Really hoping they don't play Lollapalooza, it's become such a turd in recent years. More EDM and rap than anything else, or maybe I'm just old. Or both. But that also means they wouldn't play another IL date so I'd have to do some traveling to get to see them, which all depends on funds and how far the travel is. I won't waste my time going to Woodstock more than likely, unless the lineup is just spectacular...not holding my breath.
I could see them passing on Lollapalooza due to playing 4 Chicago shows between 2016/2018.
I just want to know sooner than later what the summer looks like so I can plan my PTO accordingly.Moline, IL 10-17-2014

Wrigley needs a break.Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.0 -

Man, I didn't even think about how short the set would be and how the song selection would be mostly greatest hits, haha. I think I'd take Wrigley over Lollapalooza because I want to be able to see the show better and it be non-smoking. And I'd like to be able to sit down during "Sirens" to save leg energy.Moline, IL 10-17-2014

Overall, I'm not big on festivals anymore in general. I went to Lollapalooza the year Sabbath played, they were 1 of 5 bands I wanted to see out of the whole weekend. I'm over big crowds, standing around and waiting all day for a band, and long lines for everything.
I sound so old, haha.

So I get up this morning and already, PJ has reached out to U2's stage director for a trapezoidal design and Stone is heading into camp with GSP. I call that progress.

They can still capitalize at Wrigley. I like destination concerts and Wrigley has been on my list since my buddy told me about his 2013 experience.

coco butter said:given2fly23 said:JojoRice said:I'll take Wrigley over Lola anytime!100% (from someone who was at Lolla and all 5 Wrigley shows)I agree. I would love to see them back at United Center or Alpine, but that can only happen if they do a full tour, otherwise demand would be way too high. My point was just that they did/do try to make the ballpark shows events. Last year I was at Barcelona, London II, both Seattle and both Wrigley, and the ballpark shows were so above and beyond.Let's hope we get a bigger tour this year!Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

SandyRavage said:jimfish said:Here is a comment from Metallica's show in Raleigh this week: The METALLICA show was staged in the round, with one square stage in the center of the arena floor, and a chair-free floor filled with fans.
How awesome would that be? Totally different experience. They "sorta" play in the round now when they turn 180 degrees in an arena and play Last Kiss or other song "to the back". Everybody is close with in the round seating.
It's a great idea in theory, but that stage takes up a lottttt of space if it isn't a stadium. Take a regular arena show and cut that floor attendance by more than half. So instead of everyone in a seat and on the floor, it would be mostly people in a seat, with no option to be on the floor. I can't see that working for most people here.
That, along with the amount of production and money needed to blast music to all 4 sides of the stage and I just can't see it being worth it. Probably why more artists don't use this type of stage.0 -

Festival shows aren't always greatest hits. Sometimes, but other times you get a Pemberton, or a Telluride, or even a Virginfest
