Kanrocksas Festival - 6/8/2011

Recommended Posts

For everyone upset about already having paid more for Lolla for many of the same artists, think of it this way - A) Lolla is 3 days and this Kansas fest is just 2 days. B) Everyone is already meeting up for Lolla and the meet-ups are much of the fun. C) Chicago sounds like a nicer city, though I haven't been to either so don't take my word on that.

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I must make myself feel better about not going by starting a #NSCforKanrocksas sabotage campaign. :LOL:

$159 for both days + free camping and parking? Might have to ditch Lolla plans.

 

Lollapalooza is not that much more and you get 3 days. And a LOT more acts spread over those 3 days. In the long run, Kanrocksas might have a good top tier (which is the EXACT SAME ACTS LOLLA WILL HAVE), but they won't have nearly as much to offer. You'll see at midnight!

Plus the possibility of a Chris footie match!

 

Having been to both Kansas City (KS and MO) and Chicago, Chicago is definitely nicer. :LOL:

Lollapalooza has so much more going for it too. Grant Park >>>>> Racetrack. It's got all the nice shaded areas with hammocks and cool stuff around the massive park. And they're expanding the electronic stage again this year!

I would be a very happy muser if they did Pointfest. But they are not in this years lineup :( Ahh well, I should just be happy that I am seeing them at Lolla.

 

There's gonna be another Pointfest in August, so that actually seems likely. But I really don't want them to play it, since they'll only get to do like 8 songs there, and they'll use that as an excuse not to come back to St. Louis in a long time.

 

Anywho, kinda sucks for me because KC is a hell of a lot closer to me than Chicago, but I'd rather go to Lolla anyway so oh well.

Yeah, if money weren't an issue I'd pick Lolla in a heartbeat, but with Outside Lands and LA Rising also on the docket I'm trying to save where I can. It's the $120-$160 extra I'd have to spend on accommodations for Lolla that's nagging me.

Last week, I jokingly suggested this to my friend in Kansas City just because of the name

 

Today, I'm half considering going myself.

 

But seriously this whole ordeal made me laugh. I expected a shit line-up, in fact I expected more classic rock and stuff like that. This was out of nowhere.

I think I'm going to both. I hope the Saturday set at Lolla won't be anything interesting to miss.

 

The undercard is looking really good but I don't know how much you care about smaller bands. :happy: Hopefully you'll only miss Eminem as a headliner though.

Muse > every other band. hahah

It kinda sucks, I wanted to see Eminem if I had the chance but seeing Muse again kinda makes up for it ;)
