Lollapalooza

[Julian, Alleged Computer F**kface]

To be fair, after reading DeRogatis' article, it's more of a "here's the newest rumour, and when I asked the producers, they wouldn't confirm nor deny."

Well, if that's legit - would be the best festival headliner lineup since the Coachella that Radiohead headlined.
 
 Wilco definitely claims Chicago as their hometown, by the by.

To be honest, it doesn't really do that much for me. My NIN phase was a decade ago, and I always thought RATM was the most terrible band ever. I like Radiohead and early-Wilco, but I'd really dislike two of the headliners, and I'd imagine a NIN/RATM crowd would be terrible. I know I'm in a small, weird minority, but if we want a 90's band to headline, I'd prefer that STP reunion.
 
 That said, if it's true, it'll sell out FAST.

Totally a personal preference - but Rage, NIN, and Radiohead are three of my all time favorites.  So I'd be a happy camper.

Is that the line-up for Lollapalooza '08 or Lollapalooza '98?

i believe i've heard that tired line before...

[ggw]

Have they announced Everclear, Barenaked Ladies, and the Mighty Mighty Bosstones yet?

[sweetcell]

rage + wilco is picking up steam.  still just a rumor tho.

 next opportunity for cheap tickets will be the early bird sale, scheduled for april 1 i believe.  $160 instead of $190.

my bad, early birds actually go on sale march 25.  price hasn't been revealed yet, last year they were $165.

How about Third Eye Blind, Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Marcy Playground?

[sweetcell]

sounds like yeasayer have been added:  see last para.  shaping up nicely.
 
 after some thought, i think i'd rather not have rage in the line-up.  i love their music and what they can do to a crowd - i just hate their crowd.  also, lolla organizers had to fight hard to bring the festival to downtown chicago.  putting on rage might be too risky, in terms of people getting hurt.

I'm only in if they add Sponge, Fastball and Tracy Bonham.

That's so sad, if that's true.  Tragic, even.

But how you deny the delicious irony of witnessing all the backwards-baseball-capped, muscle-shirted meatheads screaming along to "Bullet in the Head"?

oh, it's pretty sweet alright.  but having experienced it twice now (coachella and vegoose), i can't say that the sweetness would offset iritation caused by having said meatheads in the crowd for all three days of the festival.  if they book RATM, lolla will sell out before they get around to releasing single-day tickets.
