Yay!  I didn't think it was gonna happen.

Y'all come visit, please!  :)

This is pretty amazing. Chicago...Milwaukee..and Lolla. Thank you.

 I remember someone thinking the KahBang Fest in Bangor, ME would eliminate Lolla's chances, but they'll be a week apart.  Sweet!  I might make this.  My wife's folks live in Plainfield (next to Joliet) and we might make a visit up there to time it with this.  I'm liking some of the other acts, as well.  Here's an email I got from Lollapalooza:

So any Lolla vets have insight on when we'll see a schedule?  What's the deal on day passes?  I'd love to see MMJ, Foo Fighters, The Cars, maybe Bright Eyes, Grace P., etc.  What are the chances that MMJ and FF will be on the same day?

My Guess would be MMJ late sunday afternoon with the Foo closing.  When MMJ & PJ played a couple years ago thats how it was.

EDIT:   The more I look at that line-up I have know idea how they are gonna schedule.  I prefer a saturday nite over a sunday nite.

I was wondering if the boys would be headlining/closing the smaller main stage opposite either Coldplay or Eminem. 

Generally single tickets will go on sale later in summer after they have sold as many 3 day tickets as possible.

Anyone know if Ric Ocasek is back with the Cars, that would improve my overall thoughts on this Fest.

I think you have it.  The Pearl Jam fans arrived in a timely manner (six hours before PJ went on).  Ruined the show for the MMJ fans.  All they did was talk.

I'd had hoped this would happen, and it did! I'll definitely be there for the boys, but having gone to 3 out of the past 4 Lollas, I gotta say this line-up leaves something to be desired. Coldplay...really?

" The Cars " ,  takes me back to 1985 ( the year I graduated High School ),  I might have to bust out my parachute pants and my leather vest ( with no shirt on underneath ) which would not  be a pretty site to see me in these days.

I will be skipping this one for sure. Even with MMJ that lineup is just not appealing to me.

Keep an eye on the Lollapalooza forum - they will begin to piece together which bands play which day based on myspace/facebook/other tour dates.

No, MMJ will headline the north field.  The first six bands listed are always the headliners, not support acts (except in those years when there was an unopposed headliner like PJ and Radiohead, and I don't think we'll have that this year.)

Anyone know if Ric Ocasek is back with the Cars, that would improve my overall thoughts on this Fest.

I believe he is.

This isn't my favorite Lolla lineup by far, but there's lots of goodies in the undercard, and I'm going for free/cheap, so...I'm happy.

Those towns have made love and is now properly called joyfield or something like that I don't know anymore I'm moved south of the Illinois mason dixon line of Interstate 80

If mmj plays on a day with a couple other good acts I'll consider day passes. Unless this interferes with red rocks... i forgot to look at the dates.

[ALady]

Red Rocks is on a Thursday, Lolla is that Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

[e_wind]

oh well I'll be in the west for all of Lolla. Which is honestly a good thing cause i need to save  $ for PJ20

[mahg33ta]

according to people on the lollapalooza forum, MMJ is on for Saturday.   They figured it out somehow, but take this as unconfirmed.

[DaFunkyPrecedent]

I really hope they give them the smaller stage headlining slot against Em.  That would be ideal.  They already did an opening gig at Lolla -  this time they graduate.

It's the date listed for Lolla on the band's myspace.

I hope the band (or Jim solo) plays the Kidzapalooza stage again!
