It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[wanny]

From what I see, this fest wraps up at 11, so you might want to rethink that figure.
Is he even headlining?

Yes he is the main headliner

[symbionese]

Mr International Travel expert, care to weigh in?

on your inability to comprehend? or... ?

[wiscostraightup]

What an awful fest that must be.

[Raylan]

never going to happen.

Probably not. But, we can dream.

You're probably right. Die Antwoord isn't really too keen on traveling to N.A.

Outside of a few gigs around the East Coast and Canada (around the time of the Letterman appearance).

I doubt if they'd want to fuck with traveling here for Lolla. But, you never know.

I guess that's what makes threads like this fun.

Speculation.

[JML]

Are you just ignoring the majority of the posts here or..?

[Thisismyname]

...

[Krentistthedentist]

on your inability to comprehend? or... ?

You're the one that missed the point this time.

I was referring to Axwell flying to Amsterdam immediately after SHM's Lolla set.

[symbionese]

But, we can dream.

you got a frog in your pocket?

I'm confused by the way you're speaking about Die Antwood as though they won't be there...

[MookieDaddy]

Thanks to whoever created the Raylan alt for ruining one of my favorite current tv characters.

i understand. and you understand what the initial comment was in regard to -- yes?

[concertgoer]

Thanks to whoever created the Raylan alt for ruining one of my favorite current tv characters.

That reminds me I need to dvr Justified tonight

[symbionese]

now what is everyone going on about?

[wanny]

Everyone is just agreeing SHM will be there on friday

[Raylan]

Thanks to whoever created the Raylan alt for ruining one of my favorite current tv characters.

I really don't understand your post. But, you're welcome.

[Audiobully]

Love those clues. 4/4 for me which is a nice change from last year's clues being 0/whatever.

[Raylan]

you got a frog in your pocket?

No. I'm just happy to seeya.

[Raylan]

That reminds me I need to dvr Justified tonight

Looks to be kick-ass. As usual.

[symbionese]

No. I'm just happy to seeya.

frog, son. not tadpole.

[Krentistthedentist]

i understand. and you understand what the initial comment was in regard to -- yes?

If by initial comment, you mean your "never gonna happen," then yes.
If the one about my inability to comprehend, then no, I have no clue what could have possibly been the impetus for such a post.

[Raylan]

frog, son. not tadpole.

Nah.

What I got in my pants makes Dirk Diggler's package look like the nub of a castrated fruit fly.

[symbionese]

New Perrys: Sigur Ros, Passion Pit, M83

Black Sabbath vs Justice vs Sigur Ros vs Miike Snow

Ok. Let me text the anaconda handler from the local reptile house.

To get it on the scanner, I'd need help to handle the equipment.

3/4 for me, but I agree. A lot more excited about the fest.

[wanny]

That would actually be perfect because I only want to se jack white out of the non edm healiners

[Irving_Red]

But... but I want to see The Throne AND Justice : P

F you. This line up makes no sense. Keys and Jack White are like Coldplay vs Muse in terms of overlap. Plus I dont think there ever will be a scenario where there isnt a rock headliners on one side of Grant Park. Dance vs Rap on Sat= not gonna happen

[cosmo]

I know this is only speculation, but what makes everyone think that Black Sabbath is playing Sunday night?

[nikolajz1]

I hope I get to see Justice, Jack White, and Ye/Jay for my headliners

[symbionese]

i know that song.

[johnd12751]

How come we still don't have pics of these posters?

[IAmScareMongering]

I shouldn't try to persuade you; the less morons at Watch The Throne, the better.

[Krentistthedentist]

Sharon's comments regarding Black Sabbath playing one North American show in August that she has to wait for the promoter to announce. Presumable headliner Black Keys is only available to play Friday, leaving only Saturday or Sunday for Sabbath to play. As is tradition, a veteran headliner (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, RHCP, Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Poo Pushers) plays Sunday. Sabbath is a veteran headliner.

Remember a few weeks back when everyone was 100% certain Meallica would be there? Same thing.

Meallica isn't big enough to headline.

BTW, I checked out the Weeknd on youtube. You're right. It is real music, but not my kind of music.

[danzip53]

I think they could close the grove maybe

[Irving_Red]

They could if they wanted, but their sound is really tailored for arenas.

that's best case scenario at this point.

[WretchedSkye2113]

people are bitching about Jack White, the Throne, and Sabbath...the fuck?

[JML]

This would be the worst thing ever!

It's only bad because the first two days have some pretty disappointing conflicts.

Jack White, The Throne, and The Weeknd would be awesome.

[MadBird11]

people are bitching about Jack White, the Throne, and Sabbath...the fuck?

There is no Mumford/Skrillex/deadmau.

Get with it man.

[nazor1]

Did I miss some evidence for The Throne? I saw the Sabbath and Jack White evidence, is there a reason we're talking about The Throne so much? (besides the quota)

[JML]

Did I miss some evidence for The Throne? I saw the Sabbath and Jack White evidence, is there a reason we're talking about The Throne so much? (besides the quota)

Basically just wishful thinking

[symbionese]

throne exceeds the quota.

[nikkirkpatrick]

hopeless optimism

[nazor1]

Nukkaz in Parii, they better be there. After the draw of Eminem last year I feel they have to have a hiphop headliner. Of course my feelings don't mean jack.

[RCarr11]

It's only bad because the first two days have some pretty disappointing conflicts.

Jack White, The Throne, and The Weeknd would be awesome.

It's bad cuz Jack White and Black Keys are the only headliners I would want to see. And Sunday night, I would rather be eating shit from the sewer.

[symbionese]

that can be arranged.

[MadBird11]

It's bad cuz Jack White and Black Keys are the only headliners I would want to see. And Sunday night, I would rather be eating shit from the sewer.

You're doing it wrong.

[ferro_man]

or you could go home early

[Raylan]

The Black Keys?
One of the most over-rated bands of all-time.

Jay-Z? Kanye? Just no.

Sabbath? Well if Tony's cancer treatment is going ok. But, it would be beyond lame if "Sabbath" was just "Ozzy and Friends".

[WretchedSkye2113]

Doing it slightly less wrong.

[concertgoer]

No still extremely wrong

[fishkingpies]

i'm very excited to see the lineup.

expect to be disappointed and to find it terrible, but excited nonetheless.

[RCarr11]

It's bad cuz Jack White and Black Keys are the only headliners I would want to see. And Sunday night, I would rather be eating shit from the sewer.

Okay, so maybe a little overdramatic...I would just be bummed if they ended having the only two headliners that I want to see booked on the same night against each other. I am not an EDM fan, so I am left with the alternative, which personally for me, I wouldn't enjoy that much.

Justice has to be Sunday and I think there is no way Lolla would put Jack White and TBK against each other

[Spoonman11084]

Wishful:

Die Antwoord > Bloc Party > The Prodigy (instead of Avicii or SHM)

Do I have to repeat that Justice is half of a Red Rocks show that isn't sold out, while Bassnectar has sold one and announced a second? It doesn't matter that the former is better than the latter.

yes sir (at least for mainstage headliners, idk anything about grove or former perrys)

[Irving_Red]

Would the Prodigy really be better than Avicii or SHM? Can't we just kill them all?

[xamnamxam]

While headliners are different, let's not forget this is the festival that scheduled Mavis Staples and Raphael Saadiq at the same time on the same day.

[Spoonman11084]

Sabbath vs Justice would be a huge conflict for me.

Preferably:
Sabbath vs Avicii
RHCP vs Jack White
The Black Keys vs Justice

my favorite black eyed peas song

[ThePecanSandies]

Totally get that he's headlining Sasquatch and Hangout, but I think Jack White could be a sub. Seems like a better fit for an afternoon set. Perfect Circle, MGMT, Snoop were all subs despite their popularity. And the Raconteurs were technically a sub in '08. Just sayin.

who would he sub for? RHCP?

[ThePecanSandies]

Maybe Black Keys, or even Mumford and Sons? Beck?

[MadBird11]

He just said the forbidden band name.

To the dungenon with him!

[ThePecanSandies]

Oops. My bad.

[annag02]

in regards to SHM:

1. eric prydz hasn't been considered part of SHM for years (just clarifying) and he's also afraid of flying so don't count on him being in the states very often

2. group DJs will often be billed as the whole group, but only 2 of 3 will be present on certain dates or the whole tour. it is possible that despite one being in europe they'd just have 2/3 of the SHM headline



And IMO all the rumors for the EDM headliners are not accounting for dubstep, considering the genre of EDM that's been represented at Perry's in years past. avicii, SHM, and justice is all i've been hearing and none of them step on the dub. just sayin'.

[ferro_man]

Maybe Black Keys, or even Mumford and Sons? Beck?

doubtful, not a headliner yet, and possible i guess

[ThePecanSandies]

I don't know, man. Mumford could fill that coveted Phoenix spot.

[wanny]

I also feel that jack white will be a sub for something. Annag speaks the truth.

[ferro_man]

I don't know, man. Mumford could fill that coveted Phoenix spot.

phoenix had 4 albums when they got that coveted phoenix spot
mumford has 1

if anyone is getting that coveted phoenix spot, it's florence and the machine

[ThePecanSandies]

I totally hear ya. But Phoenix had one breakout album. Mumford has one, plus a new sophomore album. Not saying it'll happen, but I think it's possible. And you're right, Florence could be #6 too.

[nikolajz1]

so then this?

[Waffle_Fish]

Justice is a borderline headliner, they could easily be a 6 or a Perry's closer. So what if they are a just a Perry's closer?

The Black Keys Vs. Avicii Vs. Sigur Ros Vs. M83
The Throne Vs. Beck (*sad face*) Vs. Miike Snow Vs. Bassnectar
Black Sabbath Vs. Jack White Vs, Justice Vs. The Weeknd

[here'slala]

I totally hear ya. But Phoenix had one breakout album. Mumford has one, plus a new sophomore album. Not saying it'll happen, but I think it's possible. And you're right, Florence could be #6 too.

In Nashville, Marcus said they were going home to finish the album. I interpreted it to mean they'd be back to tour when it was done. They've been working on it for ages and then they schedule more dates and it doesn't get done. I'd be really stunned if they played this year.

[Audiobully]

Would the Prodigy really be better than Avicii or SHM? Can't we just kill them all?

Completely different acts. Prodigy have people playing instruments on stage. And they don't suck.

[bqtrain]

I want to see Jack White rock 50,000 people like they've never been rocked before.

I saw Sabbath in 98 at Ozzfest. It's funny cause at the time I was like, damn, Ozzy looks old up there. It was cool hearing classics like War Pigs, but it still definitely felt like seeing a band past their prime. Now it's only 14 years later...

This. Definitely. I had friends that saw Sabbath on the same Ozzfest and had the same reaction. Good for the Trapper Keeper, but not a great or really all that enjoyable performance. For this reason, I hope they're not at Lolla. Plus I think with the history of Ozzfest (as a successful touring festival separate from Lolla) and the legacy of Sabbath themselves, they should have their own event, where they could take a much larger check home, and make it much more worth their while. I'm thinking Sharon said she had to wait to announce it because of Iommi's health, because that still puts a big ? on whether or not they'd be able to do anything. Just 'cause she said August, doesn't mean it has to be Lolla.

[Caseysitsallgood]

Maybe Black Keys, or even Mumford and Sons? Beck?

1. that'd be funny. 2. no fucking way does Jack Fucking White EVER fucking open for them. 3. I think Jack>Beck, popularity wise.


I also feel that jack white will be a sub for something. Annag speaks the truth.

Jack White is a headliner. He is #1 at Sasquatch and #3 at Hangout behind Dave Matthews and RHCP. There's really no reason at all to think that he isn't. I don't get where this is coming from. if you can back up your feelings that he is not a headliner, then I will gladly be proven wrong.

[cosmo]

Where the hell was Chafererfic during the Raylan thread?

[Irving_Red]

And they don't suck.

Debatable, but yeah at least they have a stage presence.

[Spoonman11084]

Black Sabbath Vs. Jack White Vs, Justice Vs. The Weeknd

Torture

[Spoonman11084]

1. that'd be funny. 2. no fucking way does Jack Fucking White EVER fucking open for them. 3. I think Jack>Beck, popularity wise.

I think he got the #1 spot at Sasquatch because of the fact that its his first show. And I guess, now that I look at it, there is no one on the line-up bigger than Jack White (Beck may be close)
I am also leaning towards the idea that Jack White and Justice are probably not both headliners. Would Lolla really release clues for two headliners on the first day of the new game?

[Caseysitsallgood]

I get the "first show" thing but your second sentence says it all.

It's definitely possible that Justice isn't headlining. now I'm sad I'm not going because they were fantastic at Ultra.

edit: but Perry's tweet about 2 EDM headliners... (one of the few instances I believe him)

[didyouseethe]

2 EDM headliners

I'm thinking it's Justice & Avicii

SHM would be interesting since they have never played in Chicago but I get a feeling that Avicii is what we'll get. (not sure why)

[SecondSet]

Wait, I can ignore Tom Cruise and the guy with the cowboy hat?

[SecondSet]

Jack White is a headliner. Justice is not.

[Caseysitsallgood]

I'm thinking it's Justice & Avicii

SHM would be interesting since they have never played in Chicago but I get a feeling that Avicii is what we'll get. (not sure why)

because he's playing North American arenas not in Chicago until early July?

[Caseysitsallgood]

Jack White is a headliner. Justice is not.

oh thank goodness you came down and informed us. what ever would we have done without this?!

[carligula]

Justice has high billing at Osheaga, but we have to consider they're still billed below Snoop Dogg who was a subheadliner in 2009. I agree that it would be weird to give us two of the top 6 on the first round of clues and Jack is undeniably bigger (now that we know he's playing material from the whole catalog).

If we're getting two mainstage EDM headliners as Perry suggested, it could be Avicii and SHM (minus Axwell) the first two nights with Justice closing down the Grove/Perry's on Sunday. The Coachella billing suggests that Justice is bigger than Avicii, but a look at their venues suggests the opposite. I think the same can be said for their scheduling at Ultra, too.

[didyouseethe]

because he's playing North American arenas not in Chicago until early July?

I just felt like we would get 1 or the other and was leaning toward Avicii.... I didn't look at his tour schedule but it looks to be that way.

I'm not sure why I felt Justice could headline....disregard that.

So is Miley Cyrus but she's not going to get booked.

[carligula]

If you insert two huge EDM acts into the billing, it puts acts like Justice, Sigur Ros and Florence and the Machine in a perfect position. They're debatable as top 6 headliners, but they could still close down the fest as a 3rd option each night (comparable in size to to Cudi, Girl Talk and Pretty Lights rather than Beirut, Ratatat, and Cold War Kids)


Black Sabbath * Red Hot Chili Peppers * Black Keys
Swedish House Mafia * Jack White * Avicii
Sigur Ros * Justice * Florence and the Machine

Black Keys vs. SHM vs. Sigur Ros
Black Sabbath vs. Avicii vs. Florence and the Machine
RHCP vs. Jack White vs. Justice

[WampireVeekend]

So is Miley Cyrus but she's not going to get booked.

Considering Lolla has already booked both acts in the past, they could be booked again.

Irrelevant. Both of those acts HAVE played Lolla and not been mainstage headliners (although they might be now).

[SecondSet]

So you're saying Kaskade isn't playing Lolla? You sure about that? Point is, one of those acts may be a headliner, but if they aren't big enough, Justice certainly isn't either.

[nikkirkpatrick]

Kaskade may be soon. bassnectar not so much

What I'm saying is just because a band is more popular that doesn't guarantee them a headliner spot.

Oh?

[carligula]

I could see those as the 6pm mainstage acts before RHCP, Black Keys, and SHM/Avicii. What are the lead-ins to Sabbath, Jack, and the other EDM act?

[carligula]

What I'm saying is just because a band is more popular that doesn't guarantee them a headliner spot.

You really don't get it. We know Justice and Kaskade will be there. If you think Justice will headline a main stage, you have to assume Kaskade will as well.

[SecondSet]

Sabbath is headlining now?

[Broc1123]

Didn't we decide SHM is not playing?

[Audiobully]

I could see those as the 6pm mainstage acts before RHCP, Black Keys, and SHM/Avicii. What are the lead-ins to Sabbath, Jack, and the other EDM act?

I see it:

At The Drive-In > Black Sabbath
Passion Pit > Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Shins > The Black Keys
Florence + The Machine > Jack White
Justice > Avicii (Perry's area: Sigur Ros)
Kaskade > Swedish House Mafia (Perry's area: Odd Future)

[Audiobully]

They could cut off the untz untz at Perry's around 6pm and have an act take the stage at say 8-830pm that isn't untz.

[Nile19]

I would actually prefer Justice to be a sub because it would make conflicts easier for me and allow me to see them plus more headliners.

[Driftwood]

I see it:

At The Drive-In > Black Sabbath
Passion Pit > Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Shins > The Black Keys
Florence + The Machine > Jack White
Justice > Avicii (Perry's area: Sigur Ros)
Kaskade > Swedish House Mafia (Perry's area: Odd Future)

That's a big set of subs - I think people sometimes forget that some subs aren't that big. Cee Lo was a middling act on his day at Coachella (I know he has a big name but what type of venues does he play on tour), Nas and Damian Marley played HoB, could Arctic Monkeys move Aragon tickets at this point or even Bright Eyes? Wolfmother was a Riv band from 2 years ago, same with Social Distortion (I know they played Congress more recently - but that was a large bill as part of Riot Fest), Hot Chip were also a Riv act.

Looking at that I think we are really setting ourselves up for disappointment.

[ironmonkey]

Kaskade is playing in Indy on Friday Aug 3rd....so they'll be at lolla sat or sunday.

[Driftwood]

I would probably take Jay-Z/Kanye over any other headliner if only because tickets to the WTT tour were like $100+

Glad I saw that show for $30.

[KevBlu42]

in regards to SHM:

1. eric prydz hasn't been considered part of SHM for years (just clarifying) and he's also afraid of flying so don't count on him being in the states very often

2. group DJs will often be billed as the whole group, but only 2 of 3 will be present on certain dates or the whole tour. it is possible that despite one being in europe they'd just have 2/3 of the SHM headline



And IMO all the rumors for the EDM headliners are not accounting for dubstep, considering the genre of EDM that's been represented at Perry's in years past. avicii, SHM, and justice is all i've been hearing and none of them step on the dub. just sayin'.

God, this whole EDM thing is so far beyond me. Could Muse have headlined if Matthew Bellamy just decided to stay home or play a solo show elsewhere? Hell no.

[MookieDaddy]

Kaskade is playing in Indy on Friday Aug 3rd....so they'll be at lolla sat or sunday.

Wait, Kaskade is playing Lolla?!? GET OUT!!

Kakade is playing Lolla on Sunday. That's the ? on his tour page for 8/5. I had forgotten that when I suggested above that he lead in to Avicii or SHM on Fri/Sat.

[Nile19]

If Kaskade has to be Sunday and Justice has to be Sunday, one could sub for the other
(Kaskade subs for Justice)

[Driftwood]

Guess of the day.

South: Black Sabbath, RHCP, The Black Keys
North: Jack White, Avicii, Justice
New Perrys: Sigur Ros, Passion Pit, M83
Subs: Florence + the Machine, Marilyn Manson, The Shins, Franz Ferdinand, Wiz Khalifa, Silversun Pickups
Grove: Miike Snow, The Temper Trap, The Weeknd

Black Keys vs Avicii vs M83 vs The Weeknd
RHCP vs Jack White vs Passion Pit vs The Temper Trap
Black Sabbath vs Justice vs Sigur Ros vs Miike Snow

Looks like another bait and switch. Who is the traditional Perry's act playing on Saturday? Everyone seems set that when Avicii / Justice / SHM / Kaskade or whomever plays the North that they'll put a non-traditional Perry's act at "new Perry's" (which I'm not even convinced of) but you can't have Jack White on North and stick Passion Pit at "new Perry's".

[MookieDaddy]

Looking at that I think we are really setting ourselves up for disappointment.

I have a bad feeling this is the most correct statement in this whole thread.

[sonickteam]

Wiz Khalifa???? ewwwwww

[carligula]

Do you think Justice, Florence, and Sigur Ros are considerably bigger than Pretty Lights, Girl Talk, and Kid Cudi? If you're willing to call that even, I think ATDI, Passion Pit, Kaskade, Shins, and Odd Future are reasonable compared to APC, Ween, CeeLo, etc.

[carligula]

(Kaskade subs for Justice) Don't let SecondSet see this!

[dr. ace]

I have a bad feeling this is the most correct statement in this whole thread.

my expectations are pretty low (C3 is still running this after all). i expect to be pleasantly surprised come 4/11. and if the lineup is horrible, will anyone really be shocked?

[Audiobully]

What are the EDM options for Friday?

I really don't know. It would need to be something smaller going off what Kot said.

In regards to what Driftwood thinks of my lineup, I agree that the subs are pretty top-heavy but I made it that way seeing as how two Perry's acts that would in previous years be that stage's headliners are now going to be on the main stage joining SHM.

[nikkirkpatrick]

[Audiobully]

Take 2011's lineup pretending Perry's doesn't have big headliners like past years:

Eminem * Foo Fighters * Coldplay
Muse * My Morning Jacket * Deadmau5
Girl Talk * Cold War Kids * A Perfect Circle
Cee Lo * Pretty Lights * Damian Marley & Nas
The Cars * Kid Kudi * Ween * Bright Eyes
Arctic Monkeys * Skrillex * Big Audio Dynamite

Still a shit lineup, but looks way more top heavy when perry's is combined with the regular lineup.

[snoopydoggy2002]

can we stop looking at rhcp for the #2 spot. i am pretty sure the allstate show rules them out and we don't need to listen to some noob who says he knows someone.

[carligula]

No. We can't.

[carligula]

Exactly. We'll trade out Deadmau5 and MMJ for Avicii and SHM, which leaves Pretty Lights and Girl Talk to trade out for Justice and Florence.

That said, I wholeheartedly agree with Driftwood, etc that we should be careful not to set ourselves up for disappointment. No one should think that we're guaranteed to get ALL of these acts.

Lol at Cold War Kids being billed 8th.

[Audiobully]

Well, they WERE billed seventh.

[Broc1123]

Well, they WERE billed seventh.

I know that's where they ended up after the weekend ended. But I don't really know what to make of it. I think it was a mistake.

[Audiobully]

I think it has a lot to do with them being repped by C3.

[Driftwood]

EDM is bigger in 2012 than 2011 so yes I do think that first group is bigger in the first sentence. Girl Talk played fests like 80/35.

APC and Ween are the only subs from last year on par with the acts being speculated as subs this year (Aragon type bands). From 2010 we had Spoon, MGMT and Black Keys.

[stelles75]

I think it has a lot to do with them being repped by C3.

Also, I heart them.

[sonickteam]

as do i. and they played a very good (wet) set to end my weekend.

[Driftwood]

I think it has a lot to do with them being repped by C3.

Then why weren't they billed there originally? And why did they stick them on the Grove?

[Broc1123]

Yeah I think it was just a mistake that they didn't care to fix since the festival was over.

[carligula]

Then why weren't they billed there originally? And why did they stick them on the Grove?

To artificially improve their resume for future bookings without raising too many eyebrows before the fest?

[Driftwood]

I guess we'll wait and see if they get sub level bookings from now on.

[Broc1123]

If anything, they will get no bookings after last year's album.

[concertgoer]

That was really a terrible album

[carligula]

If anything, they will get no bookings after last year's album.

So, you're saying that, if anything, they'll get nothing?

[Broc1123]

I'm saying they made a bad album and shouldn't get booked at all.

[pinm1]

I know they won't be headlining, but what about Metric? Are they ruled out?

[WampireVeekend]

From the shirt from last year, Cold War Kids was originally billed after Atmosphere and before Skrillex & Lykke Li, in case anyone cared.

[MookieDaddy]

I know they won't be headlining, but what about Metric? Are they ruled out?

There's a non-headliner thread...
But no reason to count Metric out, especially since they are at Oshega that weekend.

One more shot over lunchtime:


Black Sabbath * Red Hot Chili Peppers * The Black Keys
Jack White * Swedish House Mafia * Justice * Avicii
Florence + The Machine * At The Drive-In * Passion Pit
Sigur Ros * The Shins * Garbage * The Weeknd
Odd Future * Miike Snow * Childish Gambino
St. Vincent * The Hives * Steel Pulse * Girls

[ferro_man]

Justice has high billing at Osheaga, but we have to consider they're still billed below Snoop Dogg who was a subheadliner in 2009. I agree that it would be weird to give us two of the top 6 on the first round of clues and Jack is undeniably bigger (now that we know he's playing material from the whole catalog).

If we're getting two mainstage EDM headliners as Perry suggested, it could be Avicii and SHM (minus Axwell) the first two nights with Justice closing down the Grove/Perry's on Sunday. The Coachella billing suggests that Justice is bigger than Avicii, but a look at their venues suggests the opposite. I think the same can be said for their scheduling at Ultra, too.

kaskade -> justice -> avicii since justice just subbed for avicii at ultra

[nikkirkpatrick]

i think snoop is getting a serious coachella bump

[Audiobully]

Maybe they'll make the north end on Sunday just a steady stream of the untz's.

[Thisismyname]

kaskade -> justice -> avicii since justice just subbed for avicii at ultra

While this point is not important, because I agree Avicii is the bigger act, just wanted to point out that closing a stage does not equal headlining a stage at Ultra.

[Broc1123]

Can I get another explanation how Justice is big enough to headline?

I just don't see it. Avicii, Bassnectar, and Kaskade all play much bigger venues. Justice's last album was a flop and the previous album that got them buzz came out in 2007.

I would be willing to wager something on this.

[wanny]

I see it this way, Swedish House Mafia(2 of the 3), and avicii being the headliners. Justice headlining perrys a night. I just don't see how Jack White is big enough for a headliner either, even the white stripes didn't headline anything really. I see him being a sub for like RHCP or TBK. Plus Justice, RHCP, SHM, Avicii, Sabbath, and Florence could all draw bigger crowds then him.

[Driftwood]

White Stripes were going to headline ACL before canceling. Dare I say their version of our South stage? I think this bumped Muse up from being a sub to headlining?

Jack White is going to headline.

I was just looking at Florence's tour dates guys and they go:

25 JUL 2012 MORRISON, CO RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATER
29 JUL 2012 INDIANAPOLIS, IN THE LAWN AT WHITE RIVER STATE PARK
30 JUL 2012 CLEVELAND, OH JACOBS PAVILION AT NAUTICA
31 JUL 2012 DETROIT, MI FOX THEATER
2 AUG 2012 WEST TORONTO, ON MOLSON AMPHITHEATER
3 AUG 2012 MONTREAL OSHEAGA FESTIVAL
8 AUG 2012 OSLO ØYA FESTIVAL
9 AUG 2012 GOTHENBURG WAY OUT WEST FESTIVAL

This makes me think she is somewhat unlikely for Lolla. She hits the midwest at the end of April and then on this tour she plays Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Detroit on her way east to Toronto and Montreal before flying back to Europe for a show on the 8th.

She obviously COULD come back west to Chicago for Lolla on Sunday, but do we think she will?

[wanny]

Yeah that doesn't make sense though, muse would also draw such a much bigger crowd

I take it back, he seems to be headling a lot this year hangout and sasquatch

[cosmo]

What Driftwood said and Rosetta shouted.

Because she played it last summer and in December. AND she is playing Milwaukee at the end of April AND inside the radius (albeit one that's been broken a lot recently) in Indianapolis days before Lolla.

It could happen, but we're trying to figure out which of these Osheaga acts won't play Lolla since there are far too many.

[Neader]

It makes sense to you to go from Indianapolis to Montreal and back to Chicago within 6 days?

[Broc1123]

She already played Chicago in December! And last June.

I'm well aware she could play Lolla. But if she didn't, that wouldn't mean she hates Chicago.

[Driftwood]

Well if you got invited to Osheaga and Lolla, how else would you schedule your mid-west tour?

IRT Broc.

[Driftwood]

And she can't do it after Lolla cause of Oya.

I would be willing to wager something on this.

If you check out the UMF Buenos Aires fest's facebook page, Justice is at the top of the bill with Kaskade and John Digweed just below them. It also seems like Justice's font size is about 5 - 10 points larger. Maybe people just love to D.A.N.C.E.?

[concertgoer]

She already played Chicago in December! And last June.

I'm well aware she could play Lolla. But if she didn't, that wouldn't mean she hates Chicago.

She played a radio fest in June so she was yet to do a proper show promoting the new album in Chicago.

[Driftwood]

I was waiting for your take on this. That's a good point. I was trying to think of a way but you're right.

Also wrt to the December show - it was the XRT Christmas show right at Chicago Theatre? She can move a lot more tickets at this point (heck even then after selling out Aragon in June). It's also a no-brainer booking for Lolla -shes' done Roo and Coachella twice by then. Never played Lolla - fits the indie going on mainstream dynamic perfectly ...

[concertgoer]

Maybe not a flop, but if there was any buzz behind it, it's gone now.

Then how do you explain their billing at festivals?

[Driftwood]

Starting to doubt SHM and that website listing August 3rd.

Wouldn't them, Avicii, Justice and Kaskade be overkill for the top of the bill? All would be in the top 12 (maybe even 10?) in a old Perry's mixed into the main line-up billing system right?
