The Black Keys Fan Lounge Forum

Man, I'd love to go.

Can't.

*kill me now*

Yeah it should be pretty cool but I don't think I'm going to buy a 3-day pass. It's $250+
Nice to have the festival in my own backyard though. Sleeping in your own bed each night and taking a shower... priceless.
I'll probably buy tix for 1 or 2 of the "aftershows" and maybe grab a one day pass once the schedule is released. The Keys always do an aftershow at the Metro, but who knows now that they play arenas.
I just don't dig the outdoor festival scene as much as I once did. Getting too old maybe? heh. To me it's more of an expensive party with some bands/music sorta kinda playing in the background. And the party has crappy overpriced food and beverage.
I guess I'm just a whiner, but I'll take a small indoor show over a huge outdoor festival any day. Seeing 2 bands I like at an indoor show is equal to or greater than seeing 10 bands I like at an outdoor gig. Especially if it's really hot or rainy. Hard to relax and enjoy the show...

I fear I too have outgrown the Outdoor Festy experience. It was once all I lived for, but shit changes drastically when you are 30 and have a wifey and kid with you. Nonetheless, that lineup is pretty sick, and im definitely happy for all that attend.
I seriously doubt TBK and Jack play the same day and time slot, Mirby, but I hope it happens. And I hope like 35 people show up for the Jack show!

I would ditch my coachella ticket in a heartbeat and go to lolla if I could see Pulp and Radiohead elsewhere.

Also fuck anybody who says they hope jack white and the keys play at the same time! come on mirb you said you were a regular at festivals, how awful is it when two bands you would love to see have conflicting set times! the worst. but on another note, if the white stripes were on that lineup you really think the keys would get a bigger crowd? i couldn't picture that.

that would suck if i had to choose id pick the keys i like jack a lot but id always pick the keys

Sounds like a deal. Except we'd never get into Kuma's unless we were the first people there at opening. That place usually has a 2 hour wait. Plus they're soooo fucking cool - I really can't stand that place. Mostly because of the clientele and the crazy wait times. My wife and I used to go there when they first opened (we live less than a mile away) and we would get to sit anywhere we wanted because there would only be like 2 other customers in there. Now that they've gotten all this success you'd think they would expand or do something about the 2 hour wait times. Nope. They could give a shit. That's why I don't spend my money there anymore. They don't show me that they want my money. They disrespect me by basically sending the message that I should feel happy and lucky to wait two hours to hand them my hard earned cash. They be on some bullllllshit...

But the bowl smoking... that we can definitely do.

Okay folks well apparently Lollapalooza is only on Friday August 3rd...

Okay not really but for what I'm into - that statement is basically ture. I just bought a single day ticket for Friday. Black Keys, Black Angels, Black Sabbath, Tame Impala, Dr Dog, The Growlers and a few other goodies too. All on Friday.
Jack White is on Sunday. Seems like they may have grouped similar bands on each day, which is awfully nice of them. $100 for all those bands on Friday is not a bad deal. I'm glad I didn't bother with a $230+ 3-day pass.

See you dudes there. I'll be the tall guy.
