anyone into that new flaming lips? i say. ugh.

[the sob]

that is an awesome linup but i wouldnt go for all three days

[AFSjulian]

Majority of those bands are awesome, but the idea of seeing Jeremy Enigk from Sunny Day seals it for me. If I'm not touring, I'll be there.

Any word on the Smashing Pumpkins showing up?

[RockVocalPower]

I cannot understand why Matisyahu is popular. He's a bigger gimmick than Panic at the Disco is.

[DroppedUrPocket]

Holy fucking shit. Let's see a schedule now.

[Thisisgoodbye]

I cannot understand why Matisyahu is popular. He's a bigger gimmick than Panic at the Disco is.

yea i totally agree

[mydreamrewrite]

wow, what a lineup. Like every band ever.

[RockVocalPower]

Considering I paid $65 to see the Chilis three years ago, $130 is a steal to see:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Wilco
Death Cab For Cutie
Queens of the Stone Age
The Shins
Ryan Adams
The New Pornographers
Iron & Wine
Coheed And Cambria
The Smoking Popes
Stars
Cursive
Nada Surf
Sparta
Of Montreal
The New Amsterdams

[xabadstarrx]

manu chao. haha.

[ACA]

Kanye West. Horrible rapper.

I guess this pretty much confirms that terrible news that the two would be touring through the end of summer. Bamboozle kills this, though there are a lot of great bands here.

-ACA

[AloneInTheDark]

P!ATD is so out of place here...

[AnotherTale...]

yea umm panic is playing...?

[straylight70x7]

im listening....dresden dolls.

plus i would have to see ryan adams setist before i agree to go see him again...

[backstagebethy]

the way it's set up, though, sometimes really good bands are paired opposite each other...at least that's how it was last year. and some of the set times don't make sense (ie, pixies before weezer, giving weezer the headlining position. i don't know about all that). but it's a good time.

[thebestkylever]

anathallo + stars = :)

[AmericanZen]

No Smashing Pumpkins?

[J_169]

were panic! put in by mistake here?, kanye west just sucks. awesome lineup tho..death cab, ryan adams wud be my picks.

PS..a word of warning. towers of london are the worst band iv ever seen and heard ever...seriosly just dont even be curious to find out if they are really that bad...cos they just are. actually u can get a good laugh outa wotchin their 'show'.

[SummerxStars]

nada surf and wilco? together? dear lord...if i didnt have to work 12 hour shifts everyday i would soooo be there

[Pat Marquez]

fuck ya i cannot wait to go to this.

[TJ Wells]

im SO SO SO SO SO happy i live in chicago...last year i couldnt go because i only wanted to go to both days and one of the days was the same as warped

[aminorthreat55]

Oh man this is amazing. I wanna go.

[averageloser]

damn im supposed to work like a mad person all summer, but i might have to take off in order to go to this

[bRainDeAdMonKeY]

20 bucks says im the not only one but.

Is anybody else just slightly annoyed that lollapalooza takes place the same weekend as Wizard World Chicago, the biggest and most important comic book convention of the year?

::crickets chrip:: dammit! im out 20 bucks..

Damn, that kinda does suck. I'm not a huge comic fan, but I'm into video games and other nerdy things.

[Groogz]

I really like Matisyahu. His music is really chill and relaxing. I'll admit he's only selling so much cuz of his gimmick, but as far as I'm concerned - as long as the music is good, I'll listen.

I'm not a fan of Panic though. I just can't seem to get into their stuff. Nothing too original in my mind. Same stuff we've all heard before. But of course - to each his own.

You'd think they learned thier lesson last year when they had it the same weekend as Warped Tour. I love the fact it seems like Chicago, we're getting our own SXSW but the scheduling staff needs to do better research.

oh! and comics and video games = teh muthafuckin go0dness!

Haha. I didn't want to go to Warped last year. Wiz World was awesome though.

[bRainDeAdMonKeY]

Haha. I didn't want to go to Warped last year. Wiz World was awesome though.

Wiz World was fuckin gnarly last year. the after party was even better though. I met Brian Michael Bendis. He hung out for awhile with us and I got him to sign a issue of Daredevil. It was pretty rad.

I was volunteering so I wouldn't have to pay to get in. It was cool cause me and some friends did it. I met MC Chris, Mitch Clem (www.nothingnice.com), the guy who does Theater Hopper, Space Ghost (well, his voice), got a free PSP game, a bunch of other cool little things.

Aww man. It kills me to see these bands listed - especially BSS, Stars and Feist. The three of them are absolutely incredible live.

Still though, no way I'm paying $130+ to stand outside in August and battle crowds.

[operator]

Stars is still together?!?!

[Blake Solomon]

I'm glad that Anathallo will be at this show, that's really cool. Their new album is amazing and they deserve to be huge. Also, I dont know about Panic!, it seems strange that they are there.

[Rufio21]

I cannot understand why Matisyahu is popular. He's a bigger gimmick than Panic at the Disco is.

He has been doing it for AWHILE... Panic got big within 5 monts of being a band. If you dont know what your talking about dont talk. Oh hows this for a gimmick, he wont play Northeastern on saturday because he its shabbish. Oh yeah total gimmick.

Anyways, he has talent, Panic not so much. Have you seen them live?! haha they look like shitty robots who dont know how to play their instruments.

God your just haing on him because its the new thing to do.

[lackofcolour 13]

couldn't have said it better myself.

yeah. Festivals aren't the most intimate or engaging concert experiences.

A gimmick doesn't have to be something that is fake.
The guy is an orthadox jew, which is pretty rare and a rapping orthadox jew which is rarer. he's popular based on him having some "talent" and because of his unusually image, which no one accused of being fake.

[piebaldkid42]

this looks like a great line-up

Tell ya what's sweet, buying 2 tickets to Lollapalooza 2 weeks ago for $45 each for the 3 day pass!

[TyroneShoolaces]

i bought my 3-Day Pass today.
they are still yet to announce 50+ more bands.
i'm pretty sure they have some other big names up thier sleeves that they are holding out on us.
i REALLY hope it's the Pumpkins.

i cant wait.

[jklo16]

i am going to try to go...if i can come up w/ a few hundred dollars by the time tickets sell out. Blue October + Death Cab + The New Amsterdams is enough reason for me.

[savedarfur6]

Stars!!! Hellyes!

[backstagebethy]

word, i got mine in the mail today, it looks like something willy wonka would do. pretty amazing stuff.

[nulemoni]

TOtally, I just got back from FedEx. They look so sweet and it came with a Lollapolooza tee. Now I'm not as mad about paying that $10 service charge and $12 shipping.

[Kelley Nicole]

haha i just told my mom about this and she got kind of excited and said she would go. she loooooves of montreal, especially live, she likes death cab, and she really wants to see stars live sometime and is interested in seeing broken social scene and feist.

not that we'll actually go, but man, my mom is so awesome with music. if arcade fire was playing again there's no doubt she'd have given me her credit card immediately and had me order tickets for both of us.

[Jonas900]

that's an assload of good bands

[oldwirehands]

I'm so happy to live in Chicago. I missed it last year.

[Sureshot182]

stars and anathallo, my day has been made :)

[youareallfreaks]

and i live in chi, booyah

[FstFtsVsFences]

this would be worth flying out for. this just may happen...

[Lemieux66]

[CorporateFish]

I hope to attend this.
