Lollapalooza Set Times Released

[suprefan]

Yeah this happend this morning and I dont see a thread about this or whatever. Pretty decent, but Saturday night is a MESS. I also find it strange why they have to stop at 10pm each night, I think they wouldve been able to push it to 11pm sconsidering they are in the city like that but I guess not. Thoughts anyone? Great stage names by the way.

[menikmati]

YYY > Patti Smith > Muse = Nice

[suprefan]

Nope, Im not going. I have been asked but nope, not this year. Go see Kinky early in the day if you get there by that time.

[luckyface]

I don't understand why they have the acts performing the exact same times in most cases. The lack of activity on the smaller stages will cause the headliners to be way overcrowded, too. Other than that, it's a solid lineup.

[suprefan]

Perry doesnt want overlap and sound bleed, and yes crowding on the big stages is pretty much inevitable. Like the Friday AT&T stage is just weak until DP. I dont even think I would camp out for a good spot anyway because you could move up during their set since everyone is dancing. This is probably the toughest to choose schedule wise when compared to Roo and Coach.

yeah, i really hate how there's like an hour in between acts at a stage.

Yeah I figured that was probably the most logical explanation for this. But at the same time they pit a bunch of bands against each other earlier in the day. So I wasn't sure if that was the case.

I'd imagine DP and LCD would really lose some of their live appeal in such a setting. But what do I know?

[Boourns]

I'm not going, but if I were:

Friday:
Polyphonic Spree 2:30-3:30
Sparklehorse 3:30-4:30
m.i.a. 4:30-5:00
Blonde Redhead 5:30-6:30
LCD Soundsystem 7:30-8:05
Daft Punk 8:30-10

Saturday:
Fields 12:30-1:30
Stephen Marley 2:30-3:30 (but it's very tempting to go enjoy Silverchair ironically for lolz)
Cold War Kids 3:30-4:30
CSS 5:00-6:00
YYYs 6:30-7:30
some of either Patti Smith or Spoon, whichever is closer to the AT&T stage
Muse 8:30-10

Sunday:
PB&J 5-6:00
Modest Marr 6:15-7:15
TV on the Radio 7:15-8:00
Pearl Jam 8:00-?

So why is it there are two sets of stages with bands playing at exactly the same time? Is there one of each on opposite ends of the field or something? And Interpol vs Muse is quite shit, but Muse clearly wins.

I am going to see if they posted the map for the venue, I am sure a couple of those stages are in between, I knwo the 2 main ones are on opposite ends.

I think maybe LCD more than DP, it would be cool to see how DP is outside and its the same thing ya know? Like put them on the pyramid with the light show anywhere and its kind of hard to dissapoint.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Pretty decent my ass.

Fuck this shit. I'm selling my passes. Stupidest fucking unthoughtful setlist I've ever seen. Suck my balls, Perry. Sorry son of a bitch.

[John Peel is My Co-pilot]

I'm just glad they didn't have Muse up against Daft Punk since the headliners are very clearly DP, Pearl Jam and Ben freakin' Harper.

There are a couple of headscratchers though, I must admit.

Kings of Leon vs. Iggy
!!! vs. Yo La Tengo
The View vs. The Cribs

[ThomThom]

Inerpol/Muse, Patti Smith/Spoon, My Morning Jacket/Modest Mouse, Cafe Tacuba and TVOTR...what the fuck? Too many conflicts, not to mention the actual set times suck ass

[DeltaSigChi4]

How about ...

Muse v. Interpol
Modest Mouse v. My Morning Jacket

Complete set conflicts; not even the decency for a partial.

Fuck you Perry Farrell.

E

EDIT: Thanks Thom. We posted basically the same shit at the same time. Canceling arrangements, spending money on something better than this horseshit. I'd rip up the passes right now if I could find them. Good thing I can't.

uh-huh, nice excuse...you know you planned on scalping them all along.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Firstoff, I would never invest in such a shit festival. Why would I? Ever heard of ACL? If I was going to "scalp" an event, wouldn't that be the most profitable, numbnuts. Secondly, if I was going to "scalp them all along", wouldn't I purchase more than a pair of tickets, you stupid worthless bastard? Lastly, ever hear of a scalper ripping his passes?

E

P.S. Suck my balls.

Yep, even when he told me in Berkeley he was going I still didnt believe him. And he really isnt into "dance music" FOR SHAME!! I loved how you nonchalantly told me how you scored tix too. "Yeah I wasnt even trying, like chilling by my comp and I got the email so I said, what the hell. Then I searched for them and bought em." Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

You are not big time, maybe thats all you could afford. And yeah ACL is great but you still said you would sell em a looong time ago. Even if you sold at face for each pass, its still profit for you.

[DeltaSigChi4]

Supre, why you be hatin'?

I bought the fucking things to go to the fucking festival. I had planned on going to every festival this year with the exception of Roo and Virgin. If you check on UKK's Lolla discussion, you'd notice that I was wishing upon a star that AF would play there anyway, so why the fuck would I resell passes for a show that my favourite live band is playing? Give me a break man. Common sense; do you have any?

E

[JustSteve]

SCALPER FIGHT!!! AAAHHHHHH!

[hawkingvsreeve]

9 stages?

Srsly?

[full on idle]

3 days, 9 stages and no hip hop.

[DeltaSigChi4]

What is Lupe Fiasco? Screamo?

NOTE: The fact that they conflicted the ONLY Hiphip/soul acts on the whole fucking bill was what first drove me to anger.

E

[sydaud]

Just bring on Spoon. The rest will just fall into place. Seriously, they are releasing the best new album of the summer. It's even better than Icky Thump.

[Boourns]

So what's the Mindfield stage and why is nobody playing on it all weekend?

[John Peel is My Co-pilot]

That's actually a typo. It should say MINEfield stage.

Princess Di said they were bad and people listened...

[Boourns]

It's funny how they have nine stages but still can't make it so you see more than 4-5 good bands a day.

[FakePlasticMe]

The reason it has to end at 10 is because a bunch of rich old fucks make up residency on Lake Shore Drive. These people buy property overlooking a public park, then complain when events are too loud for their liking.

Aaaah alright, they shouldnt complain, the festival brings in a lot of income to the city. Guess Indio is a million times more grateful about it happening every year than Chicago.

[hangthedj112]

Whheww, I thought Delta was being less of a cunt for a day or two there.
