NIN will be on the north stage, with Killers on the south stage. At least if their previous headlining slots were any indication. And the poster seems to show the same with the first three being...

Yeah, eventually got to a ticket ordering screen after initial text screen that tickets were sold out. Got Unable to find Event message a few times and lots of timeouts. Oh, well, too good of a...

Got a screen of text explaining they were sold out, eventually one refreshed to a proper looking ticket page saying they were sold out, then got proxy server timeout messages. Frontgate's servers...

Were they available for even a minute? Ridic.

The National is playing St. Paul August 6 so seem like a lock for Lolla. 6th headliner spot seems about right since they played the Petrillo shell just before Arcade Fire in 2010.

Yeah, Rosemont to Jackson in 45 is the max it will take, but that's about right. And getting back will be fine. Metra doesn't run very late or often, so Blue line is best bet. And it will be fine...

Saturday was by far the most jammed. Friday was empty due to the rain (Greg Kot said there were 5,000 no shows out of 18,000 tickets sold). I don't think they changed the number of tickets sold...

Boys Noize aftershow at Spy Bar on Saturday night. Tix for $8 here.

Somehow they're going to run one stage inside of Soldier Field for Spring Awakening headliners. Not sure how this is going to work logistically since Soldier is kind of massive and has a large...

Pretty surprised that Jack White is the main Sunday night headliner. Wonder if Justice will actually close one of the main stages on Sunday night? Hopefully they don't have a meltdown like their...

Log into your account on TicketWeb and the pdf's are available there. I never received them via email. Your original order email has an order number that you can click to check status, but it...

Well, some decent adds to the second wave of bands for this fest. Sleigh Bells and Flying Lotus should be fun. Wondered if Feist or Godspeed would actually be the headliners and so far it seems to...

From their FB page today:

Greetings Chemical Brothers & Sisters!

You've been demanding it and at last we have the news you've been waiting for. "The Chemical Brothers' Don't Think: A Film By...

Bon Iver played the Chicago Theatre last time they were here and it's a nice venue that sounds pretty good. Now they're playing the fucking UIC Pavilion where the sound is shit and the environment...

Anyone know how the stages are going to be set up? The third stage, which I presume is the Red Bull Grove Stage, is pretty tiny and didn't have much room at Pitchfork (and last year at North Coast),...

Sad was left of off Pearl Jam's Binaural and would have been the best song on it.

Agreed on the Mid sucking a fat bag of dicks. Went to see James Murphy there Friday night and it was packed with d-bags and the dance floor is incredibly cramped since the back half of it is VIP.

Yeah, that's not so special for the 20th anniversary of Lolla. And $325 for the edition signed by Perry is even worse.

I was excited to get this year's Coachella emek poster off bandmerch.com for $75. Unfortunately, their shipping is terrible. Decent tube, but they put a t-shirt in the tube with the poster, no...

Sounds like Lolla is about to sell out at 90k per day which is pretty fucking impressive, especially since the lineup didn't seem to excite many folks (but perhaps I only read the comments of...

First time seeing AC and I thought it was great. Cool stage setup, great visuals on the side screen. People were dancing like crazy. Lots of fun. Definitely my favorite set of the day. James...

Damn, that's 95,000 tickets sold if it's the same limits as last year.

Yep, they sent UPS tracking info last Friday, but it didn't leave Austin until Tuesday it appears.

Got the Lolla wristbands today. Look very similar to the Coachella ones this year in terms of design. The hologram credential is pretty lame. At least last year's had some fun stuff when you...

Well, if you don't mind missing Fleet Foxes (and perhaps DJ Shadow as well), the UIC Pavilion is about a 15-20 minute walk from Union Park. I'm thinking about doing that.

It's a festival. PJ Harvey is there that day too. Fuck, I'd love to see her and the Chems on the same day. So, maybe one stage fest with Chems closing the night?
...

Yankees are out of town beginning Sept. 8, but weekend of Sept. 11 is not good for big show.

Saturday in the Heineken beer garden behind the Sahara. Boobs next to a boob.

Yeah, I love it when the lights come down and make kind of a roof for Coachella. Always a sweet effect, so was disappointed I didn't see it happen this year. Oh, well, the teepee effect is cool too.

Book a hotel in the north Loop along west Wacker or thereabouts for maximum convenience. Anything along the green line in the Loop would be pretty convenient. The Palmer House would work along with...

Yeah, I imagine it will be eliminated next year given its placement this year. I'm still somewhat in favor of tent camping since I liked it a lot in 08 and 09, but there are some conveniences with...

There was an uber-lame couple that made it up for the Chems and then proceeded to attempt to have a conversation during the whole set, including during Horsepower. Insanity.

We had some yellow shirt security assholes come through our campsite around 2 am asking if we had any glass containers, but upon reflection it was clear they were just looking to confiscate shit to...

That location looked like ass. So far from the venue and all isolated back in the corner, kind of in a pit. But maybe it was a good time back there. We were way the hell in the back of car...

Saw them at Ultra and again Friday at the Outdoor and it's amazing how much better their show is than two years ago. It was fantastic. She's got her shit together enough to bring more focused...

I was thinking maybe some of the glow folks shot their load early since the set was delayed and perhaps there was a chance they'd cut Don't Think. It was 12:20 when they went on, so it was possible...

The sound in the Mojave was pretty low a lot of the time, like for Cut Copy (2/3 of the way back) which was surprising since my ears usually bleed at Coachella. But maybe that's because I'm usually...

Chems vs. Robyn. My two top acts (missing Sunday since I suck and have to get back to work Monday) and it's sounding like they'll both be at 10:30 which would make me sad.

Looks like the Chems set won't be broadcast on the online feed.

I don't see APC as one of the 6 headliners since Eminem, Foo Fighters and Muse all seem to have at least some overlap in fan bases with APC and those 3 seem destined for the South stage. Unless they...

Holy balls, that's an epic version of Yeah! I don't think it had as much of that twisty beat at the end of the song on Saturday. That Coachella show last year was the best I ever saw them play I...

The water price is insane, but that's because there's plenty of underage and ravers who aren't drinking beer, so they have to make up the revenue somehow. The food has no excuse for being as awful...

Yeah, I was pondering that, but I didn't get out of Atlanta until 6 pm and was running on very little sleep. So, I stayed in a flea bag hotel near Disney instead. Gross.

Sirius was playing some live and taped sets from today on the Electric Area channel. I heard sets from Cato K, Martin Solveig, Benny Benassi, Roger Sanchez and AVICCI while driving from Atlanta to...
