There's at least 5 bands on here that I'm excited about (which is better than my first reaction to Lolla's initial lineup last year) but it looks like I have a lot of research to do between now and Oct. Hopefully they give Ghostland Observatory the night spot they deserve as opposed to Lolla's first thing in the AM slot last year.

I'm not sure if they'll be releasing a full lineup on Monday when it'll be "officially" announced but it looks like they still have to add about 75-80 bands seeing they had 100+ last year.

Ehhhh...

I've been everytime it's been in NOLA that past 5 years. But I don't know this year.

I already saw STP and NIN I'm seeing at Lolla, so the line-up isn't that impressive to me, but I'll still probably go.

Looks like this is the full initial lineup-->

I've got LOTS of research to do on this one! It seemed like they had quite a few more well known bands last year. Does anyone know the caliber of lineup additions from past years or if they even have additions after the initial lineup??

its only around 100 bucks i think. cant beat the price, especially the last few years.

That's a pretty kickass lineup from top to bottom. I'm there for sure this year.

Yup, bought mine for $75/ea when the presale was going on a couple of months ago $75 for REM, STP and NIN alone is well worth it then add in CWK, Ghostland and all the other bands that'll be there and the city of NOLA to boot and it's quite the bargain!!
