Will Nas and Darkside be able to hook up the CSFMB with some backstage passes?

definitely will be at Blood Orange @ Empty Bottle

I'm aiming for Phosphorescent at Double Door and Courtney Barnett at Schuba's.
I'd go to Blood Orange or Chvrches too, but not sure I could swing 3 shows in 3 straight days anymore.

Except pitchfork and possibly Riot Fest. :D


And DB is all confused. Hipsters and Lolla are opposites.

That's the problem. There is about 8 of these that I would try and go to if the were spread out throughout the year - but not sure how I can swing all 8 of them in 3 nights?

They should put all of these bands together in a festival or something. It would make it so much easier.

Speaking for myself, I wouldn't get past the dress code of a 90's/early 00's NBA jersey or tank top with wayfarers.

there aren't many i'm interested in...which makes sense seeing as there aren't too many at the actual fest i'm interested in. The good thing about having so many shows it that it should spread the crowds out a bit


and Kirkwood, since i'm going to all 3 days of Pitchfork this year I'm definitely wearing a NBA jersey one of the days
When in rome....

Is RiotFest the same? I had tickets last year but sold them to go to Toronto instead. I haven't been to a festival since 2007 for Lolla. I will make it this year dammit and if necessary in a Rony Siekely Magic jersey.

leaning toward going to Parquet Courts on Friday....but Jenny Lewis at Park West is kind of intriguing, as is Spoon at Metro

i have a feeling the majority of these aftershows are going to sell out very quickly , there are a lot of artists playing venues that are likely too small for them

Yeah, most of this stuff is gone instantly.

I've had a pretty good track record for these Lolla aftershows though since they started.

Black Keys @ Metro- twice
Them Crooked Vultures @ Metro - First performance ever
Arctic Monkeys @ Metro, and @ House Of Blues
Queens of the stone age @ Metro
Raveonettes @ Empty Bottle
Postal Service @ Metro - Last show ever

Priority #1 for me will be Phosphorescent.

If I get those, I will look at other shows.

Priority #1 for me is Blood Orange, going on sale in 2 minutes....

then I think i'm going to grab Parquet Courts....and tomorrow I might grab Jenny Lewis and then decide between the 2 later....i hate buying with the intent of reselling but I'm pretty sure i'll be able to unload the ones i don't want fairly easily

Author:  Bagels [ Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:04 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Lollapalooza (aka here comes yet another festival thread

got the Blood Orange tix...whew

both that and Parquet Courts pre-sale sold out already....like 3 minutes :lol:

i've decided my plan will be:
Parquet Courts first - i know this will sell out instantly
then Jenny Lewis - my 2nd choice if i can't get Parquet Courts
then RAC - don't think there will be any problem getting this

hoping the people going for Skrillex, Disclosure, Broken Bells, etc. will provide enough of a smokescreen for me to get all 3

I got phosphorescent 8)

Post subject:  Re: Lollapalooza (aka here comes yet another festival thread

Cage the Elephant ticket were a success.

The Disclosure tickets were too expensive for my tastes but attempted helping a friend get some. The website crashed. Then got in, told me to refresh to get back in line and crashed. :lol:

Other buddy got Chvrches. Chvrches and CtE is a decent weekend of musica.

Tried for Chvrches -- pretty much gone instantly.

Author:  Bagels [ Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:09 am ]
Post subject:  Re: Lollapalooza (aka here comes yet another festival thread

I got all 3 8)



now I gotta decide between Parquet Courts and Jenny Lewis on Friday..

i'll def be able to sell the Parquet Courts though, that sold out instantly
