Didn't they already headline that like 15 years ago? Sad state of affairs!

Oh, Man.....that is pathetic.....of all the bands to headline......they go to the retread.....that's another trip I won't be making....

Normally, I don't go to those festivals for the headliners. I'm much more interested in the smaller stages and bands.

very very true.  i was at the Coachella they headlined and didnt see one song from them, thanks for Interpol and Fischerspooner.

Yes, I really think it's premature to fear the worst. 129 bands have yet to be announced. I expect a fair number to be bands I don't want to see. But I also expect that there will be an equal number that I'm desperate to see. Who knows! That's what makes the anticipation fun.  
 
 I'm not that surprised about RHCP. Organizers said there would be bigger bands, and RHCP have a new album coming out.

yeah, other than Radiohead I cant really think of a "headliner" band that i would really care to see....
 
 I am totally hoping for Mudhoney so that perhaps we could start a muddy moshpit like the Lollapalooza of years ago!

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Come on. You know you'd be all over Depeche mode.

only if they promised not to play anything after Some Great Reward!

I don't feel like looking this up: How many bands played both Coachella and Lolla last year? (I'm asking because I really want Wolfmother to play Lolla.)

[kurosawa-b/w]

Oh and I'd love to see Depeche Mode. Or New Order! Radiohead goes without saying.

i dont think more than a handful, but seeing as how they have like 50 more bands playing this year, i bet there will be more.  Wolfmother would be sweet!

I saw for the last week or so the "SP-RHCP-Flaming Lips as headliners" rumour that I'm sure everyone else has, so I'm thinking with the RHCP confirmation that looks like it's probably true.

Wolfmother were incredible over the weekend. I thought they would be a bit stoner, but they had the craziest energy onstage. Lots of dancing, jumping, twisting, falling, etc. all over the place. I haven't been that excited at a show since Maximo Park last Summer. Awesome. They are definitely a must-see band. I'll send you some pictures, if you like.

Just Announced

i'd definitely consider lollapalooza this year.
 last year i got in on the $35/2-day passes, but decided not to go and sold them to a friend.
 
 i've been looking for an excuse to get to chicago this summer (i'm actually going to be there next week for mogwai, but..)...
 
 want to hit up either a cubs or sox game...
 and the tut exhibit is there and i am too impatient to wait for it to hit philly next year.
