Confirmed Lolla bands?

DeetroitBaasketball

Wondering if there have been any other confirmations to the Lolla lineup? Obviously PJ and then some other rumored bands (not interested in rumors)... when will the official line-up be released, after April 12?

soulsinging

pearl jam.

that's it. they're going to release the lineup next week i believe.

I've seen articles about The Roots (?eustlove said for Chi-town residents to be ready for the "l" word) and Lupe Fiasco. Last time I looked at Wikipedia (I know, I know-cool it) they had about twenty bands and links to the articles "confirming" such.

Scratch the links crap. I assume Lolla had a problem with it; it changed already, but here's the quote to save some time:

Lollapalooza will again take place in Grant Park, Chicago, for the first of a five year contract signed between Lollapalooza and the city. It will take place between August 3-5. There was a pre-sale special pricing $60 for a 3 day pass. Early bird tickets will be for sale on April 3rd for around $1 per band. Early bird tickets went on sale this year for $165. Tickets were not subject to a service fee and have an optional shipping charge if you desire hard copies of tickets. The standard price of the tickets this year is $195 (without service charges.)

-The Lineup for this year's festival will be announced April 12-www.lollapalooza.com

-Pearl Jam will headline Sunday night. - Bands including The White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and The Phantoms of Philosophy are also rumored to be playing at the three day festival.

im really hoping arcade fire is there... this would be the perfect time for them to play it. they're on top of the world right now and an epic lolla show could catapault them into the elite.

im half afraid that of the half dozen bands i've already seen this spring, all of them will end up at lolla and i'll feel like i shoulda been more selective bands like tv on the radio, hold steady, brand new, decemberists, modest mouse, bloc party... all seem like no brainers for lolla, hehe.

yeah, they have a kind of "rave" element on certain stages, like bonnaroo. rest assured, you will not see me anywhere near that tent.

if you need a couch to crash on, hit me up!

yeah...i think i'll skip that area too! now i remember...the klaxons (sp?) was a band he mentioned. they're not too bad...i'll have to give their cd a few more listens at work!

thanks for the couch offer...i'll let you know!! as of right now, i'll be staying at the hyatt near the park. my old roommate works for them, so we are able to stay there for free.

i can't wait to find out the lineup...last year was so amazing, i don't know how they'll top it?!?

Ah, the meet up. Great idea. The benefit was fun last year. I'm sure ther'll be sticky up for one soon.
We're bringing mad Texas love for ya'll. May be ten or so of us (we'll see how many flake); at least half that confirmed so far. We're staying at the Congress Plaza for the weekend I believe. Look for the TX flag flying proud!

Keep an eye on pollstar:

They tend to add bands before initial announcements, although there isn't much there yet besides !!!, the Annuals, and PJ.

I don't have any rumors to report, but I'd be excited to find out that Smashing Pumpkins and/or Wilco are playing Lolla.

Both of them have ties to Chicago and have new albums out this spring/summer.

clayton12

Wilco played last year so I highly doubt they will be back again. but who knows

Pumpkins will be at the Virgin Record Fest in Balt MD that is held the same weekend. That is Aug 4th and 5th only.

I am holding out for them to be the headliner for Friday night.

Wilco played last year.

Arcade Fire also played Lolla. I am not sure if it was last year or before last. I would like to see them since I am just getting into them. They have 3 shows sold out at the Chicago Theatre a few months before Lolla.

maybe you should hop on board the "it's a new decade and grunge is dead" train it wouldnt kill you to hear some new music, you will still get your money's worth. lolla was always about exposure for more up and coming acts, rather than being the all star game like bonnaroo or the woodstocks. but the lineup comes out tomorrow, so the debate can end!

yeah yeah yeah....when this generations new music lives up to my generations good music...then ill have something new to listen too. but very few of these "indie" bands make it....and theres usually a reason for that. however that being said...i just saw a band the other night....and they blew me away! and thats hard to do...REALLY hard to do considering i had never heard them before. Their name is Autovein. they are from st louis...and they rock so hard...and hes got an amazing voice.

but i have very high standards for the music that ill listen to on any regular basis. they have to have talent, have a great singer, make me FEEL the music...and the music needs to MOVE me...pull me in with great riffs and transitions and bridges...have good lyrics and a voice that isnt afraid to show some emotion (other than the whiney emo shit...or whatever that crap is called). they have to be able to perform a great LIVE show. their albums need to FLOW....they need to have lasting potential. when i listen to their show or album for the first time...they need to make me wanna go home and listen to them again....if they cant do that....ehhh they dont have what it takes for me.

and i know what lolla's been about...ive been to a few back in the day...and most of the bands i had heard of before seening them. oh and the big difference was that tickets were like 40 bucks and not 165. oh well...hopefully ill be pleased with the selections and enjoy some new bands when im there.

PJPAT

I cant wait until the bands are confirmed so the speculation ends.

Does anyone know when they announce? Is it a late in the day announcement?

So many great bands have been rumored but Lolla is for the up and coming bands. That is what Pearl Jam was in 92 and how I was introduced to them.

Could the next great band be mixed in somewhere this year?

DeetroitBaasketball

One more day!

Tangerine

Looks like some (or all) of it leaked...

http://www.avclub.com/content/newswire/lollapalooza_2007_lineup_one

Hopefully that's not all. Luckily I got the $60 ticket. Keeping my fingers crossed they add at least one more big name headliner. This isn't as "mind blowing" as the Lolla site led me to believe. I probably wouldn't spend $195 a ticket for this.

Ott

Good find. Thanks for the heads up.

Pearl Jam, Muse, Iggy & The Stooges, Modest Mouse, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, Spoon, TV On The Radio, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Yo La Tengo, Hold Steady, Blonde Redhead, Sparklehorse, Son Volt, Peter Bjorn & John, Tapes N Tapes, Tokyo Police Club, Cold War Kids, Annuals, Sam Roberts

.....not too shabby - thought there might be a couple more standouts on the line-up (ie. the Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Bloc Party, the Shins, Wilco, Feist, Stars)

.....if this is the line-up, who would be headlining the non-Pearl Jam nights????

Yeah, I thought for sure they'd get some more standouts like the ones you mentioned. It's not a bad lineup, but it's not my "dream lineup" by any means.

Keep in mind though, there's only about 80 bands listed so far...so about 50 more will be added by August.

NickyNooch

Hell if thats the lineup... I may not go. Not really that stellar. I was hoping to see Wu Tang or Nine Inch Nails to add some diversity, but seeing the Stooges on it is kinda cool.

it was a one day festival then. 40x3= 120. only a $45 raise. that probly barely outpaces inflation. there will be plenty of great bands there.
