No PJ... duh!

But it does look pretty cool. The headliners don't impress like last year, but last year was pretty top heavy. There wasn't much after the headliners. This year looks much stronger top to bottom.

Tool, Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, Depeche Mode, Lou Reed. I don't know about the Killers and KoL as headliners, but that's ok. Then there's Silversun Pickups, TV on the Radio, Band of Horses... not bad!

    When do they usually announce the actual schedule? I gotta decide whether I'm buying a 3 day pass or a single day pass when they go on sale...

    doesn't look that bad. it's funny to see though how many bands are just festival-prone; i.e., so many bands are just playing every festival there is out there; tool, beastie boys, silversun pickups, fleet foxes, etc..
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Usually not until well into summer. I want to say it was at least June when they released the actual schedule last year.

    That's what I thought. Do they always sell single day passes?

    There's only a select few bands I really want to see and I'm hoping at least a couple would be playing the same day so I could just buy a single day pass and not drop $200 for a whole weekend pass. Gotta save up some $ for PJ in the fall!

    ill probably only buy the beastie boy day... already seen tool, JA, decemberists, KOL, ben harper, andrew bird, STS9, vampire weekend, silversun pickups... so nothing too new or exciting here for me... (music snob :geek: ) hoping that fleet foxes, tv on the radio, and band of horses are the same day as the beastie boys so i can check them out live...

    oh and vampire weekend is shit live (and shit in general IMO) so i would skip their set if youre attending (just a heads up)

    also its pretty sad when a 3 day pass which includes the killers costs as much as a single killers concert :o

    since when does a ticket to the killers cost $200?

    not a huge killer fan, but my friends who are into them said tickets for their latest tour were going for upwards of $150... and i dont think they were talkin about the best seats... but i could be mistaken

    Meh. I'm going to Roo and the only artists at Lolla I want to see that aren't at Bonnaroo are Tool, Jane's and Lou Reed.

    I'm goin all three days. Tool's amazing live and they don't tour that often. Never seen Janes's but dig their music. LOU FUCKING REED!!!! It'll be a greatest hits set but i've never gotten the chance to see him. KOL, Ben Harper, Dan Auerbach, Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode...yeah those are the bands I know i want to see and that would excede $200 by far so it's worth it for me.

    I was definitely not going, until I saw the full lineup. Tool, Killers, Gaslight Anthem, TVOTR, Lou Reed, Deerhunter are all bands I'd want to see - its tempting.
