i believe i've heard that tired line before…

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

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?

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.

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

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.

according to www.lollapalooza.com, "2008 line-up coming April 7th"

also, line-up for ACL (Sept 26-28) will be released on April 15.

Well, if that's legit - would be the best festival headliner lineup since the Coachella that Radiohead headlined.[/QB]

Bonnaroo '06:

Radiohead, Beck, My Morning Jacket (late night), Elvis Costello, Sonic Youth, Devendra Banhart, Buddy Guy, Cat Power, Malkmus, Son Volt, Seu Jorge, Andrew Bird…

It was pretty damn good.

I went to this, but those headliners aren't accurate (I don't think My Morning Jacket was even there). Elvis Costello played with Allen Toussaint. The headliners were Radiohead, Petty, and Phil Lesh & Friends. Granted, great festival - but I don't think the headliners would beat this rumored Lolla lineup.

This says My Morning Jacket was there.

I stand corrected.

anyone know when tickets go on sale today and for how much? i missed out on the pre-pre-sale the other week so im hoping to grab a pair this time around.

early-bird tickets are supposed to go on sale today (3/25). there isn't the mad scramble to get them as there is for the presale tickets, so no need to refresh the site every 30 seconds… they should last at least a full day (last year they didn't sell out and were available for 2 weeks).

keep an eye on lollapalooza.com

anyone able to get tix. i keep getting some error message when i click on the buy tix. and their # rings busy at frontgate :(

in IE7 (yes, corp upgraded us) i get "service unavailable". i'm also taken to onlinehome.us instead of frontgatetickets or independenttickets, as if they've been hijacked. EDIT: prob has been resolved, and it wasn't a hijack - it was a redirect that was failing.

everything is fine in firefox. http://08lolla.frontgatetickets.com/ loaded just fine. i was able to put a ticket in my shopping cart and start the checkout process.

so early birds are $175 this year, next tier will be $190 when the early birds sell out, and finally $205 for those buying late.

any luck xNWx?

yes i was able to get through. and in all of that i realized i bought tix to another show that webster hall had told me i couldnt get into.

wonder if theres any recourse months and months later. i bought tix during pre-sale for midlake and webster hall had no record of it anywhere. since i couldnt remember where i bought tix i figured maybe the order didnt go through.

wonder if i can get a refund on that one. me thinks not.
