Thoughts?

Dood... for serials it's back?

I might have to make a return to the concert circuit.

I don't ever decide until right before it happens because you can't trust the line up at all. It'll change and change and change.

Grant Park in August, be prepared for all that heat and thousands of people!

Rock the bells was just as bad.. then it was covered in rain :1orglaugh

too warm,too bad you couldnt watch it on Tv.

I thought they stopped this tour a few yrs back

apparently not

Its not a tour.. Its just a single 3 day show in Chicago.. This line up would be worth the trip..

I'd def. go if I had the occasion with RATM headlining.

If youve never seen them live DEFINITELY worth the trip for.
They are great, sound just like the CD

I would go just for some NIN ... not far from Detwa going to be there in August... going to be hot as hell

I attended Lollapalooza 92 and 94, and feel that the 92 line up was by far the best that the festival has had. Really, when are you ever going to get a line up like that again? On the main stage you had:
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ministry
Ice Cube
Soundgarden
The Jesus and Mary Chain
Pearl Jam
Lush

and performing on the side stage was:
Jim Rose Circus
Sharkbait
Archie Bell
Porno for Pyros
Basehead
Cypress Hill
House of Pain
Sweaty Nipples
Arson Garden
Seaweed
Seam
Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E.
The Look Peopl
Stone Temple Pilots
Vulgar Boatmen
Truly
Skrew
Tribe
The Authority
Samba Hell
Café Tacuba
Rage Against the Machine

I have attended many live performances over the years. I have even been lucky enough to see some artists multiple times through different stages of their careers and witness first hand how their popularity evolved from playing small half empty bars to selling out 2 nights in a row at some of the largest stadiums in the world.

After having attended 100's of live musical acts over the years I can honestly say that it will be really hard to top the talent that appeared at the 1992 Lollapalooza. The general atmosphere of the festival was just electrifying, even the rain couldn't dampen the spirits of those in attendance. Although the venue was an outdoor stadium it was held during the summer and even though it rained most of the day it was not cold.

I attended the 1994 Lollapalooza as well, it was at a different location that was much smaller in size and not very well organized. There was also not a cloud in the sky and the heat was almost unbearable. I guess the people that organized the event had not anticipated the heat and concessions ran out of drinking water 2 hours into the show. Several people were treated for heatstroke and to top it all off the porta potties were all overflowing before the day was done. There were some good artists performing but it was a far cry from line up at the 92 event.

I have yet to attend another show since that I have enjoyed as much as I did at the 1992 Lollapalooza.

shit, i know none of them

is that Perry Farell making a comeback? I am planning to be around in the summer just I wanted to stay mainly west coast..

Golden years!

I have read a LOT about the lollapalooza festivals, from Rollins and on the web, remember the cult Simpsons episode with Cypress Hill and Smashing Pumpkins?

OMG!!! You are friends with Brand New? Its my favorite band, they are the best Live!!!

Really? Good stuff. They are all great guys.. except jesse is kind of weird sometimes but anywho hit me up!

Im def going to be out there... lineup looks great :)

That Simpsons episode is a classic, one of the more memorable episodes for sure :thumbsup

I like only a couple bands,I'll pass

I think I'm in for VIRGIN FESTIVAL instead (I always like the vibe there better). Almost identical lineup as Lollapalooza (probably because it is the same weekend).

Only kanye apeals to me on that list

Damn.. That is another good line up...

Perry Farrell is the man. His wife's very nice. Talked to her a few times online.

Lolla was cancelled for a couple of years due to poor ticket sales, but last year it made a huge comeback. This year's show should be amazing. Sucks I won't be able to make it. I'm a huge Perry Farrell fan and love pretty much anything he's involved with. Hell, he's the founder of Lollapalooza. A lot of bands owe their career to him.

if you go let me know, i'd love to whoop the shit out of you.

i might stop calling you out and leave you alone if it happened. i'm sure all the people you've stolen from you be happy with some video of your face getting pummeled.

was there many years ago when NIN played in AZ. they walked of the stage after one song. anyone else there?

I went to the very first Lollapalooza in Jersey...... Was tripping hard during Siousie and the Banshees, and got lost from my party..That had to be more than 10 years ago?

holy shit ... this is the one i went to--

1991

Main Stage: Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Living Colour, Nine Inch Nails, Ice T & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band, Violent Femmes.

Damn 17 years ago.. im old
