behind TBK?

[muthastone]

wheres Justice?

[Krentistthedentist]

Also that's a good lineup, so that's the third reason it's fake.

I'd be satisfied...
Mogwai! :D
I heard Gotye was booked completely...
I'm a bit shocked at the lack of all things Red, hot, and having to do with peppers in the chili group...

[Krentistthedentist]

4th reason
Too many broads headlining. Lollapalooza is a white heterosexual male's game.

[Broc1123]

Yeah that lineup is too good to be true.

[concertgoer]

What is Darius Rucker doing on that lineup?

[johnd12751]

so hows this fellas:

The Black Keys vs SHM vs M83 vs Wiz Khalifa
Pearl Jam* vs Beck vs Silversun Pickups vs AVICII
Watch the Throne (or Kanye) vs Blur** vs The xx vs Justice

* Or Sabbath, Metallica, or RHCP
** More of a fill-in, could be Blur, Bon Iver, Jack White, Wilco, Etc.

Also really want to believe that obviously fake line-up.

And 100 fake line-ups were made since. :/

[wiscostraightup]

Hey guys, maybe wait for new info before making the one thousandth fake.

Nope. gotta keep posting stupid lineups. all day.

[ferro_man]

I know this was talked about a little while ago but here are my thoughts:

1) I don't know about a "shitty" edm headliner, but I am pretty confident there will be an EDM headliner and here is why:

My friend studies music tech at university of Miami (the one actually in florida, not ohio) and he met a promoter for ultra the other day (not sure the context of the meeting, I think it was for a class maybe). So my friend is chatting up the promoter about what he does and how he gets people to play at ultra, and my friend tries to turn the conversation to lolla headliners. The promoter says he knows them all but he can't tell, BUT to count on a big, really good EDM headliner on friday, comparable to deadmau5 (disagree if you must about the "really good" part). My friend asks if its going to be daft punk, and the promoter says no, they're not playing ANYTHING until they finish their new album, release it, and tour for it. I think you guys already ruled them out, but here's more evidence I guess. BUT. I think this means that shitty or not, EDM headliner on friday is credible.

Also, tbk seems nearly inevitable at this point

2) I agree

so EDM vs TBK on friday with odd future at perry's?

[mgignac]

The "really big" EDM could have just been a reference to Justice by a guy with good taste, and didn't someone sort of figure out their scheduling made since for Perry's? Other than that, who's even "really big" and considered to be "really good"? Aviici?

Don't start your SHM shit with me.

[Caseysitsallgood]

what the hell does EDM even stand for?

[thelastonealive]

what the hell does EDM even stand for?

Edmonton. It's got a hell of a techno scene from what I understand.

[sleeping]

what the hell does EDM even stand for?
Embarassing Douchebag Music

[brynrich]

Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy

[mgignac]

SHM stands for the Society of Hospital Medicine; we're terrified that their travelling informational booth with be Lolla's first headlining info session as opposed to live music act.

[fan o gano]

EDM headliners are the ones that are Electric Dancing Machines.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy

wait, um... without looking this up (honestly):

a degenerative brain disorder where something happens with the nerves around/to the brain? with horse(s), of course.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Edmonton. It's got a hell of a techno scene from what I understand.

definitely feel like I've seen this on ESPN, so ok.

[alady]

I feel like that fake lineup could be real.

[Krentistthedentist]

Beck and BJORK?
Fuggidaboutit

[Driftwood]

I feel like that fake lineup could be real.

ASAP Rocky playing both fests?

[brynrich]

I feel like that fake lineup could be real.

I wish...

[Driftwood]

Actually that line-up is really boring except for the headliners and relatively stacked subs.

[Caseysitsallgood]

I wish...

me too

[IAmScareMongering]

[nikolajz1]

agreed. boring mid card like usual for lolla

[concertgoer]

No way do Beyonce, Bjork and No Doubt all headline in the same year. That's way too many broad headliners for Lolla. Also Miike Snow and Gotye would be higher.

[ironmonkey]

What is Darius Rucker doing on that lineup?

this.

[carligula]

wait, um... without looking this up (honestly):

a degenerative brain disorder where something happens with the nerves around/to the brain? with horse(s), of course.

When you see "equine", you should think "cauda equina" which roughly translates to "horse tail". It's the name given to the free nerve endings at the base of the spine that are not wrapped by a protective outer coating. These are the nerve endings that must be avoided when collecting spinal fluid (aka a "spinal tap"). The prefix Myelo- either refers to the myelin sheath which covers the axons of most projection neurons or the new Coldplay album. And encephalo usually means fluid build-up/swelling. So, I'm going to guess that Equine Degenerative Myeloencephalopathy refers to some sort of swelling of the myelin sheath around the caudal region of the spinal cord.

[carligula]

Well, I was wrong. It actually happens in horses. Has nothing to do with the cauda equina.

[concertgoer]

If this actually was the lineup I think the headliner and subs would breakdown like this.

(The Shins) The Black Keys vs (Sigur Ros) Bjork
(Florence) Beyonce vs (Bon Iver) Beck
(Passion Pit) No Doubt vs (ATDI) Metallica

Replace Blur with RHCP and Pearl Jam with Metallica. Or something.

[symbionese]

would that ensure your make believe attendance?

[sonickteam]

Without reading 575 pages of posts....am i correct in assuming that no one has ANY real evidence that Beck may be playing at Lolla other than that he is playing two other festivals this year?

also, i think the Shins would headline north stage if they play. hopefully against RHCP.

ok! just checking! I'm all in regardless. I'd prefer not to have to spend a day in NYC at some questionably run festival just to see Beck.

[symbionese]

c'mon now... you're from baltimore.
