It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[Broc1123]

1. If someone was putting this much time into a fake (adding in all those tiny bands at the end and making sure to spell everything right and bill everything in a decent place) they would probably try to spread out the hip hop.
2. Bonnaroo had Mac Miller and Childish Gambino right next to each other on the lineup this year. It looked weird but whatever.

[Neader]

Shouldn't there be more random acts that we haven't expected? Aren't there always a few surprises on the bill? Where are those on this alleged one? It's almost too obvious.

I said this in the other thread - but isn't the line-up missing the derp we are used to? The Wretched approved bands?

[SecondSet]

Black Sabbath is the derp

[SecondSet]

Or Chili Peppers, if you prefer.

Or Avicii.

Derpapalooza.

[Traviud]

I guess I'm just way out of the loop, because I don't remember Afghan Whigs, War On Drugs, Tallest Man On Earth and Dum Dum Girls being rumored. Those were nice surprises.

[Driftwood]

Well RHCP gets the headliner derp. There is always headliner derp.

[Driftwood]

OH SHIT I GOT A GREAT REASON THE LINE-UP IS FAKE ...

Missing C3 represented artists? Aren't there always a handful of them every year?

[Driftwood]

Like Free Sol ... Heartless Bastards ... Blues Traveler ... I'm blanking.

[nikkirkpatrick]

now the switch is on the other foot.

[WretchedSkye2113]

The Wretched approved bands?

this...probably shouldn't become a commonly used phrased around here.

[wanny]

I mean I would really love for that line up to be real, but personally I think its fake. I don't think the top 6 is correct at all

[MadBird11]

Too late.

Bassnectar is a C3 artist

No Swedish House amirite?

You would consider that line up a shitty cake?

[WretchedSkye2113]

...i hate that that almost makes some kind of sense in my head.
i'm off to go drink (again)!

[Driftwood]

Bassnectar is a C3 artist

You used to be able to locate the full list and we'd (the savvy ones) always use it for 65 predictions. Even if Bassnectar fits the bill there would always be 3-4 if not more.

[Krentistthedentist]

Black Sabbath is the derp

you are the fucking derp

Seriously why is nothing showing up for me?

[Rollingbeatles]

I would be thrilled to see Sabbath at Lolla, and I hope this leak is true, but is it certain that they would have to headline?? Did anyone consider them as a Sub headliner, simply because when they toured in 2004 they only played about 60 minute shows, and I find it hard to believe they'd be playing much longer than that these days. Like two of them have cancer, no? And Ozzy can't stand up that long. They're definitely big enough to headline, but I don't know how much time they would fill. Then again, the strokes only did 75 minutes, so who knows.

[Krentistthedentist]

Rollingbeatles
Do you prefer the Stones or the Beatles?

[Driftwood]

MGIGNAC ALT?

The Beatles when I was younger, but The Stones and The Faces once I hit my 20s.

At the drive in #6? Florence #5. Jack white #4...

I mean, dude...
Are you guys fucking serious?

What?

[SecondSet]

Que?

[nikolajz1]

lmao

[Rollingbeatles]

Remember back to the first Lolla in Grant Park, Pixies were a sub headliner, so it wouldn't be that far of a stretch. Maybe Sabbath into Jack White? How cool would that be?

[Driftwood]

Delta Spirit's another C3 artist

Did you find a comprehensive list somewhere?

Thievery Corporation, Brazilian Girls and a couple others are mentioned on wikipedia.

[arbee]

IT'S LIAM!!

[Krentistthedentist]

The Beatles when I was younger, but The Stones and The Faces once I hit my 20s.

Cool. I also preferred the Beatles when I was younger but grew into the Stones. Not in my 20s though. I grew to prefer them a little earlier than that.
When I was driving home tonight, Steve Van Zandt was playing a bunch of Faces songs since he's inducting them into the RnR HoF.

And in regards to your question, Sabbath is big enough to headline, therefore they will headline. I feel like Ozzfest sets are always pretty short. Can someone back me up on this?

[arbee]

this dude could be older than me

[MadBird11]

I hope not.

[Krentistthedentist]

arbee is my favorite poster, i wish we had more people like him around here.

I liked the Stones before my 20s, but in my 20s they passed the Beatles. I'm glad to hear the faces are reuniting for the induction. Hopefully a tour will come out of it.

Some of the shows Sabbath played in 2005 weren't Ozzfest dates, like the European tour, and they still only played about 11 or 12 songs tops. I'm sure they'd still headline either way because of how rare it is to see them, but I really wouldn't mind them as a Sub Headliner. I just don't think they could fill the time. Hopefully they'll prove me wrong.

[Rollingbeatles]

Me? I'm 32. Am I older than you? I'm sure I'm one of the older ones here. I do like new music too. Don't let my name fool you.

[Fifi Ireland]

Ahhhh Rush.....that would have been awesome!

[carligula]

An incomplete list of reasons to be skeptical of this list:
- No Kimbra, Odd Future, Steel Pulse, Features, or Lumineers
- Dr. Dog plays in Oregon during Lolla weekend
- Top EDM acts not apparently among the top six (and Bassnectar at Perry's?)
- Black Keys listed before Black Sabbath
- "Clumping" of acts - various Alpha pairings (slightly broken up), Dawes/Die Antwoord/Wale (all CTA hints), Gary Clark Jr/Alabama Shakes (suspicious roots/soul pairing), etc.
- Lots of acts plucked from Chicago-area dates coinciding with the lineup announcement (which happens, sure, but the very large percentage is suspicious), and other similar indicators of picking bands who have yet to fill in their summer schedules (and not just around Lolla)

Very good analysis. We could argue about each point (and probably have), but all in all, we certainly have reason to be suspicious. FTR, I never said I believed it 100%, but if it is a fake, it's pretty impressive.

I'm glad you didn't list the Delta Spirit repeat as a strike against the validity. As several people have pointed out, there is a precedent for that (in very rare cases).

[Driftwood]

Add to that the extremely unprecedented overlap with the Coachella EDM line-up this year.

Avicii, Justice, Porter Robinson, Flux Pavillion, Zedd, Zed's Dead, Kaskade, Calvin Harris, Nero, Madeon, Sub Focus ...

Also Perry's seems short on acts compared to other years (only 21 - had 26, 36, 27 last 3 years. Sets started earlier in 2010 across the board).

[carligula]

I just realized I'm perpetuating the leak talk in the headliner speculation thread. Can we PLEASE try to talk about this in the semi-confirmed thread?

We should have just started a new thread when we had the chance...

[sonickteam]

Remember back to the first Lolla in Grant Park, Pixies were a sub headliner, so it wouldn't be that far of a stretch. Maybe Sabbath into Jack White? How cool would that be?

are you comparing the Pixies to Black Sabbath?

[Driftwood]

Did anyone play after Pixies on the same stage?

They were a headliner.

[carligula]

Yeah, in 2005, the scheduling was different and the fest only took up half the area. The Pixies were the #1 act that year (back when their return was still fresh). On Friday, Killers (#4) played MAIN East, then Widespread Panic (#2) played their second set on MAIN West. On Saturday, Pixies (#1) played MAIN East, then Weezer (#3) played MAIN West. Many of us wish they would go back to that format where the top 2 acts of the day played at different times.

[mikel1814]

For the record, not that it probably matters in the scheme of things, but Sigur Ros would consider it a life dream to open for Black Sabbath.

The first song Jónsi learned how to play on guitar was Wrathchild by Iron Maiden, at the age of 13. Iron maiden remains one of Jónsi's favourite bands today. Orri's (the drummer's) favorite band has been Black Sabbath from an early age.

I mean if you give the bands some sort of say so in when and where they get to play, they would jump at this for just about anything.

[Driftwood]

That sounds plausible to me.

It would be great if this allowed Sigur Ros a longer set time due to the shorter set times of Black Sabbath.

[bqtrain]

My Lolla guess:

Sabbath - Kanye (performs almost all of MBDTF, 30 - 45 min G.O.O.D. music showcase) - Jack White (first show with male backing band for half set, female backing band for half set)
Black Keys - Justice - SHM

Soooo Santigold is playing on the 4th (http://www.avclub.com/denver/articles/santigold-announces-tour-dates-joins-forces-with-r,71837/) with RHCP in New Orleans

Does it sound to you like I compared them? I'm just making the point that both are bigger bands, doing a reunion thing, and that The Pixies were not the last band that played that night. Weezer played after them, therefore Weezer headlined, I don't care if it was on a different stage a few yards away, Weezer played last.

[Broc1123]

Excited to see Of Monsters and Men. That has to be a fun show.

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but if the latest leaked lineup turns out to be real, I think it'll turn out to be an incomplete version.

I still think we'll get Kanye and/or Jay and another mainstream rock act like the Killers.

Sorry if this has already been brought up, but if the latest leaked lineup turns out to be real, I think it'll turn out to be an incomplete version. Meaning, I still think we'll get two more big headliners tomorrow, which would push ATDI and Florence to sub slots. I still think we'll get Kanye and/or Jay and another mainstream rock act like the Killers.

This leak could be real and incomplete but not if it is missing two headliners.

[Traviud]

It's too bad that the new fun. album sucks ass. It's impossible to convince anyone that the first album + The Format are worth checking out.

So much of this. I'd almost check this set out just to hear "Light A Roman Candle With Me," but I don't want to deal with the crowd that set is going to draw.

And I know, headliner speculation thread. I feel like that ship has well beyond sailed, though.

[YoMamma]

It's too bad that the new fun. album sucks ass. It's impossible to convince anyone that the first album + The Format are worth checking out.

I saw fun. live twice before this album came out and The Format live once, so I agree with you. The new fun. album has moments where it shines, but then it has so many moments where I was left thinking, "what the heck are they doing here?" Mainly with the overproduced Autotuned vocals in random places, etc.

[Krentistthedentist]

Settle down there.

If I can't tell another man I admire his wang in a totally hetero way, I simply don't want to post here anymore.

[ThePecanSandies]

I hear ya. Just have a hard time believing that Lolla's #1 is Roo's #2. And they're playing here two months earlier.

[Neader]

Black Sabbath is playing Roo?

[Traviud]

Mainly with the overproduced Autotuned vocals in random places, etc.

Yeah, the Runaway influence is strong with the closer. It's a bit sad, actually. Not because I dislike Runaway but because it's such a poor fit for their sound.

I dislike Some Nights for the same reasons that I dislike The Big Pink's new one...it sounds really plastic, cold and radio-friendly without delivering much of what I liked about the band in the first place. Not sure what I'm going to do for either of those sets (assuming FUN. shows up).

[sonickteam]

Gotye sucks dick.

Im not sure of his sexual preference, but his CD surely sucks. It doesnt suck dick though, because if it did, it would be worth paying $12 for.

It's a damn shame. Format was great, first fun album was very good then...autotuned pop garbage for the most part

[johnwaynewasanazi]

So I assume the leaked sheet is probably 80-90% correct.
For that remaining 10-20% of doubt. What are your guys thoughts on the following:

Garbage
Beck
OddFuture
Kanye/Jay solo or WTT
Drake

Perry already came out and said the Cure won't be there.

The worst thing (of many) about the prospect of RHCP headlining will be the effect it has on speculation next year. We'll no longer be able to rule out potential headliners based on their Spring/Summer Chicagoland shows.

fixed that for you

didn't kanye do two shows at the united center on the glow in the dark tour before headlining in 2008?

I wouldn't mind seeing RHCP, but more than likely there will be a better option. It's just sad that they are the best that Lolla could do this year.

what about RHCP vs Avicii to mess with all the bros?

[KevBlu42]

That would mean Jack would have to match up with either TBK or Black Sabbath. I mean, anything can happen after last year, but I don't see either of those happening. If RHCP is there, they're basically this year's pop/hip-hop act.

[RCarr11]

I think if this is our top 6, without a doubt in my mind, it will be Friday: Black Keys vs. Avicii, Saturday: RHCP vs. Jack White, Sunday: Sabbath vs. Justice

and would let me start bitching a few months early about saturday and sunday's headliners

[Driftwood]

Still not convinced Justice is headlining over Flo.

[KevBlu42]

I don't know what b96 is. But isn't Avicii closer to Deadmau5?

[RCarr11]

Right. And it's kind of sad because it takes all the excitement out of schedule release day.

Agreed. But I would rather have all the excitement taken away then have to worry about having a conflict like Muse vs Coldplay. That was awful, and I can at least rest easy knowing that won't happen this year. Granted, with how great the undercard is, I may run into that issue if a great act is playing the Grove.

[KevBlu42]

What's there to bitch about? The solution is Black and White.

B96 Birthday Bash! It's a country radio station.

My only real issue is hoping for a good Grove act during Avicii/TBK. I'm hoping for M83 there. And I'm hoping Florence doesn't conflict with someone good because my gf loves Flo and I owe her after last year.

[ferro_man]

the solution is sabbath and justice, the problem is that neither are playing saturday

I'm still not convinced Justice is a headliner, but I'm in the minority there. Is it possible they sub for Avicii or close the Sony stage one night? I don't see how they would be considered bigger than Florence.

[RCarr11]

If we take Perry's word for what it is, they will headline...but maybe Florence gets an hour and a half set right before them.

Or SHM are there. Or Bassnectar headliners or ...

[KevBlu42]

I know next to nothing about EDM, but Bassnectar seems to play similar, or even larger, venues than Justice. So why would Justice demand a mainstage headlining slot while Bassnectar is relegated to Perry's if both are indeed on the lineup?

[nikolajz1]

Daft Punk

Bassnectar won't headline, that would be dumber than justice

Justice is more famous/popular (I think?) but they have a really simple stage setup. Bassnectar has a pretty big and elaborate light show. I could kind of see it going either way.

edit: Also, Bassnectar has already headlined Perry's.

[SecondSet]

No

This makes a lot of sense to me. If the billing looks anything like the "leak" then I'm thinking more and more that Justice and Avicii will both close down the North field on Sunday against Santigold and Sabbath. Friday will be Keys vs ATDI vs. Basnectar and Saturday will be RHCP vs. JW vs. Kaskade.

[Driftwood]

Bassnectar is also promoted by C3 so they may want to showcase them on a main stage.

So you are giving ATDI a headliner spot based on the billing but not Florence? That makes no sense.

Wow, Keys vs. ATDI would be a pretty rough choice for me.
