local natives? yeasayer? ja? ja!
the only other BIG IF, would be the smashing pumpkins, but i just dont think billy can show his face around here without the ORIGINALS…
All bands are played against someone…regardless of how well liked, I heard wilco was a ghost town during RATM
Andrew- I really like your Incubus guess, that would be cool, and kind of fits the bill for a headliner vs. jay-z, im pretty confident about this lineup, im pretty sure the beasties are going to make good after last year, I havent heard exactly how the recovery process is going but…if not then i think Them Crooked Vultures could slip into their spot, i dont know if they are quite at “headliner” status yet, I know they have built a following rather quickly, based on who they are, but i havent seen album sales jumping threw the roof

I haven’t visited this site in a few months and was hoping to see some solid rumors for the headliners. Usually we have a very good idea by now. All we have is the Flaming Lips rumor and they may or may not be a headliner. Soundgarden makes sense but other than that who knows?
I would flip if Incubus played but I’m not getting my hopes up about it.
The bands that should be there are 311,incubus,wolfmother,rage,pearl jam,my morning jacket,manchester orchestra, red hot chilli peppers,the strokes, them crooked vultures,the dead weather…..
Flaming Lips will be up against someone. The act for before the main headliner always plays against someone.
oh and Blitzen Trapper is just not a sub headliner….and thats coming from someone who lives in the northwest (who is a big fan)…they rank behind fleet foxes and band of horses in the hierarchy of sub pop…and don’t see any of them on the level of sub headliner……yet
i don’t think they would put the flips against someone, there too widely liked, they’ll open for the main headliner whatever night they play…they’d put mmj vs. someone instead

Looks like Infected Mushroom will be at Lolla.
exactly why goriallz WONT be there…cough cough coachella cough cough
GMAN. Jay-z w/ guests? cough cough Coachella. cough cough
heres a thought:
SUBLIME WITH ROME
discuss.
not to mention, that lolla wants to give the fans something fresh, that no OTHER festival is going to give them cough cough coachella cough cough
My educated guess would think that Gorillaz would come around this year, though they are more fond of Coachella & doing a 12-to-18 city US tour. Seems like a good fit, though not quite being a Lolla-type headliner & performing during they day don’t mix well for them, on second thought.
I am as shocked by the Pitchfork announcement as all of you.
I understand be skeptical and i get it.
We will just wait and see, sound fair?
Where are the Lady Gaga rumors coming from anyhow? I mean she wasnt rumored at coachella, she wasnt rumored at bonnaroo…Is this all because she has played Lolla before? or the fact that people dont like lollapalooza so they make up rumors to try and disgrace the festival.
I for one, would LOVE to see Gaga on the bill, as a matter of fact, that could be a selling point for me. Not a huge soundgarden or beasties fan, and well lets be honest we all know they are BOTH playing this year. Gaga is a contemporary pop princess that composes and writes her own material, shes a musician, NOT A PERFORMER, not along the same lines of a Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson or Avril Lavigne. Not only that but her stage show has got to be one the best since Manson. Pyrotechnics, dancing, and fine ass women…what could you NOT love about a Gaga show.
But lets be realistic, shes not playing.
once again…you heard it here first

Swear to god if Lady Gaga is there I’m jumping.
Mark/fake Johnny J is disproven since LCD Soundsystem is on the Pitchfork lineup. Wasn’t a fan of that posted lineup so I feel like we dodged a bullet there.
Unfortunately Lady Gaga already played Lolla. Check out the line up on the BMI Stage in 2007.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lollapalooza_lineups_by_year#2008
Yeah, trust me I am not rooting for GAGA being there but it is what it is. I am not going to sit here and tell you that i know something i don’t at this time i told you everything i know. If i hear anything else, I would gladly pass it on.
I heard that Arcade Fire, Strokes and Weezer were all possibilities at least at one time.
I know that Pearl Jam, Kings of Leon, Smashing Pumpkins, Jane’s Addiction and Pavement are all not playing.
I know many of you know this but there are some people who still think they are a possibility.
I guess it comes down to Lolla just becoming a very mainstream festival, which to me is a bit disappointing.
Because she is really big right now.
im sorry but why are people even considering lady gaga as a real possibility. festival suicide
Any thought on Blitzen Trapper being a sub-headliner? They would be an awesome addition. Hope they pull in The Hue as one of the local acts.
hey mark is muse playing at lollapalooza this year? also do u know about anything about perry’s?
To be honest, i really don’t know what the 6th headliner is. I think you are going to have these 5 as headliners:
Green Day
Lady Gaga
Soundgarden
Beastie Boys
Flaming Lips
And then the rest are sub headliners.
So we still have a 6th that might be able to turn it around. Arcade Fire?
I’m pretty sure lolla blew it’s wad in ‘07! I wonder if they can ever top it again?
Those are the worst top 6 I have ever seen for a festival.
First six as headliners? Ok.
Just wait…
Green Day
Lady Gaga
Soundgarden
Beastie Boys
Flaming Lips
LCD Soundsystem
Phoenix
MGMT
- signed Johnny J
Just wait…
Green Day
Lady Gaga
Soundgarden
Beastie Boys
Flaming Lips
LCD Soundsystem
Phoenix
MGMT
with the new strokes album is a lolla appearance possible?
I can’t believe you haven’t moved X Japan into the “expected” category yet!!!
http://www.japan-zone.com/news/2010/02/02/yoshiki_says_x_japan_will_play_lollapolooza.shtml
johhny j, i want you
I don’t think it is rumor as much as speculation. People are just considering arena-sized headliners who have not yet played the festival. I think Green Day is WAAAY more likely than PJ.
Where are the Green Day rumors coming from? Or are they like the ridiculous Pearl Jam rumors and people are just making up what they want to see.
@mikeynopants
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
May as well put the Drive-By Truckers as confirmed. According to the February 6, 2010, issue of Billboard Magazine the band’s “tour begins in earnest in April with a northeast run, followed by the Midwest and the West Coast. Then comes European festivals, U.S. festivals like Lollapalooza in Chicago and Mile High in Denver, and then a return to Europe to headline clubs and theaters.”
yup, totally gonna belive u when u mispell phoenix and lady gaga and mgmt and lcd soundsystem might be sub headliners but not headliners. what have u been smoking?
Headliners are Green Day,Soundgarden, Beastie Boys,Lady GaGa, The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Pheonix, LCD Sound System.
According to the Pearl Jam message pit, someone stated a source at a radio station in Chicago ( wxrt or something like that) and a different person from a magazine, I believe it was Spin.
Pearl Jam is not headlining. not a chance. I am willing to bet if noah and the whale are on the bonnaroo lineup like they are rumoured to be, they will be at Lolla this year
Can somebody list just one of these “multiple sources” who are saying Pearl Jam is playing Lollapalooza? Cause that seems absolutely asinine…I’m pretty sure one person started that rumor and has said it multiple places.
I don’t know…makes sense…but are you sure you have enough early 90s alt-rock on that lineup?
RED HOT CHLLI PEPPERS/SOUNDGARDEN/BEASTIE BOYS
them crooked vultures/justice/stone temple pilots
the flaming lips,mgmt,phoenix,deftones,devo,john frusciante, jonsi,wolf parade,does it offend you yeah,john butler trio,
perry farrell,slash,toxic avenger,wale
Weren’t were pretty sure on all of the headliners this time last year(minus Tool). Something weird is going with the Green Day rumors, Muse even though they have a spring Chicago date, the apparent Soundgarden reunion along with multiple sources saying Pearl Jam will be at lollapalooza. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.
Rumors have it
Soundgarden
Lady Gaga and Jay-z
but MGMT’s new album is coming so thats a possibility there gonna be there and same for Justice and The Strokes
Im from NYC and never been to chi town but a few artists that would def get me to chicago would be
MMJ
Faith No More
Soundgarden
Beastie Boys
Justice
Them Crooked Vultures
thats all i need
Friday
Beastie Boys vs. The Strokes
Saturday
Soundgarden vs. The Flaming Lips
Sunday
Jay-Z vs. Stone Temple Pilots
Faith No More
The Deftones
The Dead Wheather
My Morning Jacket
The National
Cypress Hill
You heard it here first.
hoping for LCD soundsystem again caus theyre touring, TECH 9!!!!!!
I’m hoping for LCD soundsystem again caus they touring, TECH 9!!!!
KOL will likely not be there as Lolla doesn’t like having the same band there in back to back years. Not saying it doesn’t happen though but I doubt it.
I just saw Johnny J write something on the Wakarusa board. Is he back?
Any news on Kings of Leon? They’re usually there, and Lolla wouldn’t be the same without some taper jean girl
If lolla got Soundgarden, Massive Attack, Beasties, RHCP, System of a Down, Flaming lips, I would say that they are looking like the festival to beat this year.
sorry
*chili peppers
You can prolly count out chilli peppers, they’ll be playing in chicago i think sometime in March (thats what Q101 said and they’re pretty reliable) so depending on zoning rules they may have to skip (much like JANE’s did in the NINJA tour).
Massive Attack has a new CD release this February, STS9 and Thievery Corp played very very well last year so Massive Attack would be a nice fill in
no muse, no pavement either because they really stunk up their last lolla performances (booed off stage etc.), but times have changed and music is lamer than ever, so its a possibility. Beasties and soundgarden are 100% a lock plus i wouldnt discredit the chili peppers….. chali 2na instead of jurassic 5.. sorry bout that!
Thom Yorke won’t be there guys.
in regards to they will be there. There’s almost no chance you will see some of those bands. Deadmau5 was there last year highly doubt they would play again. Jurassic 5 is broken up and on hiatus don’t see them getting back together any time soon. Chili Peppers don’t plan to have their new album out until late 2010 (hopefully October) so you can pretty much scratch them from touring until next year.
why would deadmau5 be there? he was there last year. i dont think rhcp will be playing. i think its gonna be green day, beasties flaming lips soundgarden muse and some big electronic act like justice or something. perrys was big last year and building off of that get a electronic act on on the main stages this year
and those many others might be…
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SOUNDGARDEN, BEASTIE BOYS
the flaming lips, thom yorke, justice
phoenix, wolf parade, does it offend you yeah, white denim, akron/familty, apes, john frusciante, jurassic 5, heartsrevolution, great lake swimmers, dr dog, deadmau5, z trip……. plus many more
Interesting to see if System of a Down will be reuniting. Lolla would be the perfect place.
Interesting. I guess the Pearl Jam rumor is just that?
I would bet on the following:
Green Day
Soundgarden
Beastie Boys
Flaming Lips
How about some hints Mark?
post that shit
POST IT!!
No.
I know the line-up. The question is should i post it?
coming from a story CoS posted, the bassist from SOAD recently tweeted: “are you guys ready for system”, i think lolla would be perfect for a reunion show, it certainly would provide a HUGE name no other festival could possibly get which would then turn lolla into a unique and one of the hottest festival tickets all summer. them crooked vultures, i think are a long shot…their first ever show, was a late night set after lolla, and when the beasties cancelled how come they didnt replace them? instead the yeah yeah yeahs, i think if they really wanted the lolla spot they would have taken it last year…
the retard remark was pretty funny. but what would be EXTRA FUNNY, is if i had a chance to show you just how RETARDED i can get, while i was beating your ass.
I’m pretty sure soundgarden is a given…as they played lolla in the early 90’s, if you folks havent noticed year after year perry has been bringing in someone that used to play the festival in the 90’s, i can even go in chronological order: 2006-RHCP, 2007-PEARL JAM, 2008- RATM, 2009- TOOL, thats not to say there havent been other bands that have played in the 90’s and 21st century…
no retard
does jane’s addiction perform each year?
Pavement is playing Pitchfork so they won’t be at lolla.
j, i only like 2 of those headliners. that better not the headliners
Hopeful Headliners:
Friday:
Pavement/Pearl Jam
Saturday:
Muse/Thom Yorke
Sunday:
Soundgarden/System of a Down
Bands that Should Be At Lolla:
Surfer Blood
Yeasayer
Hot Chip
Muse
Them Crooked Vultures
Vampire Weekend
Soundgarden
Thom Yorke????
chris are this years version of johnny j or something?
Yeah, second on Soundgarden. It fits the bill. With PJ, NIN, Rage, Radiohead, and all the other 90’s bands that have come, Soundgarden definately would take the place of that typical big 90’s headliner.
Also, Faith No More is playing Coachella, maybe they’ll trip to Chicago for Lolla.
Lips and Muse is wishful thinking, though I think it will happen. I’m more concerned about who the “random” headliner will be. For that, Tiesto, ATB, possibly another techno/dance artist will occur. It’s been overdue since Daft Punk headlined so it wouldn’t surprise me to see someone big like that take a slot.
Them Crooked Vultures better be booked…….or else
Muse headlined in ‘07, and guess who else… Pearl Jam.
Soundgarden. I’m calling it now.
ill rather have muse than pearl jam. thank u very much
Didnt Muse just headline like 2 years ago?..No thanks
rustyshankar -
Muse already has a date in Chicago in March and there are A LOT of rumors saying that they will be a headliner. And Vampire Weekend probably has a shot for a low headliner or 2nd tier band this year, considering that they were a 3rd tier band last year and their new album just hit #1 on Billboard. My bet is they’ll be a headliner at Pitchfork instead.
Also, Pearl Jam probably won’t be a headliner, and if Them Crooked Vultures do play, probably not one of the top 3 headliners.
It’ll probably look something like: Muse, Beastie Boys/Jay-Z, Soundgarden, Them Crooked Vultures, Arcade Fire, Flaming Lips. (possibly Vampire Weekend or LCD Soundsystem)
pearl jam at wrigley? i heard phish…
rumors have surfaced that the 3 main headliners will be Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Them Crooked Vultures.
Yeasayer put on an amazing show at Lolla 2 years ago. I’d expect them back this year.
@Harry: don’t think Vampire Weekend will be there. played Lolla last year and have a date in Chicago already.
PJ wiil be at Wrigley Field, not Lolla
“X Japan? exciting but I’m not sure how American audiences will respond to that.. what with racism and all”
peteOFawesome…You’re a moron.
i’ve been hearing a rumor about ringo starr playing lolla. his tour dates fit.
Phoenix is indeed awesome.
X Japan? exciting but I’m not sure how American audiences will respond to that.. what with racism and all
Soundgarden
Smashing Pumpkins
Beastie Boys
BEASTIE BOYS
Why have you switched the “confirmed” section to “expected”?
Indies that should be at Lolla:
The xx
Beach House
Spoon
LCD Soundsystem
Grizzly Bear
Vampire Weekend
Arcade Fire
Japandroids
Cymbals Eat Guitars
Girls
RE: X Japan
-wtf?
Just booked my flight!
I hope they book some great bands!
Any words or ideas on DJ’s at Perry’s this year? Cudi was fun there last year and I’m praying (probably with false hope) either Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, or Paul Van Dyke will make a trip out to chicago
Where’s johhnny J when you need him?
If The Flaming Lips are confirmed, they will almost assuredly bring their new “protégé” band, Stardeath & White Dwarfs, along with them.
alot of buzz lately that soundgarden’s reunion tour could make a stop at lolla. wouldn’t surprise me if farrell tapped them as one of the headliners to the bill.
“Last.fm has confirmed Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Interpol, The White Stripes, Girl Talk, Justice, and The Strokes.”
No they weren’t. You obviously read it wrong. The comment said that those bands were added, then removed, and that they were wishful thinking by someone.
Only bands confirmed still The Flaming Lips and Phoenix.
Last.fm has confirmed Daft Punk, Arcade Fire, Interpol, The White Stripes, Girl Talk, Justice, and The Strokes.
Quite early to get excited, but it’s looking like Aug 6-8 is shaping up to be a beautiful weekend based on the confirmations and some of the rumors.
Bush
GET FAITH NO MORE FOR F$@*’S SAKE!!!
I cant wait for the small band confirms to start rolling in!!!! :o)
Headliners are great and all, but I always have a way better time during the day @ Lolla
Buzz –
Phoenix confirmation comes from independent source. They are playing Coachella as well.
Where is this Phoenix confirmation on their myspace?
The FLips did say they were playing Lolla at the Allstate show, btw.
Someone on the PJ message board has also said that a friend wxrt has stated a real possibility of PJ at lolla again.
Seems a bit soon for PJ again.
Again?
take this for what its worth, but I was told by a pretty reliable source from my buddy @ spin who said pearl jam is going to be one of the headliners
Re: The Flaming Lips
Can either of you two email me with more info. I’ll look into it.
i agree saw the flaming lips last friday. wayne said it. agree lips lolla 2010
the flaming lips will be playing lollapalooza 2010. this was verbally confirmed by coyne at the chicago show.
When did Coyne say that? At the show last Friday?
Wayne Coyne said he hoped to see everyone at Lolla.
http://www.last.fm/event/1182385+Lollapalooza+2010
Last.fm says Voodoo Graze is playing Lolla 2010.
Mark -
If you have a tip and would like to share it with CoS, then shoot us an email using our comment form: http://consequenceofsound.net/contact-us/
We’ll check it out and do the appropriate research and fact checking. If it turns out to be accurate, we’ll add it to the Outlook.
Just post your info as Mark. If it turns out to be correct, we will remember you next year.
So Alex, how would you like me to post if I do have info on festivals and if you don’t believe me that I did use the Johnny J as an alias?
You do know that anyone can write whatever name they want in this section?
Should I just not worry about it and keep the info to myself?
Mark (as that is the name you have previously commented under) —
It is no secret that the username “Johnny J” has rather grand connotations when it comes to this dark little world of ours pertaining to festival rumors. In an effort to ensure validity and prevent anyone from getting there hopes up, the username cannot be used by anyone except the real “Johnny J.” As I know who that is, there is no point in continuing this debate.
Thank you for reading!
There has been a slight Sound Garden rumor going around for festivals and I agree about the Beasties and Muse but I think instead of Foo you have to consider Them Crooked Vultures.
no really alex, where is the source on this thing. because i really hope phoenix is actually playing.
That was not the real Johnny J. He hasn’t commented on this site since March. Considering the clout of that username, I’ll have to delete comments from anyone using it who is not actually him. Hopefully, that eliminates any confusion.
jonnny j who else? daft punk? muse? foo fighters?
vampire weekend was at last years lolla. Sry fuck. i think the headliners r weezer muse beastie boys justice or daft punk foo fighters white stripes. thats my predictions
Bring Vampire Weekend! Please! Also, more pluralized nouns!
phoenix is definitely a buzz band. theyve been making the exact same mediocre music for many years and only when pitchfork decided it was time to like them did people outside of france take any notice. its goofy.
let the biggest hater thread on all the festival threads start, assholes!!!!
You fucking lie! Show your source!
Your a dicknose. Phoenix can suck my balls. I love them, if love meant sucking my balls.
They’re not a buzz band loser. They have 4 albums worth of amazing music. Go listen to Slipknot, dicknose.
i like phoenix saw them back in september where is the source for them playing lolla.
source?
Phoenix is NOT shitty…
Sigh… Let the shitty buzz bands roll in.
Source?
