Lollapalooza Paris 2018

[charlierc]

Seems a bit late to be announcing these, not least given a few of the big July festivals already announced their bills.

Is there an app or something that will have the bill included?

They will post the schedule on twitter in the first week of July.

Is there any sort of payment system at the fest or do they take cash/card? Trying to work out how much money to take with me but if they don't do cash then not much point getting loads changed.

We are still waiting for more info about that but last year they had a cashless system and they still show that on the map that they posted on their website. https://www.lollaparis.com/en/plan/

Gorillaz performed their new album last night. Their live performance is available for 24 hours in this link:

Stereophonics- RagNBone Man

Kaleo-Bomba Estereo 

both annoying clashes.

[birchtree29]

Only big clashes for me are Travis Scott vs Portugal the Man and The Killers vs Parov Stelar. I will choose The Killers over Parov Stelar but I am not sure between Travis Scott and Portugal the Man. I might watch half of Travis Scott first than go to Portugal the Man

[charlierc]

I have plans in my head for the Saturday, but might need to listen to more of the bands on the Sunday.

Is anyone else having problems registering for the Lollapalooza Paris cashless system? https://www.lollaparis.com/en/cashless/

When trying to enter my barcode number (bottom-right hand corner of my ticket) it says it's invalid. I bought the ticket through Festicket who are Lolla partners.

When trying to use the Lyf app it says the verification link has expired, despite receiving it seconds before. Anyone have any problems with this last year?

Any help much appreciated!

I bought my tickets from ticketmaster and just tried logging in through the website. The system allowed the barcode of my ticket. Can you check if you are entering the barcode that is on the pink rectangle area? It is both written vertically on the left and horizontally on the right hand corner of the pink rectangle area. You might have entered festickets barcode. Otherwise you can either contact festicket or lollapalooza Paris or do the registration at the festival.

I'm going to this next week... Do you reckon they have taken into account a potential parade that weekend, should France win the World Cup?

[charlierc]

Would've thought that might be on Monday or Tuesday, given they usually like to hold these parades as quickly as possible after the final.

[Andrej]

always happens the day after the finals, max 2 days after....

[birchtree29]

The parade is confirmed to be at 5 pm today but I am sure we will have to see a lot of celebrations during the weekend which will make the festival much more exciting. I saw Depeche Mode last weekend at Mad Cool Festival and I would suggest everyone to watch them especially the last 30 mins where they play all their big hits.I will be seeing Kasabian, Kaleo, Portugal The Man, Rag'N'Bone Man and Dua Lipa who I have missed at Mad Cool Festival due to clashes. I am very excited to see Gorillaz and The Killers back to back.

[ThisIsHappening]

I’m going to this as well to help clear up some clashes at Mad Cool. Only tricky conflict for me will be The Killers vs. Parov Stelar because even though they play at 50 festivals a year in the U.S. I’ve somehow only seen a few songs live. 

[birchtree29]

 

Some very interesting changes in the map compared to last year:

1) Main Stage 1 and 2 have changed. This is probably because they expect more fans to show up on Main Stage 2 for The Killers, Travis Scott and Dua Lipa compared to Depeche Mode, Gorillaz and Kasabian. 

2) Perry's Stage is now a big tent like Sahara at Coachella or The Loop at Mad Cool Festival

3)Alternative Stage's shape have also changed

Can someone explain what it is I have to do for the cashless system please? Is it the only way to pay or can you still pay with cash if you want?

[charlierc]

I think it mentioned on the site that you can transfer cash onto the wristband on arrival.

Saying that, I'm already a wee bit fearful we'll get a situation of mass queuing similar to what people have said about the opening night of Mad Cool, or alternatively that the system crashes and nobody can pay for anything.

Yes it is the only way you can pay at the festival.

You either need to put money on your account through their website or the app or go to the cashless stand at the festival.

Cashless info is here: https://www.lollaparis.com/en/cashless/

You need to enter the barcode on the pink area of the ticket and upload money to your bracelet

You will be able to get refund for the amount that you have not used in your bracelet until August 5th.

You can either transfer cash on arrival or right now before the festival through the website or the application. Here is all the info: https://www.lollaparis.com/en/cashless/

I don't expect any huge queues like Mad Cool Festival. Saturdays schedule is so spread out through the day there will not be a big group arriving at the same time like Pearl Jam and Tame Impala fans in Mad Cool. The doors also open at 12:15 which is 45 minutes before the first act.

From last year's vlogs everyone said the only problem was the queues at WC which looks like they added plenty more after that. 

[birchtree29]

Rag'N'Bone Man have cancelled his performance on Friday at FIB. I hope that he does not cancel his concert on Sunday. I don't know who Lollapalooza can find in 4 days.

Christ signing up with cashless was a nightmare. Bad enough it needed two attempts with my ticket, but it needed about seven for my brother's.

Maybe I should've just done it in person on the Saturday like I was initially planning.

[dave0h]

What's the chances I'll snag a cheap last minute day pass for Saturday? I'm only going Sunday right now but if I could get one half way through the day and see Depeche Mode again that would be great
