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.

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?
This will probably tranlate into the standing weekend festivals (Coachella, Austin, Bonanaroo, etc.) seeing even larger crowds in the future.
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.
:(
I thought Day One looked great, but couldn't commit to a day off of work quite yet. Really a bummer, as it's the only summer fest (besides the Cure-a-thon) I was in the least bit interested in. Ooh, except SirenFest, though I don't think I'll make it…

Originally posted by Random Citizen:>>I had the good fortune to see the original festival that Perry lifted the idea for and later became Lollapalooza. It was called "A Gathering Of The Tribes" and was at the Shoreline Ampitheater in San Fran a couple years before Lolla….1 day in San Fran and one day in L.A….it was conceived by Ian Astbury of the Cult and was eclectic and very well organized,of course Bill Graham was there front and center running the show….I was in the 4th row center….killer fuckin' seats…..benefits of working for BASS at the time….but back then I wondered how something like this show would work as a large scale touring model……Perry made it work well for a few years…..I think this new show was too amibitious in scope……I think scaling it down to maybe 3 cities in the east,3 in the west and maybe Chicago could have created a demand and people will travel for a great lineup…see Coachella….I don't think you'll ever see it again in it's current configuration…..

Originally posted by The O' Rotten Factor:Or, keeping it to one day in more cities. I'd be interested to know how each individual day sold as singles, and how many two-day passes sold.

The loss of Lollapalooza is dissapointing on so many levels. In some ways, I just don't get it. I was just at a 4 day festival in Kansas where only 6,000 folks showed up. Yet, the festival made money! While it's not apples vs apples, still, it is very unfortunate. The east coast really is missing that big festival, and part of me wonders if we'll ever have one. Sirenfest is nice, but not quite on par with the others in TX and CA.
Man, how depressing.

Originally posted by sonickteam2:yeah. $25??? I paid $102.50 for my TWO tickets.
which doesn't account for Lollapalooza, because our tickets were priced between $15 and $25. Maybe it's the sundry add-ons [like service charges] that up the cost?
25+25=102.50? sounds like Radiohead math to me.
