Lollapalooza: August 7th-9th

[sodamnclever]

I am going to start this thread a little early, we still have a month to go but I am so excited this year.

Who's coming out? I am still trying to figure out my schedule, I am having some conflicts.

[rising_tied]

Ehh Id got for the Beasties and Santigold.... thats it. So it woudlnt be worth it for me

[gizagaza]

my major conflict was between the beasties and tool, but luckily i got tickets to the congress show so i can see tool!

[kylecrowe]

Coheed and Arcitc Monkeys at the same time; terrible

[KyleMcr]

Thats one of my big ones. I'm really excited for this! Less than a month now...

[kylecrowe]

Yea I'm gonna see Arctic Monkeys because I've never seen them live, while I've seen Coheed about 4 times, even though they are one of my favorite bands.

[sodamnclever]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have been added on Saturday to replace Beastie Boys.

So excited.

[Phil507]

This is probably the best festival lineup of the entire year. However, I'm kind of happy I'm not going to it (and I don't live anywhere close) because it would drive me nuts with all the conflicts as well as the fact that many bands sets end and others begin at the same time and I'd be racing across the damn park all the time.

[LPcatitoRJA]

who's replacing the beastie boys?

[sodamnclever]

who's replacing the beastie boys?
yeah yeah yeahs.

[LPcatitoRJA]

yeah yeah yeahs.

oh yeah my bad
i forgot to read your last post
im not going to lollapalooza, i live in san diego :P
but i was just curious

[sodamnclever]

alright, dumb question and i think i already know the answer here but do 3 day passes sell out? i know they are up to $205, but i don't think i am going to be able to buy it until next week and i don't want to get screwed over on it.

[KyleMcr]

I seriously doubt 3 day passes would sell out. I wouldn't wait til you get there though....

[KyleMcr]

Are any of you going to the aftershows? I'm going to Band of Horses the first night and Deerhunter the last night.

[gizagaza]

I was going to the Beastie Boys...well that didn't work out (Good Luck MCA) also there are a lot of tickets available on craigslist cheaper. like around 150 to 190

[freakster]

I'm in kinda the same boat. My problem is my friends not having the cash though. I saved up for this a while back when I realized Tool was gonna be playing but now that YYYs are gonna be there too so that's my major scheduling conflict but anyway....I'm surprised they haven't sold out yet because the last couple years the 3 day passes sold out like a month to three weeks before.

[sodamnclever]

So my friend who I am going with just informed me she can't afford to buy her ticket. We've been planning this ever since the lineup was announced. So pissed right now.

[sodamnclever]

Alright I am gonna help you alittle bit haha, you can take whatever you want from this. I would choose Fleet Foxes on Friday, I have a feeling they might blow your mind. I hear they put on an excellent show! Plus if they are anything like they are on the CD, the harmonies will be wonderful!

Animal Collective is interesting, I have a feeling there will be a large crowd for them, if its anything like Bonnaroo (they had an enormous crowd at Bonnaroo on the second main stage!) I would suggest getting there early if your really interested in seeing them close. Now I think they are a band that I would love to experience at night. I hope its not hot during their set because I got extremely bored watching them at Bonnaroo because it was hot and in the middle of the day. I will warn you that it may get boring but I think they will also put on an excellent show. I enjoyed them at Bonnaroo but I just felt like it got alittle bit boring. I like the jamming they do with some of the songs.

Finally just watch Vampire Weekend, nuff' said about that! They are great!!

Have fun man, it wil be a great weekend. I wish I was able to go

OH! and on a last note, Passion Pitt will be fun! they were excellent at Bonnaroooo! especially as a late night set

[emericagal182]

i won two 3 day passes on the radio(my first time ever winning) i'm super stoked cause i really wanted to go but didn't have the money! now i just need to find a way to get to chicago...

I saw both Fleet Foxes and Bloody Beetroots at Coachella this year and they were both amazing, so for that one I think it'll come down to whether I feel like dancing or relaxing to some great music.

I saw Animal Collective about a year ago and I definately know what you mean about the boring bits. I LOVE their music and am determined to give them another chance live, though I kinda get the feeling that they'd be much better suited for a club than a festival.

I"m REALLY looking forward to Passion Pit :-)

Thanks man, I'll let you know how it is. Wish you could go too

I have a question for anyone who could be of assistance. They just announced an aftershow at the Metro for Sunday night. They just have the band logos instead of listing the bands. One of them is obviously Foo Fighters, but I am drawing a blank on the other two. The second logo looks especially familiar for some reason.

EDIT: The logos are for Foo Fighters, Led Zeppelin and Queens of the Stone Age. This must be for the new band that those guys have formed.

Yeah, it is a new supergroup. It sounds like it is going to be an amazing show. I'm curious how much tickets are.

[freakster]

It'll probably be in the $30-50 range considering all the other shit going on after lolla. haha but I'm gonna try and get tickets to this show anyway.

[freakster]

what station was giving those? hahaha

[nlcentralchamps]

I wish I could go to this.

[emericagal182]

what station was giving those? hahaha

fm 102.1

[gizagaza]

as is Q101

[theguilt engine]

i can't wait. i'm only going friday, but it's going to be awesome.

[sodamnclever]

I wish this weekend would come sooner.

[mfburghoff]

I have an extra 3 day pass for sale if anyone is interested message me or email me at mfburghoff@gmail.com

[kylecrowe]

Just got a call from Metro. Won tickets to the Arctic Monkeys after show. What a glorious day.
Take me

[sodamnclever]

Weather: Friday 79 with showers, Saturday 92 with AM thunderstorms, Sunday 91 and sunny. I am really hoping this rain doesn't come.

[kylecrowe]

Its going to be even hotter on Sat. & Sun. like 95+

[SandManTEND13]

If I remember correctly, last year was a hot one

[sodamnclever]

This time tomorrow night I will be listening to the Decemberists and claiming a hopefully decent spot for Kings of Leon.

[freakster]

Lolla was pretty fuckin' great this year. I caught sets from the following performers:
Manchester Orchestra
The Knux
Amazing Baby
The Virgins (sound waaaaayy better live. the album is over-produced)
A-Trak
The Decemberists
Of Montreal
Depeche Mode
Los Campesinos
Arctic Monkeys
Santigold
Lykke Li
Rise Against
Animal Collective
Tool
Boys Noize
MSTRKRFT (killed it...the crowd was dancing the whole time)
Deadmau5
Jane's Addiction

Perry's stage was a blast and the Citi stage, imo, had the best setup. Both mainstages were blocked right in the middle and it's a bummer that about 10,000 people had to stand behind the blockage.

[sodamnclever]

My body hates me for this weekend, I still am not caught up on sleep. I need to look at the schedule to remind myself of who I saw, but my top 5 sets were probably: Friendly Fires, Airborne Toxic Event, Kings of Leon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and of course the Killers....oh and Asher Roth was a blast too! Anyone catch his set?

[SandManTEND13]

Los Campesinos
MSTRKRFT
Deadmau5
Could you tell me more about MSTRKRFT? and DeadMau5 cause those are the only two I was super interested in on Sunday night if I had gone! and how was Los Campesinos?

[freakster]

MSTRKRFT played almost if not all of The Looks then they mixed Benassi, Queen (Boho-Rhapsody/fuckin' insane the crowd went nuts), some old school house, remix of YYYs, D.A.N.C.E., and some Daft/Kanye. probably the best DJ set all weekend.

DeadMau5 started off fast everyone was into it and then he started playing slow stuff but people stayed because it was the only spot were people could dance. I left early to catch a piece of Jane's Addiction.

Los Campesinos were amazing. Great live show. The singer and the guitarist both crowd surfed. The girl that plays the violin was going nuts on that thing. Lots of fun all around.

[gizagaza]

Was anyone on here lucky enough to get tickets to the Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, John Paul Jones supergroup performance at the Metro last night? If so, how awesome was it?

On the way home some guy was talking to his friend about it and he was saying how there were absolutely no cameras/recording allowed...which doesn't really surprise me, but that had to be such a fantastic show. I wish I had tickets.

Fleet Foxes sold out of shirts by Friday night?! damnnn I remember MGMT sold out of almost every shirt by the end of Saturdays performance. I really love that review
