Lollapalooza: Depeche Mode Tool, Killers, KOL, AC, STS9

i think the non-headliners part is pretty deep - sts9, tv on the radio, andrew bird, ben harper,lou reed, but i don't really know about the headliners besides kings and tool

Man Tool in Grant Park is going to be a treat. Wish i could make it but will be at the Gorge that weekend. Wish Thievery would be at rothbury again. Anyways have fun, i bet the late night run will be sick..

decent lineup. Went to Lolla a few years ago, it was fun. Chicago is just too expensive if you have to pay for travel and hotels. Would go if I lived in the city.

Fuck yeah, Lolla 09 thanks for stepping it up!

Would be great if I weren't already going to Wakarusa and Rothbury... Chicago is a fantastic city, but so expensive.

LOU REEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!

Hmmm....eh....okay i suppose. Nothing too fancy. There's some talent there for sure, but i would so much rather see most of these bands(or already have) at a smaller venue, more intimate.

It seems that every other year is over the top for Lolla. The first and third years were sick, especially Radiohead, Rage and Nine Inch Nails last year!

None the less, if you go, have a great time! It is a great weekend party!

cheers!

This > Phish

also, i think its appropriate for jane's addiction to be there, considering that perry farrell started lollapalooza

wowowow, love to live in chicago for this shit for once, LOU Mo'fuckin' REED, Tool, and i'm lucky enough to have rr tickets for all nights. ah lovin' life man.

Wow, Lollapalooze stepped it up. I have to admit, I was surprised and pretty impressed when I saw this line up

SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!! Got my ticket just now :)

WOW!!! best lineup of the year so far...but they don't have phish! :) ohhh well I am still going to see some more TOOOOOOOL! So much good music from all different genres, see you in chicago

STS9 fits right in with this pathetic list of posers

la riots and mstrkrft!! if only it wouldn't be so expensive to get/stay there

Jane's is good though. I won't bag on them

fuuuuck yeah...that dj lineup is off the chain this weekend is gonna be nuts

powerful line-up but what happened to the days when festivals actually booked jambands. if STS9 is all this festy has to offer as far as the scene goes then its pretty sad. ACL went down the same path and both festys are lame. i love sts9 but they're kinda festy whores

looks OK, but dont get siked for tool, they bring too many rules with them and their live shows suck nowadays. when i saw tool couple years ago the singer sat at a table on the back of the stage and played cards then sang every now and again, and their bonnaroo show sucked it didn't evan fill half of the lawn for the main stage(some will try to argue with me but i was there and sober so i remember). back in the nineties tool said we r here for you, now they r here to play cards, make fun of their fans, and collect a pay check while only giving half the performance they use to. Chicago has so much potential to have a better lineup with more dedicated acts than some of the bigger names listed here. there's still some tight acts worth checking out. just dont let tool be your only reason to go.

Zanos WOW. your a tool. i was sober 100 % at the roo and it was magical. Maynard is off in his own world when he performs, i cant believe you just wrote that. May be the dumbest shit i have read in a long time. TOOL is perfect, get siked as hell for this performance..... Zanos please it didnt fill half the lawn because hippies were affraid of them.

not bad, i was happy enough seeing rage against the machine and nin last year, now i get to see muthafukin TOOL in grantpark !!! not to mention beastie boys, atmosphere, bassnectar, MSTRKRFT, lou reed !!! and a shitload of new music to check out !

i gotta agree with zanos being a huge dumbass. tool at bonnaroo was FUCKING EPIC, i saw so many hippies getting their face melted off, and my face even started melting a little when tom morello came out for an epic guitar solo during laterulas (<-- sp?) the 10000 days tour wasn't the best tour for tool, but i've never been dissappointed at a show. and i bet they are the highlight of lolla this year

this shit is too expensive...i live in chi-town and wouldnt go if i couldnt sneak in...but perrys is gonna be off the chain

where are all these dj's gonna be spinnin at ?

Lolla on the Friday-Sunday and then Phish on Tuesday. Should be a worthwhile roadtrip.

damn lol i got toyota park tix for phish 2, that is gonna be 1 hell of a week !!!! i didnt even notice they were so close ! 2009 is gearing up to be one of my best years for music !

this is cool, nothing that wasn't too unexpected if you've been tracking the 'rumors'....too expensive for me though. tool in grant park should be amazing. i'll volunteer just to get in to see that show for free....

lolla pa LOOZER

Its bout time Sts9 got some semi-headlining love. They are gonna kill it, this i think will put the city ina whirl wind of sound. Now lets just hope they get the night set. Sick line up, that dj tent is gonna fucking ridic.

I've never bitched about the order of a lineup before.. but to put Lou Reed under the killers, beasty boys and depeche mode is blasphemy.

a bunch of bands i have never heard. just a few bands but other than that they all sound like indie bands. Vampire weekend?>! ha wtf.

man... between Lolla, Rothbury, Summercamp, and Nelson Ledges, the midwest is gonna be jumpin' this summer! TOOL is gonna blow minds... i only wish Lolla helped facilitate public camping anywhere near the fest, as hotels preclude any sense of community.

a bunch of bands i have never heard. just a few bands but other than that they all sound like indie bands. ha wtf.

yep!

yes!!

I'm stoked for tool, that'll probably the only day i go though, hopefully i'll get lucky and sts9/bassnectar will be on the same day.

hop the fence :p

is this fest like most and only sell whole weekend passes?

lou reed, tool, thievery, tribe, bassnectar; crossing my fingers they are all on the same day

I'll be my own personal Jesus at Bonnaroo. But thanks Lalapolooza for letting washed up bands like Depech Mode cash in while the economy is down. Are they serisouly headlining this festival? I think the proverbial snowball just hit the Devil in the face. Does anyone else agree that there are too many festivals? Every single one of them has the same acts with varying headliners. Was it always this way? I don't remember it being this ridiculous in the early to mid 90's.

^ dj the over-abbundance of festivals is for the jobless wooks that just go from fest-to-fest selling stale veggie burritos and there souls all year round. and about depache mode they will def not be the only band playing during their "headlining" spot, at lolla both the south and north stage have headliners playing at the same time. like last year ratm played the same time as wilco and nin played the same time as kanye (suxs :))

no chem bros??? so sad :(

i don't know...i might still go for one of the three days, depends on the day and who's playing. hopefully the fest makes it to august and doesn't get dropped like langerado. tickets are fuggin ridiculous.

I fucking hate wookies! Take a shower and get jobs! Its not that tough. Your parents figured out how to become doctors and lawyers. You can do it ya little furballs! Just get off the tours and the welfare and become productive citizens. Wait a second, why the hell are we bitching about wooks on the internet dankb? Those stupid assholes dont have the internet! I know what we can do: After they walk past us (at the festival of your choice) and whisper "doses" in our ears we can speak their language and mumble incoherenty until they get confused and walk away. It wont get our point across any better, but it will be fun! Also, I figured out the greatest festival time killing activity of all time. I call it "the wookie duck call". Basically, I simply cup my hands and blow into them creating the sound (which I must say I have perfected over the last couple of years) of nitrous balloons flowing like the salmon of Capistrano. People come-a-runnin, and the look of dissapointment is so hilairious it will keep you and your friends busy for hours.

^ sounds like someone got their ass beat by a wook

wow, on several accounts: djacoustic... well, nevermind, not even worth it. and bigfro, nice pathetic attempt at an insult... you've got sts9 AND david murphy listed in your tracked artists. also, what's up with the lack of open mindedness? people complaining about a bunch of bands they've never heard of like there's actually something wrong with that, perhaps you should listen to more music... try it out, it's a lot of fun, and it's good for ya.

Wow. Good stuff. Since Im not one of the above mentioned "Wooks", Ive gotta choose my shows wisely due to work and bills and what not. Im already going to Bonnaroo but Id really like to hit at least one day of this fest. I live in IL so travel and lodging isnt a big deal. I just hope Tool, Lou Reed, Fleet Foxes, & Thievery Corp are all on the same day since none of them are at Bonnaroo.

It's funny on how nobody has mentioned that this is the same sort of line-up as Coachella a few years ago with Depeche Mode and Tool headlining. I think this line-up is decent, Tool and Lou Reed along with Depeche Mode and Janes all in Grant Park...I'm sure the Janes show will rock for Lolla. I'm disappointed to see the Beastie Boys back on another Headliner list or wait is the Killers Headlining ANOTHER festival...God WHY!!!? This doesn't beat last years with Radiohead, Rage and NIN, but at least their are some decent bands playing, I MEAN TOOL!!!

Two Words: LOU REED, nuff said!

Tool plus a handful of other acts are enough to make me sneak in this year. Chi-city!

"But thanks Lalapolooza for letting washed up bands like Depech Mode cash in while the economy is down. Are they serisouly headlining this festival?"

You are a total moron. Their new album is fantastic and their live shows are some of the best you'll ever see. This line-up looks killer aside from the Killers.

TOOL IS A BIG NAME!

tool is going to be sick...much like the Rage show last year.

but damn i wished lolla would add chem bros....

depeche mode should be fun too.

ANIMAL COLLECTIVE DJ!
