And the 0.01% of doubt that I had earlier today when I posted this same exact lineup has now been successfully resolved.
Looking forward to the after shows.
where r they usually at?

rubberjohnny: the ultimate troll since august 1929
…and she?/he still looks 11 yrs old!
Must be one of ‘em Twilights.
Cuz they don’t age or something. I dunno, I never read those books/movies.
You should search Rubberjohnny0829 and see the shit that pops up….various arab rape porn with his name attached and then there is the awesome scooter stunts vid from 2007.
A list of bands that will all be playing in the same park in Chicago on August 3rd, 4th & 5th.
Hope that shines some clarity on the confusion.
i think you forgot to type the word ‘what’
rubberjohnny will be headlining the parking lot. You thought Heavy Metal Parking Lot was great, wait until you see Emo Troll Parking Lot.
i won’t be anywhere near this festival. i was SURE golf wang was gonna be there! looks like yet another festival can’t handle the litter life bacon boys.
So your not doing that parking lot thing?
He’s playing a gig in an underground bunker for 3 sketchy people that night.
People who go to this: whether or not you like his record, no one kills as reliably at festivals as Twin Shadow. He seems to play every one, and it’s a serious “Who the fuck IS this?” show every time. See him if you can!
Agree 100%. I saw him at this music festival in Memphis called Rites of Spring two weeks ago. I was very ambivalent towards his record, but he blew me away. It was a very small crowd too, maybe 200 people all packed under a tent, but he still put everything out there for us. Definitely one of my favorite shows I’ve ever been to.
Is it me or is there a big discordance with the headliners and the rest of the festival?
I agree, the lesser bands that I am usually most excited about are…lesser and not exciting.
Obligatory comment about who I believe should be attending: I was hoping for some Refused/Modest Mouse/Animal Collective action.
I read that Animal Collective hated the experience of playing Lollapalooza when they were there last time. I’m curious if they would even consider playing again.
So I know the crowd at last year’s Coachella hated Animal Collective. My friend was up front and was seriously disappointed by all the people close up booing them (which is a dick thing to do). The problem with festivals is that if you are a smaller band coming before a popular band of another genre, the people up close may not be into you, which sucks hard if you are experimental like Animal Collective
The fact that they never really seem to play many of their actual songs at festivals would make me think they don’t care too much about whether the audience is into them or not.
Animal Collective is not a very good festival band in my opinion. I first saw them live at Pitchfork and was quite disappointed. I’ve seen them several times since and they have been great. I mostly wanted them at Lolla because of the likelyhood that they would play an aftershow

Meh
I really like this lineup – especially the electronic music selection. As a Moombahton fan it’s good to see the genre starting to grab some attention. Also, from what I’ve seen SBTRKT puts on an amazing live show.
P.S. On Perry’s stage it’s Nadastrom not Badastrom
You guys. Sigur Ros is touring. Quit yer whining.
I honestly had to check to see if Haley Reinhart was a parody band or actually the American Idol contestant. Good for her.
white rabbits thooo
They were just in Chicago, though. So were the Walkmen, and Dum Dum Girls, and the Black Keys, Chairlift, First Aid Kit, Tune-Yards, M83, Alabama Shakes, etc. There’s like 6 bands I would actually go out of my way to see, and at least five of them have played here within the last 12-18 months. I suppose it’s a great festival for people from out of town who don’t have access to good shows, or who would rather see a few good bands in the same weekend, but in the latter case, you’re playing schedule roulette.
Afghan Whigs would be cool, though.
most excited for Franz Fergindon. surprised they’re so far down the list…below Aviici? Are more ppl more excited for them than FF? But really who gives a shit
I too can’t wait for Frank Ferguson.
same here. Francis Florentine is the mad note
Easily the best lineup they have had in several years right?
Yeah, this actually was a surprisingly good lineup. I don’t get how so many people are complaining about it. Just look at the last couple of lineups and then tell me this one is horrible.
Best since 2008 — Radiohead, Rage, Ye, NIN, etc.
2010 was the best in recent years imho. strokes, arcade fire, soundagarden for some of the headliners
Oh yeah 2010, I was there too :)
Fuck Buttons too!
I was thinking best since 2008, I don’t recall exactly who was there in 2010 but I seem to remember no day having more than one or two bands I had any interest in seeing.
Yeah I didn’t even show up to Day 3 2010 until like 6:30pm
However, The Strokes & Arcade Fire had AMAZING sets at Lolla. I think Phoenix did really well… but that’s a different (drunker) story.
2010: The Strokes, Phoenix, Arcade Fire, Hot Chip, Grizzly Bear, The National, MGMT, Spoon, Devo, Chromeo, Yeasayer, Black Keys etc. ..way better than this year
IDK about way better than this year, but I’ll give you way better than I remember.
good to see (my)hometown artist at Lolla (Yuna)
I went back and took another look at the Coachella and Bonnaroo lineups and I gotta say Lollapalooza has the best lineup.
FRANK MOTHERFUCKIN OCEAN
You get to see SABBATH….thats worth it alone
I wish. When I was 12 I went to see Sabbath with my older brother at Ozzfest (I know, shut up) and they sounded just so very very tired. I can’t even imagine what they sound like now.
Hey man, some good bands played at Ozzfest, I saw QOTSA play there before anyone really know who they were.
Can you say, siiiiiiick braaaaaag??
How would a 12 year old be able to judge anything?
With a brain.
Im just saying it would be hard to accept a 12 year olds accessment of a concert, considering my sister thinks Radiohead is terrible and Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are the greatest thing ever. Besides that I saw Sabbath in 1998 and they fucking destroyed the place.

0/0 = :(
I think Pitchfork has him, don’t they? I don’t know if this is true or not but I’m pretty sure there’s some sort of contractual thing going on between Pitchfork and Lolla that only lets bands play one or the other per year. As far as hip-hop goes, Pitchfork is better off this year.
Bands who play at Lolla can’t play in Chicago for several months before or after except for aftershows. Not sure if Pitchfork has similar rules. I was actually a little surprised to see that The Weeknd announced a chicago show May 3rd, I guess that was long enough before Lolla.
that’s not true the black keys played Chicago 3/19 and red hot chili peppers are playing Chicago 5/28/2012 so what are you talking about?
Why is there a dragon in my Chinese takeout?
Sigur Ros & At The Drive In. If they don’t come to ACL or FunFunFunFest I might have to fly up to this.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis + Doomtree + Childish Gambino + J. Cole
I don’t even like hip hop that much and that alone is a huge boost for Lolla. I’ll be really excited to see a mix of artists this year.
Certainly Black Sabbath and Afghan Whigs
I Think Lollapaloosa has Coachella Envy and Is Just As Confused About Music As Its Demographic.
its eclectic
But where’s Phil Collins?
Still think Lollapalooza 08 was the best. Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, AND Nine Inch Nails headlining? GTFO!!!
It has been a decade since the red hot chilly peppers were headlining material for any festival. Also, who are the black keys?
it should be someone like adele o rihanna.
who are you? how did you get here?
