Lollapalooza 2012 - Perry's Pleasure Party!!!

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Whoa - Jack White confirmage

[paulb]

The Big Pink has been leaked too....

[shotglass75]

I'm reading Marilyn Manson rumors

[suprefan]

will Lana Del Rey guest during Marilyn?

[orangejulius]

The Marilyn Manson rumor was started based on a couple guesses... It was spread on festival outlook. Not that I completely hate the idea of MM being at Lolla, I just hate the possibility of him taking up a headliner spot better left for someone better. Either way, I hope we get Beck so I dont regret skipping on Sasquatch. Jack White is already a great add. Other than him, Justice, The Weeknd, Die Antwoord, The Growlers, Bloc Party and apparently The Big Pink have been confirmed. People are updating Festival Outlook pretty quickly with the confirmations.

[nathanfairchild]

manson wouldn't headline.

[suprefan]

Why not, he could be the 6th one.

Duran Duran added some more tour dates which include the U.S. The last Euro tour date is July 27th.

[orangejulius]

manson wouldn't headline.

I hope you're right. Stranger things have happened. No one thought Yeah Yeah Yeahs or MMJ made much sense in previous years. MMJ had a small crowd... YYYs did well though, actually beating Tool for numbers. Any way it goes, I'm hoping this year will be stronger than last. I was a little let down by the 20th Anniversary lineup. Not a bad lineup, just kinda average.

[shotglass75]

YYY's headlined because Beasties dropped out. Manson would not play unless it was dark. No one wants to see Marilyn in the light

[Sladokusac]

wait, i was not there in that year, but you want to tell me that YYYs had a bigger crowd than Tool at Lolla ?!?!?
sounds extremely weird...

[orangejulius]

Yeah, I know they were a fill in for the Beastie's after Mike D's cancer treatment. I was a little disappointed that they dropped, but I like the YYYs, and they put on a great show by all accounts. It just goes to show that Lolla can be strange with their booking... I'd suspect MM would be the 6th place headliner, but I guess it doesn't really matter as there are 2 headliners every night. Hell, I might even go to see him if the alternative is weak.

And yeah, YYYs had a larger crowd than Tool, as surprising as that may be. Confirmed with security the next day...

I'm getting antsy by the lack of hints this weekend.

[Cookieman908]

Sigur Ros and Santigold confirmed today via the subway station hints/tweets. Damn this is a sweet lineup already.

[nathanfairchild]

love this^

i just hope that sigur rós has a date at red rocks leading up to this.

MCA Adam Yauch had the cancer..... not Mike D.

Dont forget Kimbra and Gary Clark Jr today.

[HotHamWater]

Lolla is probably the worst setting I can think of for Sigur Ros.

[Cookieman908]

^ Agreed but I think as long as they play the last slot of the night in the dark it'll be fine.

Only problem with this is I don't feel they will hold a top 6 spot so if they do play at dusk on the last spot of the night it could be headlining the grove stage v.s. the 2 headliners. Conflicts galore.

[Aphxtwinin]

love this^

i just hope that sigur rós has a date at red rocks leading up to this.

i think it would be after since they have a Montreal show on Aug 3 so their lolla appearance would be the 4th or 5th. they are coming from the Atlantic coast working their way to Japan on Aug 18/19 so its very possible

[ShyGuy75]

sigur rós closing the stage they put back in trees on the north end would be perfect

[concertgoer]

The Grove? I think they are too big for that stage. I could see them closing the new Perry's stage if their is an edm headliner on the North field on Sunday.

[ShyGuy75]

don't know the name of it. whatever stage beirut closed last year saturday.

[concertgoer]

Yeah that's The Grove and that seems a little small for them I think, but who knows.

[swhite423]

I couldn't imagine if Sigur Ros is on that side stage on the south side like how it was for explosions this year.

[suprefan]

Yeah that's The Grove and that seems a little small for them I think, but who knows.

How many douchebag bros know who Sigur Ros is? (and there ya go)

[Cookieman908]

I'm inclined to say that Sigur Ros closing the Grove stage is quite plausible. 2 of the 3 grove stage closers last year were Beirut and Cold War Kids.

Cold War Kids, it should be noted, was (inexplicably) the #7 name on the Lolla poster last year which is around where I expect to see Sigur Ros.

So Sunday's last slot will probably be something along the lines of Jay-Z (South Stage Headliner) v.s. Justice (North Stage Headliner) v.s. Sigur Ros (Grove Stage headliner).

Sigur Bros

Oops, you're right.

Excited for the Santi and Sigur Ros confirmations. Lolla is already looking good this year...

[swhite423]

So Sunday's last slot will probably be something along the lines of Jay-Z (South Stage Headliner) v.s. Justice (North Stage Headliner) v.s. Sigur Ros (Grove Stage headliner).

Ouch. That would just be so hard on me...

That was just an error after the fest ended. They were actually somewhere around 20th on the line-up like the two other Grove closers (Ratatat and Beirut).

[orangejulius]

Yeppers.

Last year's lineup:

I'm not surprised if Sigur Ros is around 7th as the demographic isn't really in tune with their music. I know I'll be there.
