Lollapalooza 2012 - Perry's Pleasure Party!!!

[ialvarado2]

I'm going all weekend as well.

[shotglass75]

Sigur Ros Sunday Metro Announced sometime the week before lolla.

Never happen. Sigur Ros ends at like 5. Not enough time to get all the gear loaded and unloaded plus sound check.

[eudaemonia]

^is Sigur Ros' stage set-up more elaborate than the norm? Because Franz Ferdinand's set ends at 7:30pm right before they open for Jane's Addiction at Aragon Ballroom 11pm on Saturday.

[concertgoer]

Twin Shadow is also playing at night at Lolla and then a few hours later at Lincoln Hall
It easily can be done.

[jigawig]

I'll be there for the weekend, but only going to lolla on Sunday (first time in Chicago). Gonna try to find some cheap late night tix for the whole weekend. Btw, what time do the late nights go on until?

[heart cooks brain]

depends on the venue and age limit on shows.

anything all ages must be done by midnight.

bands only have 1 of each instrument. always.

[heart cooks brain]

hope nathan fairchild is going for the black keys friday...

if posters are to be believed then it might be my only option.

[shotglass75]

It's going to be Jack White.

[stinkbutt]

Sabbath isn't playing anymore?

[nathanfairchild]

they are, they just aren't on any of the posters. wouldn't let the artists put their name on there.

[psychic friend]

ok so without going 15 pages back, who is going? I'm flying out thursday night. also planning on hitting up a couple after party or other shows (have a +1 with no +1 just saying.. black angels, washed out, calvin harris).

Them plus a string section. Its a bit of stuff, but it can be done.

If they went on at midnight, and doors were at 11, thats enough time. Besides, who says they wouldnt have backline rented for this anyway. Also, why is the Metro schedule empty on Sunday night? Somethings gotta be going on possibly. It's happened before. Foo Fighters last minute announcement?

[shotglass75]

Didn't see Band of Horses coming.

[nathanfairchild]

still no sunday show yet.

maybe they'll wait until next thursday. i think thats when they announced the foo fighters aftershow last year.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

check the lolla board, there's stuff over there.

[apostle2]

I'm just going to re-post this here because the lolla board is horrible:

I haven't been since '06, so this has undoubtedly changed. What is the rail situation like at most of the stages? Just a simple front rail? A center rail running down the middle of the crowd? A cross-rail like the main stage at coachella? I'm mostly referring to the main four stages, as I'm guessing there isn't anything special at the smaller stages. This is an important question for shorties.

[suprefan]

The 2 main stages have the center rail running through the middle with the cross before you get to soundboard. the others dont have it.

[trendski]

packing for my trip tomorrow.... pulling this out the closet!

[casey]

I went to Lolla last year for the first time. I never really had the desire to go to the festival before that and I didn't really think I would miss it after we left, even though I had a great time. Today is the first time I'm reaaaaally missing it and am jealous of you guys! Lollapalooza is a really fun festival. Have fun this weekend!
