It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[Nile19]

Sigur Ros would for sure be a sub, right? They're way too unknown here. If so, would they sub Bjork?

I hope so! Lolla Iceland 2012.

[Nile19]

Bjork seems more possible the more I think about it , she is in Hungry at Balaton Sound Fest July 25, then her next date is Aug 9 in Oslo

[that1guy]

Well that's a better clue than most other rumored bands. Well have to hope and see.

[wiscostraightup]

How many headliners have played in a different continent the week after lolla before?
Serious question, not sarcastic.

[Nile19]

Serious question, not sarcastic.

Black Keys are at that same fest with Bjork in Oslo. Also, just as a random example: in 2010 2mandjs played in Portugal Aug 4, Lolla Aug 6, and Ibiza Aug 13, so ya it has been done (granted, they are a Perrys headliner not a main)

[wiscostraightup]

Thanks. Didn't know about tbk playing that fest as well.

[WretchedSkye2113]

weren't Foo's at a euro festival the week before and/or after lolla?

it can definitely be done.
(doesn't necessarily make Bjork more/less plausible)

[Nile19]

Last year Coldplay was in Japan the week before Lolla too

[Nile19]

weren't Foo's at a euro festival the week before and/or after lolla?

it can definitely be done.
(doesn't necessarily make Bjork more/less plausible)

I dont remember the exact dates, but they did Euro fests in the summer, then Lolla, and then back to Europe, and then back to the US again

[WretchedSkye2113]

and Muse was in Kansas!

...which is kinda like a foreign country.

[arbee]

[wiscostraightup]

God I hope we get atdi from that Japanese fest.
/wrong thread

[Nile19]

Back to Bjork though: I think if Lolla is willing to book Sigur Ros, and they are also booked Bjork for Lolla Chile, and she has the open dates and is active, it seems like a likely case

[Audiobully]

maybe i'm confused.



these are all 4-6 headliners

correct. I don't want those to be the 4-6 headliners.

[snoopydoggy2002]

My sig is my final and only guess.

Metallica * The Black Keys * Bjork * The Chemical Brothers * Beck * Jack White

Sigur Ros/ATDI/Florence & The Machine/Passion Pit/Animal Collective/M83

[Waffle_Fish]

My sig is my final and only guess.

Metallica * The Black Keys * Bjork * The Chemical Brothers * Beck * Jack White

Sigur Ros/ATDI/Florence & The Machine/Passion Pit/Animal Collective/M83

I don't think the Chemical Brothers are Bro enough for C3 to book them as the EDM headliner. Plus aren't they busy with scoring films and such now?

[that1guy]

My sig is my final and only guess.

Metallica * The Black Keys * Bjork * The Chemical Brothers * Beck * Jack White

Sigur Ros/ATDI/Florence & The Machine/Passion Pit/Animal Collective/M83

A wise sig. I'm just not so sure on the Chemical Brothers... rest is perfect.

[that1guy]

Anyone know the odds on Fatboy Slim subbing? He seems like the kind of guy to sub for Beck. He is doing a few fests and shows this summer.

[askiba]

He did North Coast last year. No idea how likely it is for Lolla though.

[WretchedSkye2113]

not big enough to sub for anybody or headline perry's at this point.

afternoon under the tent.

[31_Shoot]

Is there any reason that we have stopped mentioning the Cure on these lists? They are doing festivals this summer (Europe only announced so far), but if they did do a US festival it would definitely be Lolla because they have already done Coachella and wouldn't really fit the demographic at anything else, amirite?

Also, aren't they supposedly playing MSG on August 1st or something? I mean if that's true I think there's a semi decent chance we get them still. Plus I think they fit the Lolla demographic much better than some of the names that are being thrown out here, just my opinion.


edit: I mean possibly ACL, but I still think Lolla is a better fit

[WretchedSkye2113]

they're still possible (i think CG kept them on his list).
just not recently mentioned.

this thread goes in cycles of everyone predicting the same top 6 for a while and then changing everything after 1 little rumor/idea about a new headliner.
it happens.

[muthastone]

what is the story behind this mysterious aug 1st msg gig?

[WretchedSkye2113]

symb?

[muthastone]

? did they hang out with robert smith backstage recently or something?

[Caseysitsallgood]

? did they give robert smith a bj backstage recently or something?

?

[WretchedSkye2113]

i ain't saying it's credible.
i'm just saying it was said.

[SecondSet]

Dan Auerbach gave Robert Smith a BJ backstage at the Mumford and Sons gig at the Ryman, and that's how we know Beck's roadie is playing Lollapalooza, backed by Robert Plant's Band of Joy, after MSG August 1st.

[muthastone]

if it was with the cure backstage, prob a rainbow party.

[MadBird11]

Worse than Kony.

[31_Shoot]

I really hope people don't start saying that like its a real thing. Thatd be super fucking annoying, i can just see the youtube videobros now

[MadBird11]

This is a board that regularly used to post this:

http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzvsa8zhh11qdvatvo1_250.gif

I'd brace yourself.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i wish i had been around for that.

(the regular use of the gif, i mean)

[Krentistthedentist]

Prince * Watch the Throne * Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden * Drake * Beck

[Krentistthedentist]

Wait, why is the Buzzword alt denying the validity of these sources. I mean, even if they are bullshit, is it REALLY that hard to believe that the Black Keys, who play literally every fucking festival ever, are playing Lollapalooza?

[YoMamma]

Prince * Watch the Throne * Black Sabbath
Iron Maiden * Drake * Beck

Iron Maiden is playing in the Chicago area on July 5th and will be in Cali playing on the Aug 3rd and Aug 4th. Arizona on Aug 6th.

[Krentistthedentist]

Yeah I know I am seeing them TWICE because I am fucking awesome and love Maiden.

My list is more just like "Krentistpalooza"

[Willy]

Anyone know the odds on Fatboy Slim subbing? He seems like the kind of guy to sub for Beck. He is doing a few fests and shows this summer.

He is doing the spring awakening thing, very unlikely.

[carligula]

if it was with the cure backstage, prob a rainbow party.

Is that like a Lemon Party?

[muthastone]

not really. plus lipstick is involved

[Krentistthedentist]

At Robert Smith's age, it is very much like a lemon party

[muthastone]

hahah

[Audiobully]

So, about a month away from the lineup being released and all we have so far is:

-Some dude from inforoo claiming TBK said to him they're playing Palooza.
-Some dude at Ultra claiming there will be a big electronica headliner
-Passion Pit actually confirming their appearance.

This has to be a record, right?

[MadBird11]

Either one of two things is going to happen:

1. Greatest Lolla ever.
2. Worse than 2011.

I don't see any way middle ground happens here.

[Audiobully]

Totally agree. I'd think it'd be better than last year. All last year involved was bands currently touring. This year, that doesn't seem to be the case, right?

[WretchedSkye2113]

but i'm thinking this. :D

[Audiobully]

Black Sabbath * Metallica * The Cure
The Black Keys * Jack White * Swedish House Mafia
Florence + The Machine * Passion Pit * At The Drive-In
Ben Folds Five * The Shins * Primus * M83
Miike Snow * St Vincent * Garbage * (Wretched's favorite non-headliner here)

like this?

[concertgoer]

Overall 2007 was better than 08.

[Audiobully]

Overall, but the 07 headliners were uber weak outside of 1 and 2

[concertgoer]

Fuck that Muse was fantastic in 07.

[concertgoer]

Black Sabbath * Metallica * The Cure

[Mikedarippa]

[Mikedarippa]

[MadBird11]

But they deserved #3? C'mon, man.

[carligula]

Totally agree. I'd think it'd be better than last year. All last year involved was bands currently touring. This year, that doesn't seem to be the case, right?

You think it will be the best ever? I'm expecting middle ground.

[MookieDaddy]

RHCP just added a date in late October in Minneapolis... Seems like it would be odd to be here in May, then come back in August, then play MN in Oct. Hopefully that logically rules them out.

[concertgoer]

Someone text Stupka

[Audiobully]

You think it will be the best ever? I'm expecting middle ground.

Best ever? No. just either really good or really bad. Not expecting middle ground.

[WretchedSkye2113]

radiohead = cure or bjork
ratm = sabbath
nin = metallica
yeezy = wtt
wilco = beck
raconteurs = tbk (ehhh)

08 ~= 12 headliners
plus possibility for solid midcard.

i am hopeful.

[carligula]

i am unrealistic.

FTFY

[WretchedSkye2113]

same thing, really.

If C3 has been good at anything the past couple of years it's giving us disappointing lineups....and yet I still come back.

[WretchedSkye2113]

i maintain hope until we have solid(ish) rumors to suggest otherwise.

smoke 'em while ya got 'em.

[concertgoer]

But they deserved #3? C'mon, man.

Who cares? I thought we were talking about what year had the best lineup?

[brynrich]

I think this could be the most Bryntastic lineup since 08

[MookieDaddy]

I hope thuds is too.

[brynrich]

FUCK YOU, MOOKIE

[MookieDaddy]

IF YOU TWEET THAT I WILL BEAT YOU!

[El Goodo]

Hee hee

Bryn that kind of scares me:p

[rosettastoned462]

Bryn that kind of scares me:p

yeah. wasnt gaga a bryntastic headliner?

[askiba]

If WTT plays, I'm pretty sure the entire set will just be Niggas in Paris played 20 times.

[Thisismyname]

Radiohead, Wilco, and Kanye was amazing. Easily the best headliners for me.


(Until they do R.E.M., Smiths Reunion, Wilco)

[Krentistthedentist]

You did it wrong. It amazes me how not only were the headliners perfect that year, but that different people agree for different reasons.

Raconteurs, Radiohead, Rage, NIN/Kanye

Glow in the Dark, Raconteurs, Radiohead, Rage, NIN

[concertgoer]

2007 had better subs and a better undercard, but yeah I loved the 08 headliners.

[Audiobully]

Looking back at 2008, it's pretty amazing I was able to see Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against The Machine, The Black Keys, Toadies, MGMT, Love & Rockets, Bloc Party, Toadies and Chromeo all in the same weekend (or, weeknd).

i have the 2008 poster.
it is seriously stacked from the first line to the last.


every time i look, it makes me weep.

[Broc1123]

CG is right on the money. I was only at Friday of 08 and not 07 at all, but there were like a million non-headlining bands at 07 that would headline now. So stacked.

I'm in the same boat. '09 was great because it was my first festival, but I loved the '10 lineup. Knowing what you're doing also helps, I can't believe I lasted the weekend in '09 with one water bottle and no food breaks.

So far he's mentioned Passion Pit (legit), St. Vincent, OFWGKTA, and Justice (fits the EDM headliner thing my friend told me earlier)

[MadBird11]

I'm glad he's been following Bryn Rich! thread very closely.

Bad news: If the date is correct, I can't imagine they play one day in Chicago and the very next in MC, or vice versa.

[carligula]

That faronheit guy has given up fucked information three years in a row now. Remember the website with 65 (what a coincidental number) names but a few of them would be wrong "to throw people off" and then a bunch of them ended up being wrong and he said his friend was teaching him a lesson lolwut?

Thank you! I knew I remembered his name.

Nice. I would recommend that you tweet something like: "If you're following @Faronheit and you'd like the full list now rather than waiting for one act a day, just go here <Link to Bryn's Thread>"

I don't really see why not, the flight from ORD to MEX is 4.5 hours and its not like its a huge change in timezones. I definitely think if they were to play lolla that Sunday night would be their slot.

Metallica back to Mexico in August

It seems that James Hetfield and company contemplate back to Mexico.

On Saturday August 4th was the day that the group of San Francisco is presented to the public in Mexico City

Mexico City (March 6, 2012). - Metallica could return to Mexico prinicpios August this year, according to a source close to the U.S. group.

The informant said that you like, also the band, one of the most important heavy metal in history, acting on Monterrey and Guadalajara.

The quartet of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo was presented three nights at the Foro Sol in Mexico City in June 2009 and had previously come to the same property in 1999, accompanied by Pantera.

The first record in our country of the authors of "Enter Sandman", "Master of Puppets", "Creeping Death" and "Whiplash" was issued in February and March 1993, with five performances at the Palais des Sports, which resulted in a triple album that belongs to the box titled Live Sh * t Binge & Purge, which complement DVD performances in San Diego and Seattle.

[ReZoN]

Yeah, that's an online translator...

For real? Would have never guessed...

[concertgoer]

So are they playing three shows in Mexico?

[carligula]

I don't know how it could be any clearer:

Volvería Metallica a México en agosto

Todo parece indicar que James Hetfield y compañía contemplan de nuevo a México.

El sábado 4 de agosto sería el día en que la agrupación de San Francisco se presente ante el público de la Ciudad de México

REFORMA / Redacción

Ciudad de México (6 marzo 2012).- Metallica podría regresar a México a prinicpios de agosto de este año, según una fuente cercana a la agrupación estadounidense.

El informante señaló que se está buscando, además, que la banda, una de las más importantes del Heavy Metal en la historia, actúe en Monterrey y Guadalajara.

El cuarteto integrado por James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Rob Trujillo y Kirk Hammett se presentó tres noches en el Foro Sol de la Ciudad de México en junio de 2009, y previamente había venido al mismo inmueble en 1999, acompañado de Pantera.

El primer antecedente en nuestro País de los autores de "Enter Sandman", "Master Of Puppets", "Creeping Death" y "Whiplash" se dio en febrero y marzo de 1993, con cinco presentaciones en el Palacio de los Deportes que derivaron en un disco triple que pertenece a la caja titulada Live Sh*t Binge & Purge, la cual complementan actuaciones en DVD en San Diego y Seattle.

[muthastone]

so maybe they figured out this Black Sabbath situation and don't need Metallica as a fall back?

[WretchedSkye2113]

well if Sabbath were to play, they'd fit the mold for Sunday, so if it fell through Metallica could potentially still fly up that day.
article only mentions Mexico City for Saturday. nothing else.

"It seems that James Hetfield & Co. will come come through for Mexico again.
Saturday, August 4, will be the day that the San Francisco group performs in Mexico City.
Metallica could return to Mexico at the beginning of August of this year, according to a source close to the U.S. group.
The informant also says that the band, one of the most important in heavy metal history, will perform in Monterrey and Guadalajara.
The quartet of James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo performed three nights at the Foro Sol in Mexico City in June 2009 and had previously come to the same venue in 1999, accompanied by Pantera.

[WretchedSkye2113]

[provided it's true] i say it's evidence for Metallica playing/standing by to replace Sabbath.
proves that they're touring, in the "area" that weekend, and are free for at least 2 days.

[muthastone]

so if they play mex city on the 4th. the natural route would be to go to guadalajara to monterrey. that would eliminate the 5th.

[Irving_Red]

Would they do Keys vs. Metallica Friday?

[concertgoer]

I would rather have Sabbath anyway
#rare

[WretchedSkye2113]

I would rather have Sabbath anyway
#timelimit
.

[concertgoer]

Black Sabbath- The Throne- The Black Keys
Beck- Jack White- Justice

Black Sabbath vs Justice
The Throne vs Jack White
The Black Keys vs Beck

[31_Shoot]

I could fuck with that, although WTT vs. JW would kinda suck

[muthastone]

that looks nice. but what about SHM?

[WretchedSkye2113]

sabbath, throne, and beck would make me so happy.

would be kinda sad to miss JW though, depending on his setlist.

[muthastone]

Top 3

Black on Black on Black

All black everything.

[that1guy]

Black Sabbath- The Throne- The Black Keys
Beck- Jack White- Justice

Black Sabbath vs Justice
The Throne vs Jack White
The Black Keys vs Beck

What...? I thought it was established that Jack White would be a sub... Maybe not :P

[Audiobully]

Black Sabbath- The Throne- The Black Keys
Beck- Jack White- Justice

Black Sabbath vs Justice
The Throne vs Jack White
The Black Keys vs Beck

Now THAT I'd be really excited for! But could you by chance switch Beck and Justice? Please???

[Miller]

What...? I thought it was established that Jack White would be a sub... Maybe not :P

That was brought up, but not "established." He's #1 at Sasquatch and #3 at Hangout. If he plays Lolla, he's gonna headline.

[carligula]

so if they play mex city on the 4th. the natural route would be to go to guadalajara to monterrey. that would eliminate the 5th.

How can you talk about a logical route if you've only seen one date? Are they only allowed to tour from South to North? Why can't it be Monterey, then Guadalajara, then Mexico City, then Chicago?

[carligula]

Either way, I think this means they're 1000x more likely to play Outside Lands the following weekend than Lolla this year.

[cosmo]

If I remember right, Depeche Mode's tour in 2006 went from Mexico City to KC (short show) to Chicago (cancelled). But I'm not sure how days were in between.

[carligula]

Aren't several acts playing that other CA music festival and swinging down to Mexico while they're on the West Coast?

[SecondSet]

Irrespective of the routing, it makes sense for them to play at least two of those dates on the weekend. Assuming these are for real, I think it's even more unlikely than it already was that they would be at Lolla.

[carligula]

Keep in mind that could still be a tentative date. Because it hasn't been announced yet, they might be able to reschedule if they have to fill in for Sabbath.

And yes, I realize the amount of assumptions and unfounded speculation in my above statement is mind-numbing.

[muthastone]

TBK, Sabbath, WTT would be a great diverse top 3 to draw in the numbers.

[SecondSet]

Sabbath is a WME act. That's the only reason I'd buy them at Lolla.

[muthastone]

TBK = the "it" band

Sabbath = the legendary rare act

WTT = straight swag/beast mode

[that1guy]

Would they do Keys vs. Metallica Friday?

They wouldn't because The Keys have shows on Lolla Friday and Lolla Saturday. If they play, they're GOING to be Sunday for sure. Metallica could be though.

[concertgoer]

Where are They Keys playing on Lolla Friday?

[that1guy]

Where are They Keys playing on Lolla Friday?

Can't remember. Something like Toronto...

[SecondSet]

Can't remember. Something like Toronto...

Could we institute some sort of system whereby that1guy has to figure out what the fuck he's talking about before he posts something?

[SecondSet]

Am I right that no metal band has ever played Lolla other than X Japan (unless you're counting Wolfmother)?

[SecondSet]

Just a reminder that TBK have yet to sell out their large arena shows in Chicago, Milwaukee, Indy, or Grand Rapids.

[concertgoer]

Can't remember. Something like Toronto...

They are playing Toronto on Lolla Saturday. I checked their website and they had no show listed for Friday.

[RCarr11]

That was what I was thinking. I thought they still had friday and sunday open.

[Audiobully]

Guyz, we already know the headliners! They're Metallica/Beyonce/RHCP/The Killers/Beck/Sonic Youth (FINAL SHOW)

[concertgoer]

I think TBK will play Friday. For some reason I just don't see them as a Sunday headliner.

[muthastone]

In 2008, who closed out Sunday on the south stage?

[danzip53]

NIN?

[nikkirkpatrick]

kanye

[concertgoer]

NIN was north and Ye closed out the south field.

[nanatod]

Am I right that no metal band has ever played Lolla other than X Japan (unless you're counting Wolfmother)?

witchcraft. deadsy may be goth, but they sure sounded metal.

[stelles75]

Deftones?

[RCarr11]

I think TBK will be friday vs Beck/Bjork, saturday WTT/Kanye vs. Jack White, sunday Black Sabbath/Metallica vs. SHM

[Audiobully]

Yeah, Deftones really qualifies. Guessing Rage does too.

[stelles75]

There are definitely a handful that we could debate for several pages. :D

[glitterbacon]

Am I right that no metal band has ever played Lolla other than X Japan (unless you're counting Wolfmother)?

Not sure of everyone's definition of metal, but these look like they qualify: Body Count 1991, Metallica 1996, Korn 1997

I think it's definitely something to consider that there have been very few metal acts recently at Lolla/at lolla at all... It could mean Metallica/Sabbath is more likely, or less likely.

IMO I don't quite buy Metallica or Sabbath yet.

[that1guy]

Could we institute some sort of system whereby that1guy has to figure out what the fuck he's talking about before he posts something?

No objections. T'would probably do good.

[snoopydoggy2002]

Jack White is a headliner, and this proves it.

http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/jack-white/2012/third-man-records-nashville-tn-13ded5d9.html

7 Stripes Songs
2 Racs Songs
2 Dead Weather Songs

[carligula]

Oh, holy shit, I didn't realize that show happened. Look at that set! I didn't want to get my hopes up that I'd ever see him do White Stripes songs again, but there you go. Hopefully all the shows are that good!

[nikkirkpatrick]

<# the hotel yorba

[concertgoer]

Is that setlist legit?
Holy fuck!!!

Wait he played sixteen saltines with the all male band on SNL
This might be bullshit

it's not bullshit. last night was the 3rd anniversary party at third man records

Cool so yeah now I really want Jack to be at Lolla.

[Nile19]

Cool so yeah now I really want Jack to be at Lolla.

My excitement for a Jack White headline set has gone up +100

[concertgoer]

My excitement for a Jack White headline set has gone up +100

Seriously I think he is now #2 behind WTT on my realistic headliner wish list .

[alady]

All I want is powder blue suit at Lolla plz.

[muthastone]

Cool so yeah now I really want Jack to be at Lolla.

Did you really not think he wouldn't pull out the big guns for his solo sets?

I mean he wrote the damn songs.

[RCarr11]

That is really exciting...but I mean come on, what did you guys expect? I wouldn't have expected anything less. Now I am looking forward to see if he switches it up a lot. With such a deep catalog, every night should be a sweet surprise!

[pieman27]

I hope he keeps dead leaves and the dirty ground... would like to see him add level/consolers of the lonely and icky thump/300 mph torrential outpoor blues. Hearing dead leaves and the dirty ground live would make me soooooo happy

I was in Nashville yesterday....brb, slitting my wrists.
I'll rise from the ashes for a Lolla set.

[jcp]

If this is legit, and I can't tell since I no habla espanol, it's a good news/bad news deal.

Good news: They're on this side of the Atlantic on that weekend.

Bad news: If the date is correct, I can't imagine they play one day in Chicago and the very next in MC, or vice versa.

Kasabian plays new York march 22, Mexico city march 23, then Boston march 27th. Not that kasabian and Metallica are comparable, but it certainly can be done.

You're as bad as a spammer and I hope Carl IP bans you.

[concertgoer]

So every year since 2008 Lolla has shared a headliner with Reading.
2008 RATM
2009 KOL
2010 Arcade Fire
2011 Muse
This year the headliners are expected to be Kasabian, Foo Fighters and The Cure. Hopefully this trend continues and we get The Cure this year.

[WretchedSkye2113]

LOL OH GOOD WE'RE GETTING KASABIAN AS A HEADLINER I AM SO THRILLED.

[concertgoer]

heh

[concertgoer]

So just because I am bored I will swap out a metal headliner for The Cure.
The Throne- The Cure- The Black Keys
Jack White- Beck- Justice

Damn those would be some brutal conflicts.
