agenthal Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 I'd just like to say if Muse don't play Lolla and/or Reading/Leeds, I am 100% blaming Kate Hudson. There's no way it wouldn't be because of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Lolla's is probably the worse. There was a big deal about it last year because because they said it was seriously hurting Chicago's industry. You can play anywhere within 300 miles (that means it includes Milwaukee, Detroit, etc) for 6 months before and 3 months after, which is really stupid. I seriously doubt a band playing a club show in Detroit in May is going to negatively affect the fest Wow. Yeah, that's a little harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously doubt a band playing a club show in Detroit in May is going to negatively affect the fest I wonder if they've gotten more strict about that recently. Nine Inch Nails was one of the headliners in 2008, but they also did St. Louis, Detroit, and Toledo all within a couple weeks of the festival. Hell, Muse themselves played Detroit two days before their headlining slot at Lollapalooza 2007. It wouldn't surprise me if they're tightening up on restrictions, though; Lollapalooza is arguably much bigger now than it was even a few years ago.

agenthal Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 You can request exceptions to the radius clause. They let a lot of bands do dates if they ask, especially headliners with a lot of pull... lots of stuff goes into contracts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUSESTL Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I've been holding out hope that Muse will do a makeup show in Saint Louis sometime before/after Lolla. I know it's extremely unlikely as it is, but does this radius clause make it even less likely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's extremely unlikely as it is, but does this radius clause make it even less likely? Well, I think STL is like 295 miles away from Chicago, so they could probably get around it easily. But a makeup concert seems unlikely anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howince Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 If any of you nice Musers could spare a minute, would you please like these three photos on the Big Day Out Offical facebook page? It could possibly win myself and another Aussie Muser a trip to Lolla. the photos are here http://tiny.cc/lr783 http://tiny.cc/e3dre http://tiny.cc/pej58 but you have to like the BDO page first, which is here. http://www.facebook.com/bigdayoutofficialpage Thanks!

I don't think they are super strict about it in other cities, they definitely allow exceptions. But they are definitely strict about stuff actually in chicago.

shelbmuse09 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Would someone care to let me stay at their place? I'll sleep on the fucking ground if I have to. I'm trying my damn best to go, but I have so much insurance and bills to pay for. I can hardly afford a flight and ticket if I ever get my tax return. I am so stressed/excited/sad/happy/ecstatic. :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprocketeer Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Depressing day became super awesome as soon as I saw this news break. Yeah, we've been banking on this for months, but to have a source like that come out and say it feels really good. Shelbi, we'll find a way for you (and Justin too). The old Cali Muser bunch needs to brainstorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endlessly_blissed Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's true, I'm guessing. I've heard from a shit ton of people that they're headlining. If this turns out to be a joke I'm going to weep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of all, you can book now and pay a very small deposit to hold your room. I'm staying 4 nights for a total of $132 and my deposit was $6.60.
