i hope you have a good time, but this line-up looks downright dreary to me.

They would have 2 pay me 2 go see that lineup. Twice.

hahah! i'm psyched...the lesser known bands all have good buzz and, honestly, i'd go just for janes, beasties, and lou reed.

Really? What's lacking for you this year?

TRON said:

interest?

Anxiety said:

seriously...i think part of it is that nothing...NOTHING...can beat last year.

Are these all for Chicago? Or is this just the total lineup for the entire thing?

errant said:

its only in chicago, lolla hasn't toured in ages

sassybritches said:

didn't realize. thanks.

looks great to me, aside from the fact that i have never heard of most of those bands

geez i guess i am getting old

japanrocks said:

that's part of why these festivals are a great time...you get to keep up on the newcomers!

Depeche Mode and Beastie Boys are 2 of my all-time favorite bands, so I'm quite excited about this actually.

TRON said:

i'd be into seeing either group on their own, but the lineup this year doesn't make it worth it for me to go just for the beasties or DM. i'd rather just go to a beasties show or a DM show.

Anxiety said:

Yeah, I can see that. Decemberists?

TRON said:

seeing them at a music festival here in MPLS. i TOTALLY wouldn't brave a weekend of lolla for just the decemberists, as much as i love them.

If I was in the area, I would go just for TOOL. They are my favorite rockband around right now. I go to about 20-30 different shows a year and they are the best rock live act you can see in my opinion. Their sound is just amazing. I have seen them 11x and have never been disappointed.I even got to see them and Prince on the same night, talk about a dream come true. I attended the TOOL show at the Palms Casino in Vegas and then drove across the street and caught Prince at 3121. Only in Vegas.
