    My god...Lollapalooza is clearly the festival of the year once again. I cannot believe they got those top 3. The rest of that lineup is VERY solid too. Louis XIV, Gnarles, Bloc, Molly, G. Love, Cool Kids....fucking killer. Hope there's no conflicts for Love and Rockets haha! Love the reunions.

    Granted you've got the 3 main contenders... but no My Morning Jacket, Disco Biscuits, Sigur Rós, or Pearl Jam :)
    If I could, think I would give in.

    I'm not really impressed by it.

    I mean Wilco, Radiohead and BSS are ok. But, I could see them individually and not have to go to Chicago.

    Out of that list I'd like to see:
    Radiohead
    Rage
    Kanye West
    Wilco
    The Raconteurs
    Gnarls Barkley
    Lupe Fiasco
    Flogging Molly
    Cat Power
    The National
    Gogol Bordello
    Explosions in the Sky
    The Gutter Twins

    Gotta say I'm very happy I'm going to Bonnaroo over Lollapalooza. Rage is the only thing that would draw me to Lollapalooza. Everything else on that list I'm seeing at 'Roo or I'd rather see in their own show.

    I'm still in shock with this lineup; absolutely fantastic. The only thing that worries me is how the headliners will be scheduled...

    I would guess the headliners will conflict like this:

    Friday - NIN vs Raconteurs

    Saturday - RATM vs Wilco

    Sunday - Radiohead vs Kanye West

    Radiohead is listed first, so they will close the festival. NIN would have to be Friday because they're playing another date on Saturday. So RATM has to be Saturday.

    I think it's top heavy, there are a few bands in the lower parts of the lineup that I like (Malkmus, National, Gutter twins, Flogging Molly). But I don't know, it seems to drop off pretty quick after the headliners.

    the weakest lineup since lolla has been in chicago. that's just my opinion though.
    "There's a $10,000 bill in it for you."
    "Oh yeah? Which president's on it?"
    "Uh, all of them. They're having a party. Jimmy Carter's passed out on the couch."

    as much as i love Pearl Jam...and i am going to 'roo...

    i agree with you.

    i have never seen Radiohead who long was tops on my list and to see Rage along with them will just be unreal...


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    The 'Roo is pretty weak in my opinion. Mainly cause besides PJ and Kanye, the headliners suck. Metallica and Jack Johnson are garbage.


    But I think this line-up is better than last years'. Besides PJ, The Roots, Spoon, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Daft Punk, and Regina Spektor...there wasn't much there except a shitload of indie bands.


    This is cool because at least Lolla came with the heard rock again. Plus some bands I've heard a shitload about, but never actualy seen.

    I'd rather get kicked in the nuts for an hour than to have to sit through another Metallica concert. I've been to one-Kid Rock AND Metallica in 2000; yes I paid for tickets, and yes I thought it was cool at the time.

    What you may like from headliners at Lolla, Roo more than makes up for it in supporting acts......don't forget living legends BB King, Willie Nelson and Robert Plant. Lollapalooza doesn't hold Roo's Jockstrap in overall lineup. Not to mention Sigur Ros, Death Cab, etc.

    Thats my opinion too, if you take out the top 7 or so from each fest, Roo holds up a lot better.

    And at Roo you will still get longer sets from bands that aren't headliners.
