no lolla..

I'd chalk it up to Lollapalooza running its course.  Also, those bands have basically the same group of fans.  They sell out clubs, not outdoor sheds.

That's a good point.  It's not like each band is going to bring in a distinct fanbase.

Bugger!
 
 You are right though.
 
 If only they had got some crap acts to bollster the line up, say Nickleback and evanessence, maybe Blink182, I am sure they would have sold more tickets.

Well that sucks.

[kosmo vinyl]

but if the mainstage lineup were announced at the club it would sellout in a minute, people would be bellyaching about tickets.com, oh wait where is that beastie boys thread.  
 
 the problem is that lineup is bigger than constitution hall but smaller than an arena.  so where in this area would one have it, other than an outdoor field which would sucketh imho...

funny, I was thinking the same thing - put on the show ourselves. I know, too hard. BigYawn to the rescue?

[MindCage]

Wow so at least TicketBastard still comes out ahead and makes money!

Maybe they should have condensed the whole thing to one day before deciding to cancel altogether.  I just saw Morrissey last month in NY but the only dates PJ Harvey has scheduled in the US thus far were for Lolla.

Oyyy, just as bad. Although traffic and parking is better I guess.

[TomJaworski]

Who cares about traffic and parking? Get there early.  Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to see an incredible lineup of good music. People are just too damn lazy. Its a damn shame this show was cancelled.  What's wrong with this country?

[Random Citizen]

This will probably tranlate into the standing weekend festivals (Coachella, Austin, Bonanaroo, etc.) seeing even larger crowds in the future.

[Lamb007]

PJ Harvey and Sonic Youth on the same day would make it worth traffic and parking all by themselves.  The new and improved Merriweather deserves good shows like this.  Maybe the ever ambitious Mr. Hurwitz can cobble together his own Merriweather festival.

Hey Seth, any possibility of booking some of the scraps of Lollapalooza at the club?  Such a shame to have to cancel a great lineup.
