You know its serious when the post ends in "Cheers!"

[gswhooper]

I believe it. Paul McCartney would be a perfect headliner for a San Francisco fest.

agreed!

[PJandBompton]

fuck yes

I hate to sound cynical, but if the biggest festivals have to dig way back to performers like Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello, what does that say about the state of music today? I watch Woodstock and some of the old Loolapaloozas and tears well up in my eyes. There's great music out there, but what happened to big time performers who aren't hip hop or pop performers?

This isn't a result of music getting worse. This is a result of the internet. Now smaller bands can become known easier, and as a result what people listen to is more spread out.

I'm a long time Lollapalooza goer. Seen em all since 2005. This year Im skipping it to check out OSL instead. Just starting to do some band research now and begin my guessing game when it comes to bands. Does anyone know if OSL has the same type of radius clause that Lolla uses? For anyone that isn't familiar with this, its a clause where bands can not play within so many miles of Chicago 90 days before Lolla and 60 days after. Im not sure of the exact radius, but I know it pretty much covers all of Illinois and a lot of Wisconsin including Milwaukee.

For example, Im wondering if a band playing Oakland, Sacramento, or LA in June, eliminates them from playing OSL in August.

[stochasticism]

Oakland is without a doubt included in any radius clause APE has. Sacramento is more than likely included as well but LA is definitely not. You can use LA show dates around the time OSL is to make a guess as to who might be playing, e.g. the Willie Nelson guess from earlier in this thread.

You understand Oakland is 10 MILES from San Francisco, right? Radius clause for Lolla extends to Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. And theirs is about 6 months before and then maybe 90 days after.
Unless you do an aftershow of course. So yes, we know what youre talking about because theres a few dozen threads on this board regarding it.

You're so impressive.

Or if you are the RHCP or countless other bands who play shows in Chicago in under six months before the festival. You really are slacking on your research these days.

Sound City Players seems like a possibility for Outside lands. Grohl and his old buddies from Nirvana, Macca, Neil Young and others. Stevie Nicks and Rick Springfield will show up. Feetwood Macs tour ends in early July and they don't play S.F. just Sacramento.

[thizzin my brains out]

could totally see fleetwood mac there. perfect fit.

[citizenerased]

Neil Young/Stevie Wonder one year and Paul McCartney/Fleetwood Mac the next would be pretty awesome.

[Bob_Loblaw]

could totally see fleetwood mac there. perfect fit.

Id love to see Fleetwood Mac at OSL, but I doubt it with their HP Pavillion show in May. But I still can see Stevie Nicks playing with the Sound City Players.

[Spoonman110]

I could see Soundgarden playing the Foo Fighters spot from last year. I thought it was a bit odd that San Francisco was listed as one of the cities they would be playing on their 2013 tour, but then, when they announced the dates, it was listed as an Oakland show.

Pearl Jam also seems to make sense. I was lucky enough to get Wrigley Field tickets. In my confirmation email it said that PJ would be announcing a North American summer/fall tour in the coming months. Maybe after certain festivals lineups are announced...

Well Soundgarden could have originally planned on playing San Francisco but then couldn't come to an agreement with a venue there so they made the switch to Oakland. Pearl Jam would be great except the fact that they played in 09 and it's still to early for this festival to be repeating headliner IMO. In it's 6th year it shouldn't have to recycle headliners already, especially is last years switch away from a jam band headliner continues.

Tweet from OSL about bonnaroo lineup tomorrow "ranger dave is loving #BLAM coming tomorrow."

[hurtnandez89]

The Postal Service playing Berkely in July. Look like no OSL

[Vasoline Groove]

Belle and Sebastian tour was posted with no west coast dates ending in Chicago on 7/20. I could see them at OSL.

Given the Superfly connection this isn't surprising.

[gswhooper]

Boonaroo got Kendrick, Big KRIT, and R. Kelly. 3 artists I would be very happy to see at OSL.

[Tikiman]

The Prodigy is touring over seas. Would be awesome if they could get them to come over here and perform too.

[Vasoline Groove]

So from the top of the Roo line-up, I feel like we are going to get Macca, Mumford, and Bjork (twin peaks headliner).

Pheonix really a headliner?

Not sure about Fleetwood, playing San Jose in May.

[Corona89]

I'd really like to go back, last year was a blast. Just an expensive weekend.

Phoenix are the new black keys. expect to see them everywhere.

Whether they want him to or not.
