Official Lollapalooza Speculation Thread- 2020

[Tweet]

Hello, you there. Post your Lolla information/rumors in this thread. Please give me a source too. This year I will count reddit shit because some of you masochists go on there and also I think I did last year anyway.

Edit 3/5: With all due respect, thank you for keeping this tradition running while I did a 30 day detox in a remote mountain village

Pick Your Favorite Acts on the Oshega Lineup, but not Kraftwerk

Things that may be things
Can Pearl Jam really play this thing? Who among us can really say?
A man with a twitter account says Chief Keef is playing
Kid Cudi will play, unless he does not

A BUNCH OF FUCKING FRAUDS
Anyone who claimed My Chemical Romance was playing. Kiss my ass, redditors. You fucking frauds.

Only confirmation is MCR as of now I think.

Confirmation came from the MCR subreddit source that knows all the info

Off to a flying stop in this thread

Bump if you're keeping score at home

[Pale Hose]

I would say a free radio show in April certainly doesn't rule out Grouplove. Try to contain your excitement thebosma.

[thebosma]

The highlight of their aftershow a few years ago was that I got to sit down for a bit (on the toilet) and have a snack (an Andes mint, eaten while sitting down for a bit on the toilet).

[regionrat6337]

Not really sure that Phoebe will be playing this. I know she's on tour with The 1975 but she isn't playing their last tour date in Georgia, and they play Roo the day after that which she isn't on the lineup for either

[Tweet]

Yes that is what the "rumored" section is for

she's probably not listed for the georgia date because she's playing shaky knees. she might even get added after the fest.

Lauv is skipping Chicago and has other shows in the Midwest around Lolla

I have never heard that name but apparently he's written for Charli, Demi, and board darling Celine Dion, which is a mood

Although I do not expect this to show up as confirmed because I cannot tell you how I know but, I can in fact confirm this is happening.  I can even tell you it will be Friday.  

[teekoh]

Happy to confirm c1916 has written for Charli, Demi, and board darling Celine Dion.

[jimmyrecard]

I am very ok with Lauv at Lolla.

The hype this year has me more excited for Lolla than anytime in the last few years. Can't wait to be let down.

[claypoolfan]

That Lauv tour came through the riviera a couple of months ago. I had a few friends go who pregamed at my place beforehand and played him during that and I agree that it was fine/not objectionable at all.

I like a lot of trash though ymmv.

Same, all of our sins will be made visible when the "Does this band suck?" thread rolls out

[jimmyrecard]

Guys, I dont wanna turn this into a trash pissing contest, but only one of us actively enjoys Grouplove.

[mookie]

Foos, Lizzo and Kendrick headlining Oshega, so they are all in play

[Pale Hose]

Foos make so much more sense than PJ, and are also well overdue.

[wanny]

Please please please MCR against Lizzo and not Kendrick

[thebosma]

I’m hoping that if we get the Foo Fighters there’s an artist that’s actually good opposite them.
