Lollapalooza Lineup

So after watching the site all week, i leave at 1 pm to go up to NYC to see the REM tribute.

And i miss out on cheap tickets. The gods are obviously not happy with me…

I think I'm still gonna go, but yes, I just really need to bitch at no one in particular, cause that fucking sucks. 2 solid days of putting up with the dumb asses on the Lolla boards for nothing…

Virgin Fest won't be that same Aug 7th wknd this  year……right???    Don't want a LOLLA conflict

yeah, but you got to see the REM tribute!  how was it?

Tool and the Killers are the last two headliners………  I wonder if Virgin fest will be the same weekend as Lolla.

underwhelming x10

That whole part from Lou Reed to TV on the Radio is wack.

(except for Andrew Bird)

Davy Knowles is back! Cant wait to see him again. And of course, White Lies and Friendly Fires makes me very happy! I suspect I am going to have a lot of conflicts this year.

every year, Lollapalooza finds it fitting to put one really stupid act on the bill, someone for people to laught at.

  the  year i went was this 16 year old girl rapper…who's name escapes me.

  this year…Asher Roth.  that "I Love College" song, is top 10 stupid-est songs ever!

Bummed at the lack of Franz Ferdinand here.  They skipped DC on this tour and no Lolla either.

I'm sure this means they'll be headlining the Virgin Fe..ah, never mind.

Yeah, I'm surprised Franz isn't on there or Yeah Yeah Yeah's, and Metric.  Hell even Metric was being as confirmed in Spin.

they ususally have additions to the lineup in the next few weeks/months leading up to the festival.

people were talking about metric on the lolla board.

My beloved Metric is playing Metro on Sunday, June 14. That puts them in the eye of the dreaded radius clause. I'm not sure if C3 would let the band do a June show and the fest.

They should, but I digress…

Maybe theyll be added tho??? and YYYs are in NYC at APW the weekend before, not that it really helps unless youre already going.

who know's if Virgin will happen this year, or more specifically where, the rumoured closing of Pimlico might adversily affect if it happens at all.

I like the line up… could have more… but it does like like it could be a fun weekend. 

supposedly the schedule for this year's lolla is out, but i can't get the site to load

edit: fixed - schedule website now working

schedule on first look gave me a headache. ive worked out some conflicts but theres still more to be figured out. Saturday seems the weakest day by far and Friday is just awful as it seems everyone is playing then. And Sunday has some brutal conflicts. Seriously - Friendly Fires v Ra Ra Riot.

Then again - Decemberists/Andrew Bird (with an hour and 15 min set) vs PB&J/Of Montreal is just mind boggling. Luckily I saw The Hazards of Love already as Im pretty sure this is what will be played in Chicago. Wish theyd given Decemberists a longer set time. Then again would have prob cut into Of Montreal. Ah well. the joys of festivals.

List of aftershows

Going to try to hit Arctic Monkeys on Friday.

it has occurred to me that a festival-specific iphone/mobile app would be a great idea, but this is the first time i've heard of one being created:
