If we all just channel our hopes and dreams on Blur, I think it will happen people! CMON!

that would almost, almost, almost make me want to go. where else could i finally see Blur and Tool at the same show?

Agreed with you on that. Still holding out for Blur.

I hope not. I love Justice, but that would just underscore the fact that they owe Daft Punk their career.

There's going to be one more headliner and it will be an electronic act.

Hard to completely call until the rest of the performers are announced, but seems pretty weak compared to Bonaroo and Coachella this year. The fact that the Killers are headlining both Lolla and Coachella just blows my mind. Does anyone even like their new album?? Haven't seen the Killers since the first return of Lolla to Chicago (nor have I really wanted to), but I remember them being pretty horrible live. Brandon Flowers seems to be a pretentious ass that just can't back up the talk. It would be hard to justify $300 based on what I know so far.

I just wonder if these bands are sufficient to make someone wish they had not moved from Chicago.

Wow. In the sense that in a way I feel like this is pretty lackluster.

I see you are very passionate about this.

These headliners are like the headliners they would have back in the day of the original Lolla (circa 1992).

I'm moving out of Chicago this summer to work back on the east coast. Honestly, when August rolls around I don't see myself going "I really wish I could have stayed in Chicago one more summer to see Lolla this year." It's hard to top last year though.
