Lollapalooza 2012 - Perry's Pleasure Party!!!

[bonerfromgrowingpains]

Who the fuck would draw that shit up? He's been in Sabbath longer than Ozzy has for fucks sake.

FWIW It's a pretty even split among regulars on whether that is a (very) elaborate fake.

I'm leaning towards this being real... I've been a Lolla regular since 2009. The undercard is what looks convincing... It's really complete.

It could still be fake, but the combination of the confirmed bands in appropriate places, the underwhelming Perry's (as usual) and very complete undercard tells me this is likely real.

Perry's seems to overlap with the Coachella booked EDM in the same year more than ever.

Just Skrillex and Bloody Beetroots if I recall last year.

[Boourns]

I think it's real. It's too mediocre to be a fake.

It's great by Lolla's standards.

[orangejulius]

The one oddity I've spotted is that Kimbra isn't on this lineup. That's a confirmation from last week.

[Driftwood]

It also has 3 hip-hop acts right next to each other for no reason - J Cole, Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino. Like someone was thinking "hmm my fake line-up is going to need some hip-hop".

[orangejulius]

If it's mediocre, then Coachella is not far off. They both fulfill similar roles across the board. The headliners match up well too. Rare headliner for both (Dre and Snoop/Black Sabbath) Black Keys for both, Jack White/Radiohead.

I'd argue that Lolla fills in the rest of the bands that I've wanted to see each year. I'm surprised by Franz too... I've wanted to see them for years but they don't play Chicago often. There's just a lot of bands I've missed in past years, have never seen or are also going to be at Coachella. That will solve conflicts so much easier.

It's all debatable who has the better lineup, but I'm glad to get the best of both worlds.

[Driftwood]

Coachella has 20 higher names or so that haven't played a US major. Franz and Sigur Ros have already played Coachella.

If this is a fake it will probably be better than the real line-up and Coachella's line-up still blows this fake out the water.

[Bumblebee]

Franz are doing Osheaga the same weekend, so they were anticipated.

Little surprised Garbage isn't on the list.

Any Pitchfork crossover, or acts that already booked to play 2012 shows in Chicago?

[suprefan]

Theres never any crossover between Pitchfork and Lolla.....

[Bumblebee]

Theres never any crossover between Pitchfork and Lolla.....

I know, that's why it's a litmus test to gauge authenticity.

There's also acts that were supposed to be there like Leonard Cohen.

Leonard Cohen was nothing more than a pipedream beyond Gossip Wolf from Time Out Chicago stirring shit up. He also said a bunch of bullshit about Pitchfork like Spiritualized and either Mazzy Star or Fiona Apple playing.

[apostle2]

If it's the real lineup, then it's pretty clear that Coachella > Lollapalooza > Bonnaroo > not going to any festival at all.

And since Coachella is held at just about the worst possible time of year for an east coast grad student...

Beck and the Pumpkins also had "insiders" on twitter claim they would be on the bill.

[nathanfairchild]

the "insider" was that douche who used to write for pitchfork. nothing he says should've been taken seriously.

you mean both coachellas?

[apostle2]

The two weekends before the last week of the semester? Yeah, I'd say so.

Oh, the mtv story got pulled. Looks like somebody got in trouble.....

[Somewhat Damaged]

The only true Black Sabbath date right now is in June with Iommi in the band line up anyway. So having had only one gig and 7 months to have had treatment and all that isn't a giant stretch. Franz looks low because the last time you recall them being on a festival line up here was Coachella, where theyre billed 3rd on their respective day. Also, if they had day by day breakdowns, I am sure they wouldnt be as low as you seem to think they are at on that piece of paper.

It just struck me as odd that a guy who's 20 years younger is sidelined by cancer for a couple years while Iommi would only be sidelined for a few months. If it's true, I just think that's shitty that Coachella got the shaft (although I've finally come around to accepting that Dre & Snoop were the replacements for Sabbath rather than the Keys). And Franz is the 17th act listed, which would be like the 5th act of their day, so you're right that isn't too far from where they were in '09 at Coachella.

Well MCA's cancer has delayed a lot, but he is still working with his distribution company and doing press releases for the new film acquisitions and stuff, he attended the Oscars 2 years ago, and hitting red carpets, so, we'll see how he does at the Rock Hall ceremony this coming weekend....

Haha, Tommy and I were talking about this over the weekend. I think he told me about somebody else making that mistake -- guess the wrong answer must've stuck in my head.

[Driftwood]

Eh while Lolla's 2nd headliners each day are usually pretty big - for the most part there is a big drop down compared to the top acts at Coachella. Cee Lo and Nas and Damian Marley were subs last year (so 3rd to 4th biggest acts on their day). Look at the Coachella line-up. Franz 17th would be a bit of a surprise. Even with the rare factor Afghan Whigs above Bloc Party and Franz seems weird.

Lineup out at midnight tonight. Im expecting to see that mtv leak be the real lineup.

[Miroir Noir]

The Head and the Heart (confirmed via Fleetwood Mac cover song).

[orangejulius]

I'm hearing more and more chatter on the lolla boards that radio stations are announcing the headliners as Sabbath, Black Keys, Jack White, Florence, RHCP, Avicii and Bassnectar. I will be pleasantly surprised if this is not true and we aren't getting RHCP dumped on us. This was apparently on Kiss 103, and followed up by their sponsers. I think that leak was legit.

[miilkshake]

Last year was the first year since I first went in '06 that I didn't got to Lollapalooza. I was really hoping for a comeback of sorts, but if those are the actual headliners... yikes, that's bad. Guess we'll see at midnight.

I just threw up a little.

[Thisismyname]

Can definitely see why there would be complaints with the headliners, but otherwise that's very very good for a lolla lineup.

[suprefan]

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA, and you guys thought the other shit was fake?
