Lollapalooza 2009 ( Lineup Announced )

Posted on April 21, 2009 |

Meh.

I was waiting to see what the complete lineup would look like and i’m pretty much
underwhelmed.

On the headliners side, only Depeche Mode and Beastie Boys are worth my
time and I’ll be seeing them live a few weeks before Lolla is in full swing.

As for the non-headlining bands, Vampire Weekend, Animal Collective,
Band Of Horses, Silversun Pickups, Glasvegas, The Raveonettes, No Age,
Bat For Lashes, Friendly Fires, Manchester Orchestra does it for me but
would it be worth my time and money just to see those bands i’ve seen many
a times in venues all around my neck of the woods?

Alot of the same bands are on the All Points West bill and you have bands
like Elbow, My Bloody Valentine, Mogwai, Yeah Yeah Yeahs … not on
Lollapalooza’s which makes it way more appealing to yours truly.

Seems I’ve already made up my mind.

So … What d’yall think?

Happy? Sad? Nonplus about this year’s lineup?
