ParanoidTourist Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 So it seems Lollapalooza comes to Stockholm next year 28 - 29th of June. Any thoughts of bands that might play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrej Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Foo fighters, Muse, Metallica, Coldplay, The Cure....some of these. They will have 2 strong headliners for their first edition for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activean Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Is this insted of Paris? (on their webpage Paris is listed as past). How good are those festivals anyway, anyone been in Paris/Berlin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalbrincks Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) I know it's probably not possible but I wish Arctic Monkeys would be in the lineup again. My friend from **spammy link removed** and I went to seen them this year and all I can say they were fascinating!

AAlex Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 Might be interested in this, hope this hasn’t replaced Paris as I was hoping to give that a go one year. Noticed it’s same weekend as Glastonbury as well, so could potentially help the quality of acts that are around Europe/available. Four stages so I’m guessing it’ll be similar to the Paris/Berlin editions with two main stages alternating and a dance stage... will definitely keep an eye on this.

I'll also have a look at this festival since I live in Stockholm Don't know if it replaced Paris. There has been one in Berlin as well if I'm not mistaken. The festival also takes place same weekend as Rock Werchter so, like you said, hopefully there's a lot of nice acts around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've been to the one in Berlin twice, big fan of everything there to be honest except the travel to/from the festival, but looking at this the location looks walking distance back into the centre? If the line ups worth going I'd definitely recommend it, assuming it's similiar, the alternating main stages work really well you're never waiting more than 5 minutes for someone to be playing on either stage. The one in Berlin was cashless last year too where you'd have a balance on the barcode on your wristband which wasn't as effective as Rock Werchters tokens, but still kept queues pretty small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAlex Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) Bit of a mixed bag, in a good way, but I don’t think there’d be enough to convince me to go if I wasn’t at Glasto. In my experience the second announcements have tended to be pretty weak too, so that’s probably the vast majority of big/recognisable names.

Compared to previous Paris and Berlin lineups, there is nothing here as a wow factor honestly. I was expecting Arctic Monkeys-Interpol-Foals on Lollapalooza Europe's lineups after seeing them on South America lineups. Hopefully Berlin or Paris will include one or two of them.

birchtree29 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Just checked the ticket price. It is 1895 SEK=165 GBP which is not worthy to make the trip to Stockholm. Berlin and Paris will have a bigger lineup compared to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, when I say a bit of a mixed bag, I mean the fact you could see Foos, BMTH and The Hives as well as the likes of Travis Scott and Brockhampton, but there isn't much more than that except maybe Greta Van Fleet and Lana Del Rey I'd have any interest in. £165 seems like a lot, and Stockholm is known to be massively expensive anyway, so it needs a better line up than that if it's going to cost twice as much for a long weekend than other places. Was expecting quite a decent undercard being Glasto weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSaul Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 I've been to Sweden a couple of times, Stockholm once, and you're hard pressed to find a pint for under £8 so dread to think of the costs at this festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidTourist Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 A bit underwhelming tbh. Might go because of Foo Fighters but only because I live in Stockholm;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchtree29 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 How did it become a 3 day festival though? Is it because of low sales or did they just got an extra agreement or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nysmaw Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Any idea on how the sales are going? Underwhelmed by the line-up, but I'm in Stockholm anyway so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidTourist Posted June 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 Still tickets on sale + loads of advertisement so maybe sales are not too good. I'll personally.go on the Saturday since the line up is great that day imo:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
