Lollapalooza had a bit of a soggy start on Friday, but Saturday was marked by sunny, clear and hot weather. Perfect timing, too, considering the mid-afternoon's line-up consisted of some of my favorite electronic-dance artists like Brooklyn's Read more »

while the band of horses were being rebels, silversun pickups were defiantly tearing it up for the best show of the weekend for me. Im worried about ticket prices rising though. Why did the presales for next year say buy at "last years prices" ? oO

If Band of Horses were ever invited back, I hope they say no. They got shit on by Lou Reed, and had to chose between "respecting" the headliner or respecting their fans. Either decision, they were going to piss someone off. They chose right, and if Lolla is going to not pull the plug on Lou's self-indulgent/passive aggressive behavior, then Band of Horses is being put in a no-win situation. What an honor!

That stunt was great! You could still hear Band of Horses playing after Jane's finished their first song. I agree, they are never going to play Lolla again. Horses is better than Jane's anyway.
