#RSFans React to 2012 Lollapalooza Lineup

Yesterday, Lollapalooza announced the lineup for its 21st year, featuring Black Sabbath, Jack White, The Black Keys, and Red Hot Chili Peppers headlining over the course of the festival’s three days.

Naturally, we wanted to see how fans reacted to the full announcement…

THE GOOD

It took less than 24 hours for me to give into@lollapalooza after the line up went up #broke #ohwell #lolla

Well I know where I’m going to be in August. Hello Chi-Town. Could this line-up be any more appealing? bit.ly/IpnW5h #lolla

Why do all the music festivals decide to have amazing lineups in the same summer? #bonnaroo #lolla #springawakening #northcoast #summercamp

I question people’s taste in music if they think the lineup for #Lolla isn’t good

@lyssacamacho if you have spotify (and you should!!), here’s a complete playlist of #lolla acts. Enjoy 🙂 goo.gl/DWu5t

@perryfarrell I haven’t been to #lolla since ’91 & ’92. But I’m coming back this year! #oldandintheway

@atrain2324 Ha, thanks! So many of these groups/performers are new to me, and I spend a lot of time listening to music. The fun of #Lolla.

— Marcus Leshock (@marcusleshock) April 11, 2012

Starting down the #Lolla lineup. I think if I listen to roughly 1-2 bands per work day on Spotify I can cover them all before August.

erasing my whole iTunes and downloading only songs from lollapalooza artists #preparation

Making my lollapalooza list when I should probably just go to bed….no homework got done tonight. #askmeificare

— paige (@paige_witty) April 12, 2012

So, the set list for Lollapalooza isn’t real heavy hip hop this year….which may be eve more reason to go.

— Calvin RaShaud(@TheCalculation) April 12, 2012

The fact that @AtTheDriveIn is playing in Chicago this summer is still blowing my mind. Get ready to kick out the epic, @Lollapalooza.

THE BAD

Really Lollapalooza, your wild card is reuniting Black Sabbath (again)? 1999 called and wants to capture my 14-year-old self’s attn again.

— Jay DeVoy (@jmdiv) April 12, 2012

So, @pitchforkfest lineup > @lollapalooza lineup…again

— Paul Cusentino (@paulcusentino) April 12, 2012

everybodys talking about this lollapalooza nonsense #pricey

— Chris DeLeon (@cdeleon_) April 12, 2012

(Something inflammatory regarding Lollapalooza.)

— R Pan (@Pontoon_Panasy) April 12, 2012

My favorite thing about the #lolla lineup announcement is that #idol loser Haley Reinhart is billed at the very bottom. #1230timeslot

— Glorious Noise (@gloriousnoise) April 12, 2012

Guess we know why @perryfarrell was so mad when @lollaleaks tweeted the fake earlier… because it was much better than the real one #lolla

— Ryan Charles Brown (@senatorbrown) April 11, 2012

THE GOOFY

I went to Coachella when it was called Lollapalooza. #1992

— Buzz Bishop (@buzzbishop) April 12, 2012

#excellentwords Lollapalooza. That one gets me every time

— Lewis Rae (@GoodbyeMrRae) April 12, 2012

did lollapalooza choose their name pre-internet cause that shit’s kinda ridiculous

— Joshua Geoghegan (@JoshGeoghegan) April 12, 2012

How I pick bands for my #Lolla lineup: “Is that guy holding a banjo? I’m in!” Love me some banjo.

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain #lolla 2012 #iwishsealwasgoing

— Dan Larson (@TheRealDanLarso) April 12, 2012

Save yer arm (and yer money?) rt @nattybinker: I’d give my right arm to go to #lolla – what a line up

— Perry Farrell (@perryfarrell) April 12, 2012

Owl city is “likely” to return to #lolla. Band members are currently in a fued that started over a bag of gummy worms.

— David Ellis(@D_manEllis) April 12, 2012

Having fun imagining my 7 yr old nephew at Black Sabbath in our annual trip to #lolla

— Andrea Wood (@Andrea_123) April 11, 2012

really looking forward to the fact that i will get to shower over the span of august 3-5. #lolla

— Alex Carter (@Mr_Carter6) April 11, 2012

Disappointed Beyonce isn’t in the final #lolla lineup. Any chance she’s joining At the Drive-In?
