So, it's the 20th Anniversary of Lolla this year. The festival will be held August 5th-7th. The lineup comes out next Tuesday, but you can find out who some of the artists are now by playing a trivia game on Facebook. They're releasing three clues a day as to who performers may be. So far the clues have been:
Muse: ("Originally there were nine. Plato called Sappho the tenth. This band must be the eleventh.", April 18)
Damian Marley & Nas: ("Add a legend’s son to a part of The Firm.", April 19)
Delta Spirit: ("To call them multi-instrumentalists is an understatement. These Long Beach folksters’ unconventional musical arsenal includes trash can lids and timpanis.", April 19)
Foster the People: ("If you're not careful these people might pop an ollie on your pooch.", April 18)
Lykke Li: ("Will Mark This Scandinavian Siren’s second lolla set.", April 20)
Skylar Grey: ("Name aside, her skies are looking very blue these days.", April 18)
Tennis: ("This Duo Courts fans with their Rad racket.", April 20)
The Vaccines: ("An injection of their garage rock wards off the blues.", April 19)
Ween: ("Despite their Rhyming stage name, these two aren’t brothers.", April 20) (Though there's the smallest of possibilities this could be RZA & GZA)
The list of potential bands from the Lollaboard are as follows:
All in all, I'm not quite as excited for Lolla this year, and am likely going to go to all three days of Pitchfork this year and just one of Lolla (did the opposite last year). Kind of disappointing since this is the 20th anniversary and all.
I'll try and get a mod to edit this first post when the real lineup comes out if that'll help avoid confusion.
