Is there anywhere that they say which day(s) the different groups will be playing?

 

at some point, the schedule will be made available on the lolla site. keep in mind it may be tomorrow after the lineup is offically announced.

I think it's usually several weeks before they release the schedule. That way people buy the 3 day pass assuming they will see all of their favorite bands. Then in actuality, when the schedule is released, they find out several of their favorites are playing at the same time at opposite ends of the park.

I'm still hoping to rate local enough to volunteer...but if all else fails I will email Wilco's people and ask if I can do grunt work. I used to set up/tear down/be in charge of doing so for our youth group band..plus I've helped at a festival in Northern Ireland doing it the past few years :)

Now the website says "Aug 1-3" so either they forgot they weren't supposed to reveal the actual date or they forgot the "-3" in the first listing.

According to Radioheads site, they are playing the first day. If Wilco goes up against Radiohead, that'd be a complete fuck in the ass.

 

I don't think anyone will be going up against Radiohead.

Which website are you looking on Happeningstone? They show on the request songs page on Wilcoworld that it's the 1st of Aug.

Guess they couldn't get those hometown faves OK Go.

 

Black Kids

Black Lips

 

I've been waiting for these two to be on the same bill. Now if they could just get the Black Angels, Black Mountain and the Black Keys!

Oh well they still have it as the 1st....even now I just checked for you to request songs :) What time does Lolla start on Friday?

 

 

typically around 3 i think? could be one, though i doubt wilco will be that early.

I doubt it's written in stone that Wilco is playing on the 1st. Bands often list the first day of the festival on their websites because the schedule hasn't been published and/or finalized yet.

 

That said, it seems pretty certain Radiohead will be playing Friday, and I could see Wilco "opening" for them.

 

Gates open at 11 a.m. each day of the festival.
