Because it is retarded and spreads the festival too thin. Having 4 acts at once = less value to the customer.

Muse vs Coldplay vs Ratatat vs Girl Talk= dumb, no matter what you miss 4 acts. Most other time slots you miss 2 or 3.

So if I see Ratatat, what 4 acts am I missing?

Spreading out a crowd of 95,000 people is a good thing.

aren't there usually 5 stages going at the same time? Hope they don't start having BMI headliners

Well I'd argue earlier in the day there is less "value" missed for most people. Having 4 top 15 acts go against each other is dumb IMO.

More choices for headliners= less value since you will be missing 3 top 16 acts.

Not sure on your number,but that still would be 5,000 less people at the other two main stages. I like that C3 is now giving people more choices in ending their night. Some people might not like the north, south or Perry's headliner so the Grove gives them another choice.

You are bad at numbers. Ratatat were 19th and would be even lower if you compiled a master list to rank Perry's in with the rest of the line-up (which you would like to do to say that the Perry's acts are top 15 or whatever). A 25th or so ranked act on Grove should not be a major factor unless they are one of your favourite acts (at which point skip the headliner - but in terms of value we are probably talking about a show that costs $25?)

concertgoer
04-03-2012, 08:43 PM
Also some acts shows work better at night and The Grove headline slot gives those bands the opportunity to play after dark.

Even though it's late in the game for predictions, I feel that something's missing. Perry's still quite confident in his tweets that a headliner will shock everyone, and the rumors of Black Sabbath and WTT just wouldn't do that. You don't get the feeling that it's a massive "shock" act. Sure, they're both rare, but with four probable headliners known (Jack, TBK, SHM, Justice assuming they make headliner), it's an underwhelming group, even with Sabbath as a 1/2.

Is there a possible shocker still in store? Someone on the level of David Bowie, who celebrates the 40th anniversary of "Ziggy" this year, perhaps.

I think that inside of this board, every possibility has been chewed up and spat out, considered backwards and forwards. For the average Joe Lolla Bro, WTT and/or Sabbath would shock the shit out of them.

no way Perry calls Beck an EDM headliner. I'm hoping we get Beck instead of RHCP.

its just like, the fucking Chili Peppers tour all year every year. How could this be a draw for a festival? I guess the way i see it is i'd like to see a FEW bands on the lineup that i can't see in my hometown this summer.

RHCP would be greatly disappointing. Not that I completely hate them. They just have worn out their welcome, especially w/o Frusciante. They would make a really lame #2. I don't know why Lolla would want to bring back a #1 headliner less than 10 years later. If they are no longer good enough to be a #1 then why should they be on the lineup at all. It just looks bad imo.

Your or any one other person's opinion on their music has nothing to do with their popularity.


But anyways, as far as general popularity goes I think Black Keys may be bigger than Phish now. By that I mean there are more Black Keys "fans" in the country purely from a statistics standpoint. The true phish phandom is much much greater and more devote than the Keys core fanbase though. Black Keys won't be throwing their own festival on the scale of a Phish Phest anytime soon. But who would get top booking at a major multi genre fest like Lolla? It's a toss up. ::enter symb 'vacuum' quote here::

alady

I do see your point about the black keys. I mean they would be right in the wheelhouse of Lolla's target demographic. A demo that follows trends and has little musical knowledge beyond the black keys.

You are dense if you believe that.
He has played this fest as a #3 and a 2.
He was also billed 4th at ACL last year.

Ah yes '06 (POS lineup with RHCP on top) and '08 (even he is going to bow to Radiohead nevermind reunited RATM)- but do you HONESTLY think that Jay Z and Kanye would do WTT as a #2 act? C'mon. After the fellating he got over the last album?

And yes #4 at ACL on the poster but played bigger stage over Coldplay on Friday (Bud Light stage) - which oh by the way was where Stevie Wonder and Arcade Fire played their sets.

And my point was a hometown thing. He isnt gonna give a "discount" here to play that low...he's been a 2 and 3 so he sure as hell isnt coming back unless he is a 1 here.

I would go
Bjork * The Cure * The Killers * Stone Roses (Fest starts Thursday depending on the visa issues. I think we should all right into Immigration and tell them we want our Stone Roses at Lolla this year)
Beck * Black Keys * Jack White * Justice (assuming Thursday start date upon resolution of visa issues.)
Everlast * Smashing Pumpkins * Snoop (90s line. My boy Diego down in Chile overheard the event ops guy tell him the lineup and told me he forgot about Everlast like people tend to forget about Dre)
Sigur Ros * Florence * M83
XX * Garbage * Mazy

Yeah, they would have been unlikely for Lolla since they headlined in '09, but you never know with the "heavy" lineup we're awaiting. DMB and Tool are pretty decent gets for a brand new fest in the MN. Seems like they spent a lot on their headliners and very little on the undercard.

Oh, I know. But, on a positive note, it serves to explain the inflated post counts of some of the members around here. People are always willing to rack up thousands of meaningless posts, every time a troll posts a fake lineup. There's no place like home.
