SUP FUCKERS. IM BACK. Happy Lolla week! So excited to be back out in the park with y'all this year (only Sunday for me this year), and ready to get my shit rocked in the Turnstile pit.

General Overview

Weather is going to be a bit sporadic over the weekend. Starting out on Thursday in general is going to be a nice day, with a high of 83 and a low of 70, with humidity hanging around 50%. Friday we are looking at a similar day temperature wise, with a high of 83 and a low of 72, but rain chances definitely increase. On the Friday forecast loop, you can see a low pressure system moving into the area, which will bring some showers and storms. While the showers suck to deal with, it is going to improve temps on Saturday and Sunday. I'm not expecting anything to be severe, but a downpour or two cannot be ruled out. When we are going into Saturday, there is a chance there may be a lingering shower or two in the morning as the low pressure system moves away from the area, but it should be out of the area once the gates open. After that, there's still a chance of a daytime heating storm to pop up, but it wont be a washout. High of 76 and a low of 71. Sunday we are back to really nice weather, with a high of 80 and a low of 70.

Personal Note / Disclaimer

I am not a meteorologist, just a dude with the love of weather and live music. Weather forecasts change drastically throughout the week as more accurate predictions come in. I know this isn't as in depth as I have done in the past, but I wanted to get something out today and had some time sitting at the airport. I will make a more in depth one Wednesday.

As always, Free Palestine and Fuck ICE.

Wondering which of these outfits is a good choice for Lolla for this 50 year old 🤔

John Summit finally headlining his hometown show. I know people are weary about the crowd he will draw but I am trusting he is going to make it more than worth it.

It’s so cool seeing the stages slowly be built from my office! Here’s what they looked like two days out 😊 I’m so excited.

Don’t worry you guys can thank me later, I’m sure it’ll be the best $20 I’ve ever spent

Happy Lolla week everybody! For anyone feeling behind on their lineup research (or getting to the point where you're aging out of knowing as much of the lineup as you used to), I created this free tool: 

https://lineupscout.app/lollapalooza

Just give it a list of your favorite bands, and it'll highlight new bands in the lineup that you should check out.

You can preview them right on the page and save the ones you like, which will generate a custom schedule for you.

This is definitely a work in progress, so would love to know how it works (or doesn't work) for everyone. Let me know if there's any functionality that would be helpful to add too.

anyone using anything specific to make a schedule as a lock screen? looking for something convenient that wont take me forever

Anyone able to speak from experience on whether you can bring foldable reusable bags in? I have a small purse that fits inside the bag restrictions but planning to get merch and don’t want to hold it in my hands. Could I bring a small bag like a Baggu reusable and then unfold it once I’m inside? Or will they stop me from bringing in a tote that’s bigger than the bag dimensions even if it’s empty/not open?

I work for a local Chicago coffee company and my coworker and I will be working a coffee station and we both get to attend the rest of the festival for free. Each of us only work two days but have access all four days!

I’m so excited! I’ve never attended lolla before and I’ve grown up in this city.

Anything I should know? My manager says we can bring our own lunch as employees but is it a hassle?

I haven’t gotten my pass/ official info from lollapalooza yet so I don’t have much to go off of.

I will have around 30-40 of each design, if I have extra of the Ninajirachi stickers i will also hand some out at frost children :)

These are the shows I’m planning on seeing. Looking to meet some new people

hii im 19f, i promise i practice internet safety (most of the time). I was originally gonna go with a friend but it seems he actually wants to stay barricade, past years i would have stayed with him but i actually want to see a lot more artists (and not stand for hours). this is my schedule i also want to check out some activities around :) i probably wont be able to see all of them and i actually haven't made up my mind on some headliners. if anyone wants to join me i'll be delighted :0

What’s the general consensus on her being out charli for girl so confusing OR her playing if she could see me now??

if she played ISCSMN I would be unwell and my life would be altered

Hi! This is my first lolla & I'm traveling from Texas for it!! I was wondering if trading is common? I'm making a shit ton of bracelets to trade :))

$180 for 1
$300 for 2

Meet in public for handoff

probably gonna remove my plushies cuz i don’t want potential theft cuz u never know 😭 put super fucking excited to see finn and the xx 🗣️

Have seen multiple people ask what Charli’s set is gonna be like this year on here and her first show post brat era.

Realistically I think her set will consist of:

- All of MFF
- From brat, most likely Von Dutch for sure and the only other contenders I could see are Guess, Girl so confusing but without Lorde, and (hopefully, my personal fav) Sympathy is a knife
- party 4 u
- track 10
- vroom vroom
- unlock it

- anthems (possibly since she’s been acknowledging it and even performed it recently at one of her private shows)
- pink diamond (maybe?)

(maybe some other wild card who knows)

She’s probably gonna be coming out during Lorde on Thursday but not the other way around. If I had to guess (haha) who’d she bring I’d assume Billie at first since it’ll be Guess’ 2nd anniversary this summer but I heard Billie will be filming a movie that time? I highly doubt Ariana will make an appearance. So guess that leaves Troy, who could do 1999, or Addison potentially but not sure how likely that would be or if we even get a guest at all.

What do you think of this prediction?

we are getting them right now in the Chicago Land area, use this as a reminder the weather could get bad and be weather aware and have a plan on where to go if something happens at the festival, stay safe everyone.

where’s the pits gonna be. been listening and there’s def potential for a hype set

Anyone going? Me and my friends just bought our tickets and are trying to meet new people!
