It Starts Now: Volume Four - 2012 Lollapalooza Headliner Speculation

[Audiobully]

OMG I just saw the html code for the lineup site. It was up for a few seconds. I saw The Cure, Watch the Throne, Black Sabbath, The Black Keys, Avicii, and Florence and the Machine as the top 6. OMGOMGOMG

Not cool, dude.

[joelmanfu]

HOLY SHIT 124 > 123. FAKE.

recounted... still got 123.

[nikolajz1]

HOLY SHIT 124 > 123. FAKE.

Use maths and prove that 124=123 GOGOGOGO

[rockrdudetim]

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

Grove for Florence, I'd say.

[SecondSet]

The list does contain 123 names, two of which are notated "Chile" and "Brazil."

[Driftwood]

Grove for Florence, I'd say.

You crazy.

[RCarr11]

Yeah, Florence will not be on the Grove. Talk about a terrible place to be if she was.

if we get Sabbath, Jack White, and some totally unexpected awesome headliner within the top 6 that can suggest no major conflicts:

ATDI as a headliner would be almost as wtf as phoenix. And I love ATDI
Ignore the coachella billing cause that's just dumb.

Don't know where you found these but (1) they're great; and (2) needless to say, I very much hope to be the hysteric lady in a few hours from now ;-)

Childish Gambino will certainly be happy about himself being there.
Me on the other hand..

[Broc1123]

That's Troy Barnes, not this Gambino character you're talking about.

[SecondSet]

I really don't get the thing about Phoenix as a headliner. This is a band that has played Madison Square Garden, and had a big hit or two that everyone knew from a car commercial.

[wiscostraightup]

I really don't get the thing about Phoenix as a headliner. This is a band that has played Madison Square Garden, and had a big hit or two that everyone knew from a car commercial.

It was the half fake square garden setup thing, wasn't it?

[SicktoBpopcrapfanmistaken]

Are they? On European festivals at least (though perhaps not the French ones), they are not even the band just before the headliner... more than the third one down the list.

[eldaniel182_]

Phoenix is just an awesome band!

[DJC20]

Not a fan of the leaked headliners, if real. If lolla gets the Throne though>>>>>

[SecondSet]

It was the half fake square garden setup thing, wasn't it?

Where do you live again? Dubuque? Winona?

[SicktoBpopcrapfanmistaken]

They might be (not my own favourites, but I can see why people would like them), but does it make them a headliner of a (world-class) festival? Not saying I wouldn't want to have them on the line up..

[wiscostraightup]

Where do you live again? Dubuque? Winona?

Madison. A mildly cultured place where don't sniff our own farts and pretend we matter more than anywhere else. Unlike whatever ec shithole you hail from.

[symbionese]

Where do you live again? Dubuque? Winona?

10 years. 10 years...

[wiscostraightup]

10 years. 10 years...
As long as it's not NYC or D.C.
Talk about ugh.

[SecondSet]

mildly cultured

lol

Anyway, the Garden was sold out that night.

[wiscostraightup]

Half of it.

[SecondSet]

As long as it's not NYC or D.C.
Talk about ugh.

Too many minorities?

[SecondSet]

Half of it.

Please stop talking about things you don't come close to understanding.

[SecondSet]

MSG is not the Target Center.

[wiscostraightup]

No, D.C was ugly and N.Y.C smells like shit.
Although I've only been there 3 times so I really can't judge.

[wiscostraightup]

Target Center.

even that's giving madison too much cred. all we have is the energy center. yuck.

[Krentistthedentist]

MSG is not the Target Center.

Correct.
It is easier to sell out than the target center is.

[symbionese]

Too many minorities?

your robe is showing...

[Krentistthedentist]

even that's giving madison too much cred. all we have is the energy center. yuck.

what about the kohl center?
Simon and Garfunkel were there when I lived in Madison.

[SecondSet]

No, D.C was ugly

I wouldn't recommend Paris


and N.Y.C smells like shit.

Ok, farmboy.

[wiscostraightup]

Ok, farmboy.
Never been to madison huh?
and ktd the kohl center very rarely has concerts.

[Krentistthedentist]

I think my favorite farm in Madison was the one near that capitol that grew restaurants.

[wiscostraightup]

I think my favorite farm in Madison was the one near that capitol that grew restaurants.

Graze has a wonderful beet farm.

[wiscostraightup]

Secondset, do you happen to live in a Jersey burb?That's the vibe i get.

[SecondSet]

Correct.
It is easier to sell out than the target center is.

Lol. It's easier to sell 20,000 tickets in a 3-million-pop metro than a 19-million one? The Target Center has modular capacity (down to 30% or less) that you never see at the Garden.

[Krentistthedentist]

Lol. It's easier to sell 20,000 tickets in a 3-million-pop metro than a 19-million one? The Target Center has modular capacity (down to 30% or less) that you never see at the Garden.

For a self-proclaimed genius, you sure have trouble reading.

[wiscostraightup]

People in nyc are willing to see any shit show though to make themselves feel better than everyone else.

[SecondSet]

Never been to madison huh?

I've been there and I've seen what surrounds it. Or did you forget what my safety school was?

[wiscostraightup]

Rutgers?

[Totally]

idk when secondset decided to make his signature style pedantry and self-importance but probably he should reconsider

[SecondSet]

Secondset, do you happen to live in a Jersey burb?That's the vibe i get.

I guess you're an expert on a Jersey vibe from Madison? I have no relationship to the State of any kind.

[wiscostraightup]

I somehow doubt this.

Yes.

What would I have to lose?

[SecondSet]

I somehow doubt this.

I thought NYC was bad enough? Or were you reconsidering?

[wiscostraightup]

What would I have to lose?

You could win a free year of path red line travel.

[Krentistthedentist]

Is the special members entrance on the tracks?

[SecondSet]

path red line

Stop embarrassing yourself

[wiscostraightup]

Stop embarrassing yourself

Lol I'm not from the city or jersey, I know nothing about it and am pulling shit off the internet. I'm not embarrassed at all.
Now being from the worst place on Earth, you can be embarrassed.

[wiscostraightup]

Is the special members entrance on the tracks?

Ask Secondset. I would say ask symb but he'll probably bring up anal sex somehow.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[buzzword]

Oh?

He still thinks you and I are one in the same... :/. Totally is frequently a fool


News flash guys... Given the frequency of both my and secondsets post... I'd have to be unemployed and bored as fuck.

[Raylan]

Are multiple accounts common at this forum? What is the purpose of that?

[PhotoGuy]

So I just heard a radio commercial for Lolla. it said "featuring RHCP, Black Sabbatch, Avicii, Justic, Jack black, Black keys, florance..." So the point is....It looks like there will be no surprises. :-(

[Totally]

He still thinks you and I are one in the same...

no, you two are definitely distinct brands of terrible

[Raylan]

^Not buying it. The radio ad, that is.

[Miller]

If you're being so annoying that you get banned, it allows you to continue being annoying

or just trolling.

[buzzword]

no, you two are definitely distinct brands of terrible

Then I'm back to not understanding your comment...

[PhotoGuy]

So I just heard a radio commercial for Lolla. it said "featuring RHCP, Black Sabbatch, Avicii, Justic, Jack black, Black keys, florance..." So the point is....It looks like there will be no surprises. :-(

Keep in mind I meant Jack WHITE...although I do hate jack black and Jack White equally.

[buzzword]

If you're being so annoying that you get banned, it allows you to continue being annoying

They thought of that... I've had multiple accounts banned at the same time before

[Raylan]

If you're being so annoying that you get banned, it allows you to continue being annoying

or just trolling.But, if somebody gets banned, doesn't an IP ban prevent most duplicate accounts? If a ban doesn't come with an IP ban, a ban seems kind of futile.

[buzzword]

Ip bans are only used in the most extreme cases.

[sleeping]

But will there be any alarms?

[buzzword]

Disc jockeys can read the Internet too.

What station? Actually, never mind. Any radio leak at this juncture is an unaffiliated station.

[PhotoGuy]

it was Kiss FM 103. something. It was an official commercial with stupid affects and everything. It wasn't a disc jockey. :-(

[Thisismyname]

It's ok, I believe you.

[Thisismyname]

Says the guy with the unicorn avatar.

[RCarr11]

I believe it.

[brynrich]

But will there be any alarms?

<3

[PhotoGuy]

ha ha, Love it. Well...i have no reason to make it up as it's not NEW info. I'm just simply saying I heard it and there were no additional names mentioned.

[carligula]

This thread had a good run at the top, but it is officially UNSTUCK.

[Krentistthedentist]

Uhhh, you're unsticking it because some guy said he heard something on the radio?

[MadBird11]

Thank all of the science.

[rockrdudetim]

I don't care if PhotoGuy is lying or not since I'll know for sure in 4 hours.

[rockrdudetim]

Uhhh, you're unsticking it because some guy said he heard something on the radio?

Probably because the lineup is t-4 hours away.

[MadBird11]

DERP

[sleeping]

LLLLLLLLLLLOCKIT!!

[nazor1]

I feel a little sad. We almost made it to 1,000. Of course by we, I mean you people who always post.

[Audiobully]

So the leak was legit? Sweeeet. I'll miss shooting the shit tonight so you all have fun till tomorrow after 5pm when I'm able to be a dick again.

[that1guy]

When does the schedule come out?? Just curious.

[ferro_man]

Honestly I do not care. I'm only gonna give a shit about Q101 if they cool it with the buttrock, which the streaming station has not done yet (even though the selection of what they play is a lot more diverse).


one of the two guys that own q101, has 3 rejection letters from q101 from various times he applied to work there (and was on air talent at Wil Rock which might explain all the buttrock they are playing)

[sleeping]

When does the schedule come out?? Just curious.
45 MINUTES!!

Oh, is that what his style is? I thought his catchphrase was

A+ post

it's usually june or july-ish for the schedule

[that1guy]

it's usually june or july-ish for the schedule

So the LINEUP comes out in 15 minutes? I heard somewhere on this thread that it comes out 10am april 11th...? I try to answer these questions by myself before posting them, btw. :/

There was a party that started at 10PM for the midnight reveal (in 12 minutes)

[carligula]

The schedule, not the lineup.

Check out my FAQ thread in the QUESTIONS subforum.

I'm gonna miss this thread :(

[MadBird11]

I won't.

Nobody create Volume 5 until October. Ignore Raylan's thread.

[carligula]

It seems like in the last few weeks, people kept repeating "It's close to lineup time and we know virtually nothing". Is it just me, or was the leak this weekend and the subsequent verification the LEAST surprising lineup we've seen in recent years? The top 3 acts were all revealed by "insider info" on this board and Inforoo and the 4th act was revealed via CTA adds (to no one's surprise). I mean, the most surprising thing is the billing.

What will we be saying next January about all of our speculation this year?

I think we're just better at it. We threw away a lot of sources that we didn't think we could trust.

[MadBird11]

Still kept a lot of stupid sources.

No personel conversations count as speculation next year. How many of those panned out?

[IAmScareMongering]

Black Keys, RHCP, Black Sabbath, avicii...

[MadBird11]

The one's Bryn linked, I meant.

[WretchedSkye2113]

Personal Conversations
Black Keys
Blind Pilot
The Features
St. Vincent
Steel Pulse
Tame Impala

50% =/

[MadBird11]

I wonder if Carl ever tossed the dude that said the Features would be there.

[nikolajz1]

The Cure will be there in 2013.
