Lollapalooza Friday: Walkmen to Strokes
At 90 bucks a day (for the poor people), the festival is still too pricey. Trying to pass off Soundgarden as a headliner is a joke. And the ridiculous restrictions on bands playing alternative venues before or after the big fest is out of hand.
That said, there is a good lineup of music for those who want to spend up Friday. I can’t think of any other venue where I can see Mavis Staples and the Fuck Buttons on the same ticket.
My Lolla lineup begins at 1 p.m. Here are the bands I plan to see (in order of appearance): The Walkmen, Mavis Staples, Drive-By Truckers (and maybe sneak out to see Cymbals Eat Guitars), Devo, Dirty Projectors (or Fuck Buttons), the Black Keys (and part of Hot Chip), Jimmy Cliff and the Strokes. The headlining Strokes play at the same time as Lady Gaga.
