Lollapalooza in Chicago!

[Basher]

http://www.lollapalooza.com/

Lineup includes Widespread Panic, Cake, G. Love & Special Sauce, Pixies, STS9 and more to come.

July 23 & 24 - Chicago.

Anyone have tips on cheap but good places to stay in Chi-town? Hotel rates look ridiculous.

This looks pretty good... Dinosaur Jr., Digable Planets and The Warlocks

this looks wicked....Soulive and arcade fire too.

This came up on another board.

Who are The Warlocks?

Obviously, that was the Dead's original name, and they used to do "anonymous" shows under that name in the late-80s, but I am presuming there is some new band with that name?

My point is, there's no reason to think it's The Dead, right?

(I'm sure this is a stupid question with an obvious answer.)

Although I'm not certain, I believe it's these guys... I don't know what they sound like, but if it was the Dead I'd assume they'd be headlining the show...

I can't wait till they cancel it... that was definately my highlight from last year.

Agreed... [color:purple]That wasn't disappointing at all...

[SmoothedShredder]

Don't get me wrong... they're making a good move making it a stationary Festival. It just bums me out that so much of last years set was this years set too. It seems to make more sense though. Wish them luck...

So what are we going to bring to the Toronto Area of this Magnitude... Or does the Ampitheathre just fill this niche?

I like the whole camping aspect though.

Anywho.
