NONE

would've liked to see Muse/Primus/The Flaming Lips but eff if I'm gonna pay $100 for each day >:I

Doesn't KC get embarrassed enough on here? I was trying to forget this happened. Cmon where's the setlist for Eminem & for D12? The people demand this!!! LOL. I'm hoping if they do this next year there will be less Hipster. Yet sadly I have a feeling this is a pipe dream.

Yikes $100 does seem like a lot. I guess its worth it if you are into some of the other bands

Hey, there were some good bands! I wish Muse, Primus, Black Keys and Flaming Lips were on the same day. I'd have gone to that.

[ShatteredFlame]

$100 is not a lot considering most of these bands charge a crazy amount for their own shows.

[Natrlhi]

Yeah, I damn near paid $90 to see APC, Crystal Castles and Muse / RATATAT (plus other possibly good acts, obviously) at Lolla this year, but at the end of the day, I didn't pull the trigger because of schedule clashes, a six-hour drive to Chicago and another one back home, and the concept of trying to care for my kids for two days straight after doing all that and getting virtually no sleep on Friday night.

Had Primus, Black Keys or Flaming Lips been on Friday at Lolla as well, I might have taken the plunge...

[mankvill]

I just think Kanrocksas was kind of a weird mixing of both Lollapalooza (Eminem, Kid Cudi, Muse, etc.) and Wakarusa (The Flaming Lips, Primus, Black Keys, etc.)

It's like it didn't know if it wanted to be a hippie fest or a mainstream fest.

It wanted to be a gimme all your money fest.
