I'm confused. So the lineup's not out yet?

I've found multiple sources on the internet claiming they received a KROQ Street Team flier in the mail today with the linup.

Seems possible they did send out the lineup today, as it is being formally announced tomorrow morning on Kevin and Bean.

Night 1
Linkin Park
Rise Against
Bush
Garbage
Slightly Stoopid
Awolnation
Walk the Moon
The Gaslight Anthem
Two Door Cinema Club
Youngblood Hawke

Night 2
The Killers
Jack White
Fun
M83
Passion Pit
Of Monsters and Men
Grouplove
The Lumineers
Alex Clare
Imagine Dragons

If that lineup is indeed true i'll be going to Night 2, albeit a bit reluctantly. I was hoping for something a bit more exciting, such as ANY of....

Dinosaur Jr (played in 94), RATM (played in 93), Radiohead (played in 95), Orbital (played in 96), Depeche Mode (played in 98), Beck/Flaming Lips (played in 2002), Franz Ferdinand (played in 2004), Modest Mouse (played in 2004).

Wow, it's amazing how far downhill KROQ has gone with the music they play and bands they promote these days.

[Josh_Garrett]

I was really expecting modest mouse, bon iver, franz Ferdinand, phoenix, or Edward sharpe. I checked the recently played songs on the kroq website and saw all these bands on there, none of which would disappoint.

That leak was almost correct. The Lumineers playing Night 1 and Neon Trees are playing Night 2.

I'll try for Night 2 tickets.

[theklein25]

Well I'm certainly ruling out night 1. Night 2 I'll try to win tickets. LOL in other words I'm probably not attending.

[Ardentbiscuit]

Is there going to be a special guest night 2? Maybe No Doubt?

[theklein25]

I would hope night 1 because why the fuck is Bush there. People are going to experience deja vu so hard

[suprefan]

lol at alex clare

[ecw4ever3]

such a awful lineup

Rise Against is like the resident KROQ house band. If KROQ has a show, they play. It could be a KROQ Lillith Fair and they would still play.

the last year rise against didn't play a kroq show was 2005

[Drewski27]

The only names I find interesting are M83 and Jack White. And as much as I would like to see them again, it wouldn't be worth it having to have to listen to everything else.

[suprefan]

I'm confused. So the lineup's not out yet?

Why would kroq announce it on a sunday......



I still want to know if anyone even scores those $150 tickets, which are probably the ''pit'' tickets.

[menikmati]

You couldn't pay me $150 to attend this.

[Spooks]

You couldn't pay me $150 to attend this.

haha the only one I would pay to go see on this line up would be Jack White. Everything else =

COULDN'T YOU LIKE, DO HEROIN INTHE BATHROOM OR SOMETHING?

[Drewski27]

If you're supplying.

[heart cooks brain]

i'll be anywhere else that evening.

[Drewski27]

Yeah. As will I.

[theklein25]

If any of you got tickets share your tale. It probably sold out instantly

[Salazaro44]

Just logged in for giggles and I pulled a ticket for night 2. Did not buy though

[bettycarolyn]

i think this is the weakest line up kroq's acoustic christmas has ever had ... WEAK!

[Justin170]

I pulled up a bunch of shit seats, but obviously passed.

[theklein25]

Nice. I wasn't blown away by the lineup either and didnt wanna waste money when i already saw both headliners in September, and really fun., imagine dragons, and of monsters and men are the only acts i'd like to see

[Bluntmaster3000]

So, I stumbled upon another Xmas show that weekend. Its called Wrex the halls and has THE KILLERS, PASSION PIT, TEGAN AND SARA, M83, YOUNGBLOOD HAWKE, AND MORE. tickets still available and its pretty cheap.

[suprefan]

Theres like 5 xmas shows that weekend.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Supre, do you actually like this music?

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Never mind that question my eyes are blurry and Im misreading things

[Chrysilis]

YuuP

[Ardentbiscuit]

Hopefully they will knock down the Gibson for the new Harry Potter Land during the first minute of the first night.
