In 2015 Metallica played Lolla. Another 2015 headliner was McCartney. The year after, the Red Hots and Radiohead headlined.... It's possible that PJ wanted to sell other tickets before being announced as a Lolla headliner.

But yes, Metallica has one of the headliner spots.

Good point. Well, we'll find out tomorrow.

Wonder if Ohana will hold off on announcing until after the May So-Cal shows?

i think we will get an announcement first of April. After these tickets sell out. 

Yeah I think you're right. 

agree - can easily get through the rest of NA in Oct/Nov even into Dec

Apparently I have missed out Vegas GA.  No one here was more patient than me waiting for these rescheduled dates.  No one cares more about this band than me.  I have been a member since the 90’s and figured seniority should guarantee me the tickets I wanted.  What is going on?  Who is dropping the ball here?   Don’t they know how much I have spent on this band!?! This is a travesty of biblical proportions.  This slight against me will not be forgotten by me or even you all, as you all know I deserve these tickets more than you.   

 These ticket lotteries are fun days!    Can’t wait for Vegas (and Phoenix)!

I did miss out on Vegas, but luckily a good dude on here has a spare.

Speaking just for myself, I agree about the part in bold.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Are they going to still announce Vegas, Sac, Fresno, etc. throughout the week, even though they announced a bunch today? Should I still anxiously await an email or accept defeat this round and prepare for the battle with ticketmaster Tuesday? Congrats to all who scored!

If anyone remembered Lolla 2017, the Foo Fighters did not play at the main show, but did an after show mega set at Metro into the wee hours of the morning on Aug 4th.  I could see PJ showing up and doing something like this.  The real gems of Lolla Chicago are the aftershows all across town during the week.

Check your credit card. There’s almost no way you didn’t get Fresno if you entered the 10C lottery.

I don't know if anyone's gotten a rejection email, yet, but I know that they were sending out e-mails in 2020 letting you know if you *didn't* get tickets. It was usually a little bit after all of the confirmations. If you haven't gotten either one, I wouldn't lose hope yet.

No Lolla, but 2 legacy rock acts

AdamJNovak

3 legacy rock acts. Metallica, Green Day and Janes Addiction. Dodged a bullet in my opinion. I really didn't want to have to deal with a tween infested Grant Park. Well, I guess there's always Wrigley?

I wouldn’t be going to Lollapalooza just to see PJ if they were playing there.

JimmyV

So with Lolla off the board it does become interesting why Boston, Chicago and Seattle were all skipped. It's possible that they think those markets have been played out but I doubt it. My guess is another big ballpark run is planned for next year. (I don't really see them adding shows in August at this point.) 

chiefnjk

UC in October it is then.

JimmyV

October shows are more likely than August IMO, but, other than Ohana, I'd still be surprised.

It is weird that they don't play seattle every tour.

I would be surprised too based on the fact that they waited so damn long to announce.  For insurance reasons they could be taking it slow and waiting to see how things go.   For all the time they took it was a little silly to see that only four new cities were slotted when other bands were doing completely new tours.  

AdamJNovak

I'm thinking a ballpark run in Summer 2023 or an arena run late Winter early Spring. I think the shows they've announced for this year and Ohana will be it for 2022.

In terms of PJ concerts I’m really regretting moving from the Toronto area to the Vancouver area. Was really hoping for Seattle ballpark shows this summer. As they say, maybe next year.

Well, I was wrong about there not being another big rock act, heh. Fingers crossed that Metallica and Royal Blood are on the same day, otherwise I have no idea who any of these other bands are. Anyone have any suggestions for any good ones?

San Diego coming out- got tickets in the supplemental lottery 

ddeschler

My eyes were too old to read that font without enlarging it.  I haven't heard of 90% of those acts.  And I thought I followed the music scene.  Maybe my teenage daughter has heard of them all...this is not for you.

jagerweis

Just got LA1!

ComeToTX

I hope the ACL lineup is a lot different but I doubt it will be.

Willow and Sam Fender are worth seeing.  Kygo is good.   Wouldn’t go to this unless PJ is playing tho

I actually want to see Dua live as she has 10-20 hits that you prob heard on the radio and didn't know it was her.  Same with Doja Cat.  Remi Wolf is decent, too.

YourDirtisMyfood

Glass Animals are the new MMJ in terms of the "new thing" with the young kids, too.
