So...looks like the Raconteurs maybe opening for Radiohead.


I'd guess Kanye and Rage on Saturday and Wilco and on Sunday. Pray to god none of these bands overlap.

yah this leads me to believe like i was saying that there will be only one main headliner each night... theres no way they would give radiohead a shortened friday night set, especially with it being their only chicago date... and kanye, wilco, and the raconteurs arent big enough to compete with radiohead, rage, or NIN (maybe thats just my opinion)... itll look this i think

FRI- Radiohead (Wilco just before them on the same stage)

SAT- Rage (after Kanye)

SUN- NIN (after Raconteurs)

atleast thats how id like for it to go... seems fair IMO... doubt an ego like kanye's would do anything but a headlining spot tho... we will have to wait and see

I really don't think you can book those top 3 acts and not give them the solo slot each night.

If they do it the way you describe I will be VERY happy!

As to Roo vs. Lolla, there's no comparison. Rage, NIN, Radiohead vs. Metallica, Jack Johnson, and yes Pearl Jam. I've seen MMJ multiple times, and Robert Plant solo isn't the same. I also like the fact that I can go home each night instead of camping amongst drugged out hippies!

Thanks for the info! Last year I was lucky that the only real conflict (which was a BIG one) was between MMJ and Modest Mouse. I got to see Modest Mouse later in the fall anyway so no big deal there.

I am really hoping that they don't pit Wilco or the Raconteurs against the big three. That would be a collosal mistake!

was way better even if you don't incorporate PJ


Explosions in te SKY are AWESOME you must see them if you go. I am gonna buy a single for that day only I think(hope it is the day of (NIN)

saw then 3 days ago, I had there songs in my head from the time I left the show until midday the next day. I seriously woke up with their songs playing in my head. That has never happened for any show.

they play their asses off worth checking out even if you never have heard them.

Lets guess the lineup will go in rows from left to right each day based on how they are listed
