Add the Verve to the lineup.

The NIN show was unbelievable last year. Radiohead was pretty awesome too. I think Bonnaroo has my heart this year with Phish, NIN, and the Beasties.

Although, It would be pretty awesome to see Depeche Mode…

“I don’t wanna sound like a queer or nothin’, but I think Depeche Mode is a sweet band! ”

– Dave the Lighting Guy in Orgasmo

This sounds like a bunch of lollapaLOSERS.

Get a real lineup!!

I think TV on the Radio would be a great and worthy successor to Radiohead.

The only thing that will save this lineup is TOOL.

Why is it that Europe can line up amazing festival after amazing festival and we get crap in the U.S.? The Beastie Boys are like 50 years old and can’t remember their lyrics.

Can’t wait to see Jane’s Addiction and Kings of Leon! Other potentials I would love to see on the list are:
The newly-reformed Wolfmother
The Black Keys (Missed them last year)
The Black Angels
The Warlocks
Liam Finn
Alice in Chains
Relentless 7
Chris Cornell (despite his latest record)
Queens of the Stone Age
Scott Weiland Solo
Sublime (New lead singer)

I wonder if anyone on that list will make it out! Can’t wait!!

I think they should put Lollapalooza back on the road again. I’d like to see a lineup like This: Pearl Jam, NIN, Jane’s Addiction, Smashing Pumpkins,Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, reformed Alice in Chains,etc. Enough of this 2-3 day Chicago BS.

forgot to Add, STP, Chris Cornell, like the other guy said Tool, maybe Rage against the Machine.

The lineup should be U2, Metallica, Green Day, AC/DC, System of a Down, Slipknot, Jay-Z, Taproot, Coldplay, Eminem, Tool, Limp Bizkit, Phish, and the re-united Creed and then maybe I’d go.

tool is terrible

A Great Lineup would be Pearl Jam, STP, reformed Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, Chris Cornell, Kings of Leon, NIN, Smashing Pumpkins, Toll etc. also I think Lollapalooza should return to being a touring festival. Driving to Chicago is ridiculous. Let’s hope Lollapalooza tours again soon. hopfully coming to Minnesota.

Depeche Mode…worth ticket alone.

Some of you have just awful taste in music.

Nothing beats last year.

nothing.

Depeche Mode in itself makes it better than last year!

It’s all about Chicago, also forget the new-metal and arena rock bands lolla is about more talented groups than that.

For those of you who don’t know kings of leon, listen to them (Aha Shake Heartbreak is my fav album by them) one of the most talented and legitimate rock bands out there right now. I’d go to lolla to see them alone.

we shoudl remane the lollapalooza to Tour of the Universe in Chicago!

I can’t wait to see Depeche!!!!

CYPRESS HILL!!

Wow, that’s doesn’t even come close to last year so far . . .

Haha Cypress Hill would be classic!

Peter Frampton!
Smashing Pumpkins!

Faith No More

Faith No More

Kings of Leon make the festival worth it. Best band of the festival.

Here’s a few acts that I think belong:
Metallica
Kid Rock
AC/DC
Foo Fighters
The Black Crowes
Staind
Papa Roach
Faith No More

And also:
Anvil
The White Stripes
Guns and Roses

Kings of Leon suck!!! One hit wonder waiting to happen

did someone down there mention Creed?

just don’t even go if you’re serious

DUDE MAN, that is a terrible list. PLease get serious.

Kings of Leon are one of the most amazing, most humble band I have ever seen live. They were so thankful to grace the stage in 2006. And Eddie Vedder joining them with tambourines was quite a sight!

Hell yes Lolla 2009. Thank goodness I only live 1 hour away.

Nice to see Kings of Leon headlining, terrific live band. It’s sad to see them sell-out to an extent but they are finally getting the respect in the US that they deserve.

Realistic hopes for other bands:
TV on the Radio
Animal Collective
The Roots
Fleet Foxes
Dr. Dog
The Whigs
Delta Spirit
Deerhunter

I’m sorry to say because the truth hurts, but the majority of the people that have written suggestions have unbelievably horrible taste in music. Just horrible.
Scott Weiland, STP, Chris Cornell, Metallica, Foo Fighters, System Of A Down, Slipknot, Taproot, Limp Bizkit(are you kidding me?), Creed(What?),Kid Rock, Staind, Papa Roach.
People who like those bands should be burned at the stake for lack of intelligence and for having bad taste. The musicians in those bands should all be burned too, but on TV.

LOALLA LOVE really now Kings of Leon amazing? They put out one of the stupidest songs last year(a.k.a. Sex on Fire). A kid in middle school could have wrote that.

While this year’s headliners don’t come close to 2008’s, I will still go. The side stages will most likely feature some hot new acts, and I am hoping the other two “arena-sized” acts to be announced are decent. Papa Roach though? C’mon folks. Wise up.

For one lala should not be a tour again, its got a nice home in chi city. I would like to see tv on the radio, yeah yeah yeahs, some handsome furs would be nice, who ever said creed and papa roach is retarded.

it would be SWEET if the white stripes could come and play for us!!!! my favorite would be jack & meg, the chili peppers, the shins, kings of leon, u2, the killers!

The Flaming Lips would be great with a new album out and the Smashing Pumpkins would be a nice Chicago connection.

How can anyone talk shit on the Foo Fighters? Just because they sell more albums than your indie band doesn’t mean they don’t rock. They put on one of, if not THE BEST live shows of anyone, and I have seen everyone. They killed at ACL last year

REO SPEEDWAGON…and then whomever else REO SPEEDWAGON approves for us to enjoy.

ALL HAIL THE DARK OVERLORD…REO SPEEDWAGON!!!

Wilco also has a suspicious gap in their touring schedule around the Lolla dates. Think they would play two years in a row? Normally, I wouldn’t, but hey, they are Chicago boys. I hope so. That would seal the deal for me.

Whoever down there said Kings of Leon were a one hit wonder should really do their music research! They’ve been around awhile and if you don’t have Aha Shake Heartbreak then you are missing out. Other bands I’d like to see:
TV on the Radio
Manchester Orchestra
The Whigs (I saw them open for KOL and they’re great)

Just because someone has different taste in music than you doesn’t mean you have the right to bash them for it.
I’d love to see the following:
Slipknot
Foo Fighters
Avenged Sevenfold
Buckcherry
Bullet For My Valentine
Offspring
Nine Inch Nails
Maybe Kings Of Leon
Rock at it’s finest…sort of.

That is a great line up. DM and JA are two of my favorite bands and are both amazing live. I have followed Kings of Leon for severla years. They had to come to the Uk to make their name as they know that the average US punter is either Kid Rock or Britney.

Love Depeche Mode. Their new album and tour is gonna rock!!

Some of you are truly pathetic.
I think you’re confused this isnt Ozzfest!!! Oh really Lollapaloser?
Depeche Mode is outstanding live first off. Others that should be there but are a long shot
Portishead
Bjork
Thiev ery Corporation
Lauryn Hill
Hot Chip
Santogold
Common
Eryka h Badu
Outkast

Any non-Depeche fans will become Mode fans once they see them live at palooza. They’re a great live band and will surprise some pople who have a distorted view on this band based on the perception that they are an 80s band. They are far from it!! They’re one of the bands that got started in the 80s and have still been able to make great albums throughout the last 20-30 years!! great band!!

I would travel to chicago just 2 see depeche mode i live in london and im goin 2 the tour of the universe in the 02 in may WA HOO for people who havent seen dm live where have you been for the last 30 years ….btw kings of leon suck

You Depeche fans are obsessed and loyal in a scary fuckin way!!!

Not one person said Pearl Jam… i know they play the festival often but they are one of the best festival bands out there

DEPECHE rule live!! But they aren’t coming to Vancouver on this tour which sucks. If Daft Punk were also playing Lolla this year, I would fly to Chicago.
BTW I wish Lolla would tour again. I went to ‘93, 94, 95, and maybe ‘96 (cant remember) in Vancouver and they were some of the best shows I’ve seen.
I agree with the guy that said Lollapalooza is NOT Ozzfest! Guns N Roses??? Are you kiddinge?
Off the top of my head here are some that I think work perfectly for it:
The Prodigy
Cypress Hill
Depeche Mode
Daft Punk
Breeders
Underworld
Tears For Fears
Primus
Björk
Orbital
and …
Porno For Pyros!

Whoops i forgot to add:
KMFDM

I feel that a lineup that has less people with a cult following like last year will decrease the huge crowds and make it safer and more comfortable for people.

Love that Depeche Mode is going to play…This is the first time they’ve done a festival, should be interesting.
Other acts that would be great to see in the mix:

The Killers
White Lies
The Rifles

(if you haven’t heard of those last two bands, please go check them out…They are relatively new, and they are awesome. I haven’t been this excited about music in a long time!)
