Lineup announced tomorrow morning.

I'm guessing at least some of these will be there:

Best Coast
Hot Chip
A$AP Rocky
Alabama Shakes
(Some variation of) Arcade Fire
Toro Y Moi
War on Drugs
Alvvays

And some HUGE hip hop star

Hopefully someone shows up strapped with dynamite.

that'd be a huge get, they never play festivals

Really? I didn't know that.
I'm just going through bands that haven't played here lately and aren't (yet) scheduled to this summer that have new stuff out.

Exception being Alabama Shakes (just played here) but they had their set rained out a couple years ago at Lolla.
Perry owes them one I suppose.

_________________

i was joking. they literally play every single festival. i don't think they've stopped touring in the 1 1/2 years or however long that album has been out

they're at Bonnaroo, Coachella, Gov. Ball....they might not be at Drake's OVO fest but that's about it

i'll go if aphex twin is there, otherwise * wankoff motion * and maybe at most i'll catch somebody doing a smaller gig at a venue while they're in town.... like i remember latyrx was playing lollapalooza or some festival and there was a lyrics born show at the congress on that friday night and HEY WHADDYA KNOW lateef showed up and they did a whole bunch of latyrx songs on stage for under $75 or whatever a day of festival costs. who knew?

i know St. Vincent is your girl, but same thing with her....that show at the Riv was 1 year ago now ?

and she's still touring and playing all kinds of fests, i'm sure she'll be at Lolla too. guaranteed

i like both her and War On Drugs but its like c'mon man, give it a rest...

didn't st vincent get ruined by david "dadrock" byrne and now she dyes her hair and she's a drugged out superdyke dating cara delevingne?

or am i off on this one? i mean i'm off in general but sometimes i like to think i'm on point.

no you're on point

I was gonna put Faith No More on the list but they just seem automatic for Riot Fest

_________________

since you're guessing here are my guesses :
Kendrick, Florence & The Machine, War On Drugs, St. Vincent, Hozier, Hot Chip, Alabama Shakes, Tame Impala, Decemberists, Ryan Adams, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Father John Misty, alt-J, FKA Twigs, Bleachers, Belle & Sebastian

This lineup sucks. I cannot believe how much Lollapalooza has changed over the years (I probably say that every year).

Tom Petty well represented and he doesn't even have to get off of his couch!

_________________

Metallica is bad enough, but the McCartney headlinder is definitely a head scratcher.

Metallica played the old Lolla tour years ago, but they weren't 60 at the time.
SAM SMITH???


Also, I feel like I keep up with music quite a bit, but I have never heard of at least half of these acts. Not even slightly familiar sounding.

credit when due, that was pretty good

plus you gotta figure w/ how much cash it had to have taken to get him to play, the mid/bottom of the lineup suffers...

Not bad!

wow charli xcx is way low on that list.... below g-eazy and sturgill simpson? i've heard her songs on the radio FFS!

just watch it on youtube

I thought A$AP Rocky was bigger than The Weeknd.


I guess even being near Drake does wonders


Drake is the new Jay-Z

they don't broadcast every band but the live simulcasts are high def goodness.

i was mocking JORR but yea, it is nice that Coachella, Lolla, Bonnaroo and ACL do such high quality web streams

Coachella's is the best though...very well done and they have 3 channels so despite the fact they have an insane amount of acts playing they actually webcast a pretty decent percentage

no one representin from CSFMB ?
