so that makes 42…wonder when, or if, we'll ever get another 18+ to make over 60 as they promised. funny how it started out at 70+ bands and now has dwindled to 60+. they better get their shit together and confirm some more bands soon.

It's just 1 band…Though, I still have some doubts, I think they'll pull this off fine.

Calm down folks, it's still early. Hell other festivals that take place in 1 month haven't completly announced their acts yet. Lolla is still 3 months away. I didn't see anyone freak out about Coachella when a few bands dropped out. It happens.

Could you be a bit more specific about "bad feeling?"

Have you had visions of death and destruction….toppling speaker towers….a tornado in Grant Park….an outbreak of Legionnaires Disease….don't eat the brown acid….

i dont know yet.

i just feel like sometime between now and july 25 i will be sayin "glad i decided not to go"

no envisioned death, though.

in fact, i do remember biting nails before coachella last year. first wilco dropped out. then thom yorke cancelled the australia shows just before coachella due to strained vocal cords. i was pretty nervous, yes, because i had already paid for plane tix. ditto for lollapalooza although there isn't quite so much invested yet. at least my hotel room isn't paid in full.

anyway, coachella's lineup is announced in early to mid-february for a late april show (2 1/2 to 3 months in advance by my count). beyond a couple of minor dropouts and/or additions, the coachella lineup is usually pretty much the same when the event comes around. lollapalooza's announcements have been sketchy to say the least and the number of promised acts has dropped by 10 since i bought my "souvenir" ticket. yes, i'm nervous.

i'm going. i don't care.
for me it's an excuse to hit chicago up again.
i got in on the $35 2-day passes so i have no regrets whatsoever. as long as there's at least 2 bands per day that i want to see, i will view it as worth the $17.50 per day.

Even if the anticipated number of acts has dropped below 70 as first stated, at 60 bands, you're paying $.58/band. Shit, you aren't going to pay that anywhere. I know you won't see all 60 bands, but still. And we don't know why the Dandy's have dropped. Endless number of reasons.

I just need to get airline tickets and I am set. Hotel is paid for, as I am sure prices will get jacked up for that weekend. If nothing else, my wife and I will have a nice weekend in Chicago.

the dandy's dropped out cause they know BJM will blow them off the stage…

I bought $35 tickets anticipating a certain native Chicago artist playing. As it stands, the lineup is great at $35, but I wouldn't pay $100 or whatever it costs now.

There you have it, the Dandy's are scared! :D

And yeah, it's a lot easier to justify when you paid $35 instead of the $85/$100/$115.

Anyway. I'm pumped about the show and will make it a fabulous weekend. Anyone hear of any "after show" shows in the Chicago area?

i've been checking around about late-night shows. will post when i hear of any. i'm sure the city will be hopping that weekend.

don't get me wrong…i'm still excited about the weekend in chi-town, and i'm glad i only paid $35 for tix. however, with ticket prices at $100+ now, i'm just hoping enough other people think it's worth it. otherwise, it'll end up getting cancelled like last year.

As long as he's alive in our hearts, Sonick, he's never really dead!!

Take it for whatever you feel it's worth, but this is a reply I got back from the Dandy's:

From: sean gothman:
Our band was never in the line-up, the first we even heard about it
is when fans were telling us that we were. I would look into this
shady Lollapalooza organization if I were you.
