[Tweet]

Ok ok I'm here we're going sounds like we've got 2 headliners already how about that.

Confirmed
Skrillex
SZA

Plausible
Foo Fighters (maybe The Prentenders too since they're opening this tour) Hutson apparently says neigh
Blink-182
Pierce the Veil
Hozier
Tate McRae
The Last Dinner Party
Two Door Cinema Club
Flipturn (opener for TDCC)

Suspicious
Cody Jinks can only play Sunday 
Melanie Martinez sure seems like the kind of act to play before Hozier
This fuckin guy 
Faye Webster
Fruit Bats (Square Roots tho)
Charley Crockett, who whips, frankly. 
Luke Combs is available Thursday and Sunday of the fest, rest of tour skips Chicago, has Cody Jinks opening. Evidence says this could be the year of y'allapalooza.
Something called Wilderado is playing this thing according to reddit

Be Your Own Pet

Etc./Chvrch's Goss
SZA- a lock?
I dunno man Drake's new set of dates are really weird looking
Gnarles Barkley
Here's the Hinterland lineup which usually has some crossover with this fest
The vibes just feel right for The Killers and Cage The Elephant, I guess.
Lil Nas X
Slowdive might look lined up to play this thing?
Kid Cudi (wound up at the UC)

Big Names that are Out
Green Day/Smashing Pumpkins/Rancid
Chris Stapleton
Anyone announced at this venue between now and lineup drop
Probably Ed Sheeran
Sum 41, who are playing Riot Fest (see below)
Avril Lavigne
Pixies/Modest Mouse/Cat Power
Peso Pluma
Heart/Cheap Trick, which sounds like a cool bill tbh
Usher
Justin Timberlake
Pearl Jam
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Tinariwen
Vampire Weekend
The National/The War on Drugs
The Revivalists and Flipturn
Kid Cudi
Cage the Elephant and Young the Giant, both somehow still out there in the great blue yonder

Just saw this on my Facebook: FWIW codyjinks.com/all-events/

So, Cody Jinks could be playing on 8-4.

Maybe Lolla wants Y'allapalooza to happen again.

[nanatod]

could it be Tinley? Wrigley? not a sure thing, cosmo.

I think he could wind up as a Smokeout Headliner or possibly some Tinley show. He also could only theoretically play Sunday. This seems worth jotting down all the same at this point tho

Also if they want the yeehaw they should book Eric Church as a headliner who actually has history with the fest

[Tweet]

Does anyone have any updates to this first post now that we are in festival lineup announcement season

[cosmo]

I think I saw on reddit that Ed Sheeran is out due to being somewhere in Europe at the time of Lolla.

I would consider the Killers and Cage the Elephant may be possible.

[joeposh]

Foos aren't going to play. Huston mentioned he couldn't go back to acts like them when looking at this year -- too soon.

I'd assume Peso Pluma is in play for a 4-8 slot if he's not at Sueno.

While I know Paramore is in some sort of transition right now, I wouldn't be shocked to see them here if they do anything this year. They were almost certainly on the 2023 line-up at some point and then dropped, which might have been a push to this year.

It's sort of an exciting year as it's hard to tell today what's even on the board for this fall and Lolla booked a lot of the obvious acts that are on the fest circuit last year.

just received word of someone who will be making their way through the midwest at the end of july

would rival billy joel as the greatest potential-booking of all time for lollapalooza

this artist is referenced in two enduring teen comedies, each from a different decade

any guesses?

Aerosmith

[chvrchbarrel]

what an amazing guess, assuming you're pulling from wayne's world 2 and dazed and confused

but no

[dij22]

God dammit

[Pale Hose]

FWIW that was a good guess.

[isyourbedmade]

Are we talking band or solo act?

[chvrchbarrel]

Solo act but performs with a band(stand!)

damn this is the first one that came to mind for me 



Still hilarious

[monasterymonochrome]

I was getting all hyped for a Bosstones reunion before the "solo artist" clue dropped. Bummer.

[munkivelli]

Peter Gabriel?

(I guess this hinges on whether or not The Rocker counts as a teen comedy)

[teekoh]

Wayne Newton

[chvrchbarrel]

Tens of thousands of teens dancing so refined, drinking themselves half blind, losing their youth and losing their Tonys while they lose their minds

[irvred]

I tried googling that and it legit recommended me a suicide hot line

[chvrchbarrel]

its already been guessed

[chvrchbarrel]

Tweet can you add barry manilow to the 'suspicious' column please

[Tweet]

Done.
