Lollapalooza Paris 2018

[AAlex]

Lollapalooza Paris confirmed to be returning yesterday on 21/22nd July. 

Line up is going to be out on Friday guessing it will be two headliners already confirmed to be around Europe in the Summer, possibly a French date for Pearl Jam?

No chance for Pearl Jam.

I'd say Muse and Bruno Mars

That's a really good line up for me! Not sure I could manage Rock Werchter, Mad Cool and this three weekends in a row though 

[DDave]

That's a much better line up than I was expecting.

[Noeliam]

I'd take a few for Sziget!

Gorillaz, The Killers, Nekfeu, Noel, Parov Stelar, Portugal. The Man, Kaleo, The Blaze!

Nice!

Anyone been to this? Fancy a change from Beni , but the website is very sparse.

 

Assuming the transport from paris center would be good as it is in a city!

Lollapalooza 21/22 July, Sziget 8/15 August... i can't see the connection between this 2 festivals...

[Dom Wall]

Any day tickets come out for this? Looking at Gorillaz day on the Sunday..

[ThisIsHappening]

I don't see any way this sells out, so I'd say it's almost certain there will be day tickets and they already have one-day VIP tickets. I was originally planning on doing Rock Werchter into Mad Cool, but I'm thinking I'll swap Werchter for this instead, since the Gorillaz are the main draw for me as well. Hopefully there are a few decent size names added in the final dozen names.

Did anyone check this out last year?

??? Nothing has changed compared to 2 months ago...

[ThisIsHappening]

The biggest additions were Dua Lipa and Excision. I’m kind of regretting my decision to do Mad Cool and Lolla, instead of Mad Cool and Rock Werchter. 

Dua Lipa
Bastille
Excision
French Montana 
Lil Pump
Jess Glynne
Tom Walker 
Alma
The Inspector Cluzo
Wax Motif
Basstrick

Very surprised (and so very happy) to see excision playing, he rarely plays in Europe let alone UK as far as I know due to dubstep not being very big compared to America so that makes it even better for me

Daily line up out for Lolla Paris. Following up Mad Cool with this, so this daily lineup let's me stick with only Sunday and Robert Plant Monday. 

[TheHiddenPassenger]

Looking at doing Lolla Paris this year instead of Rock Werchter, really want to see Gorillaz and The Killers but Depeche Mode is a massive draw for me. Anyone know what the festival is like? Food/drink costs, different stages, things to do, closing acts, curfew etc? Also just noticed Axwell /\ Ingrosso were on the orginal lineup but aren't anymore.. any reason for that?

[ThisIsHappening]

Based upon last year it looks like things run about 1 PM to midnight. It’s located a bit out of the way from central Paris and any tourist attractions. I personally am staying at Three Ducks Hostel, which is a ten minute walk from Eiffel Tower, around 15 minute ride/hour walk from the fest and has a good night life. 

Cant really speak to the fest itself. Still debating whether to get in both days, since I’ll be attending Mad Cool the week prior. 

Here's a map of last year's fest:

Thanks for the info, looking at the map I'm assuming the two main stages would have alternating acts whilst the other is setting up soundcheck? Otherwise the clashes I imagine would be a nightmare for the big names.

Anyone know how long are the big names set length usually?

This was last years. I only want to go for the Killers and Gorillaz on sunday. By this set times, it doesn't look like they will conflict.

I am also attending Mad Cool Festival and thinking to go to this just for The Killers and Gorillaz on Sunday. Only differences between Mad Cool and this on first 2 lines on Saturday are Travis Scott, Diplo and Bastille which are not that important for me. The Killers and Gorillaz are the only headliners that I wish Mad Cool had.

Thank you. I dont know how I misread the title, I was thinking about Pitchfork Paris and not Lollapalooza, hoping for Bon Iver and the Decemberists based on their tour. Sorry.

I'm leaning only Sunday myself. I was thinking I could potentially eliminate a few conflicts with Mad Cool with Depeche Mode/Kasabian/Portugal. the Man, but I'll hopefully be able to hold off on tickets to this until schedules come out. 

A fest in Paris should be a good change of pace. Had never heard of Parov Stelar, but looking forward to seeing him.

Parov Stelar is a must watch if you haven’t heard of it yet. They are an amazing band live

[TheHiddenPassenger]

When should we be expecting a stage split/timetable? And is that all the acts announced or still more to come?
