Lollapalooza 2013

[swhite423]

Because they cant play Pitchfork which is right before their date in Ohio?

I think National would be headlining if they were doing Pitchfork.

[suprefan]

The National have similar billing as R. Kelly at Bonnaroo, probably a bigger draw than B&S and are flirting with arena sized venues elsewhere in the US.

But something is need before Bjork so it can sell out.

The National would be headlining above Belle & Sebastian.

[heart cooks brain]

Srsly, supre, just give up.

You appear to have dimentia.

Pitchfork need to move 50,000 passes for their weekend
Coachella had to move 160,000 passes for both weekends

Pitchfork will do just fine.

Friday never sells out at Pitchfork anyway
This year will be no exception

Since when? Single day tickets have sold out every year for the past few years that I can remember.

[concertgoer]

I have been going since 2009 and I don't think Friday has sold out any of those years.

The National: Coming to Staples & Honda Center this fall.

Single day tickets for sure sell out every year. 3 Day passes don't always sell out tho.

[concertgoer]

You have it backwards

[shoegazer76]

I don't know about that. We'll see this year I guess. It has sold out completely i think 3 out of the past 4 years.

2009 http://pitchfork.com/news/35608-2009...sses-sold-out/ (last time it was 2 days)

3 day passes sell out every single year. single days do not. some of the days do though, and usually closer to the actual festival date. could use google a little more and see which days, but not right now. i remember the pavement day in 2010 selling out.

Maybe you could learn how to use your brain a little better and determine that these links you listed are for information on sales months before the weekend of the fest.

And yes who really gives a shit.

[dekelou]

Yes it was. The fireworks going off during Radiohead's show were perfect. The crazy amped crowd during Rage. I unfortunately split sets with Kanye and NIN but luckily caught the last 45 minutes of NIN which were amazing.

That was a great year, I split the Kanye and NIN sets too. Sprinting across Grant Park was not alot of fun.

[concertgoer]

Since the expansion the walk across the park is much easier and faster

Agreed. I've found the festival grounds much easier to navigate in past few years. The street eliminates those, "shuffle slowly to avoid stepping on someone" moments as well. Now, I've just got to figure out how to not look like a dork by running from one side to the other...

[Bob_Loblaw]

Atoms for Peace released Euro dates ending on 7/26 in London.

I'm hoping they're at OSL, but I think Lolla will get them.

[heart cooks brain]

many bands play both.

Who says theyre doing either.....

My Bloody Valentine in Poland the same weekend as Lolla

That earlier "leak" was an obvious fake the moment it arose. Why people continue to believe that crap is beyond me.

As for NIN, they have 6 days to get back (7/28, Korea) to the states to play Lolla, probably Sunday. (8/4) After that they are to play Germany on the 18th. Seems logical to me...?

That MBV date probably makes Lolla, OSL and Osheaga to all be longshots.

NIN would cross the international dateline when flying over Hawaii which adds a day to their travel schedule. Korea gets the dress rehearsal.

Good point...

Chicago makes a good halfway stop until they jump into Germany. Some Lolla board members were a bit worried by the Korea add, but it doesn't really change anything. I suppose come early April we'll all find out though.

[Cookieman908]

Apparently Green Day and The Cure (in additon to Phoenix, previously confirmed) will nab headlining spots at Osheaga. So they are possible for Lolla as well.

[heart cooks brain]

anyone who believes that twitter guy is real should probably re-evaluate their lives.

[concertgoer]

Really the only longshot act that he listed was The Cure
We will find out his accuracy on Monday
