How you can tell that this lineup for Lollapalooza is 100 percent phony: Kanye West would never let his supergroup CRS (made up of him, Pharrell, and Lupe Fiasco) get billed below the Strokes and Broken Social Scene. (The Arcade Fire and Depeche Mode, though, I can totally see that.)
(Totally fake) Lollapalooza 2008 lineup announced [Time Out Chicago]
Chemical Brothers & Lily Allen.
Awkward!!!
There’s not enough terrible bands on that list for it to be a plausible lineup. Maybe if they shitcan the five best ones, and then replace them with O.A.R., slightly stoopid, and a mix set by Ian Van Dahl.
The extra P in Pipettes is for “Phwoar! There’s Jack Johnson buying a [banana] falafel!”
Badly Drawn Boy? The Subways? Wolf Parade? Isn’t this a poster for Lollapalooza 2006?
Paramore? That’s just lazy.
@StuntKockSteeev: O.A.R. You frickin’ called it.
Also, I don’t think an official poster would use Times New Roman and Cooper as fonts.
Wait, that’s not Cooper.
Albert Hammond Jr. is playing a solo set as well as one with The Strokes? He’s a machine!
And Local H? When can I get my ticket?
@StuntKockSteeev: do I get to pronounce O.A.R. as “oar” in front of their fans, though? Cause that’s worth the price of admission.
@Jerkwheat: Wait, hold on, how do they pronounce it?
@Lucas Jensen: Oops! A TYPO!
@Ned Raggett: oh you best be pronouncing each letter individually…O A R or the wrath of 4000 popped collars will collectively swoop in on you
This isn’t meant to be a fake lineup. It’s a game that was played on the lollapalooza message boards where members vote from a list of bands for each time slot that lollapalooza has. If you think someone is trying to create a fake lineup, then you are mistaken. Where this lineup was created, it clearly states that it is NOT REAL.
Where’s Nickelback?
@NickEddy: why buy a banana falafel when you can just sleep in on a weekday and make one at like, noon?
Where did Time Out get this from? I want to get it, but i just do not.

TIME OUT IS STUPID
i never thought i’d see a ‘game’ that would make me think that fanfic was a worthwhile pursuit.
