Yes, the tour was supposed to stop last year in the small town I was living in back then but they came up with this lame excuse that the stage was to small when everyone new it was because the line-up sucked and tickets werent selling, so what happens this year, they come back with a line-up that was actually pretty good but most of the bands were still unknown so they have to cancell the tour due to poor sales, good job and finally ruining a great thing, Oh who remembers when soundgarden,the beastie boys, ice cube, pearl jam and porno for pyros all were on the original tour.

Serves Pine knob right!!!!!!! This makes their third show they had to cancell, Marc anthony, christina , and lala. And their mission statement for the year was to sign pop artists and cheap washed-up classic rock acts to make a ton of profit, good!!!!!!!!!!! See what happens when you dont sign acts people want because they cost to much. Long live Jimmy and his fight against music theaters and long live Sterns battle with clear channel

I do remember the original 'palooza, esp. with Soundgarden, Beasties, and Jane's. I liked most bands that were coming out of seattle around that time period. Its good that the clothes have changed now, haha. I watched the movie Singles last night, and it reminded me of how much I like that city and all the bands I listened to.

That sucks the concert was cancelled, who did they have on the bill this year? I haven't been in quite some time. I did make it out to Bonaroo this year though. That was crazy

check out the warp tour. I won DAD OF THE YEAR award last year by taking my son and his posse to the show in Charlotte. I enjoyed some of the bands. And, it's always interesting to watch Crowd Surfers when the wave ends, especially when the show is in the parking lot.

Yes, in 91 it was JA - in 92 Porno played some dates. I went in 92 at Alpine with
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Ministry
Ice Cube
Soundgarden
The Jesus And Mary Chain
Pearl Jam
Lush
Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder

The Original Lineup (91) was
Jane's Addiction
Siouxsie and the Banshees -missed most of the Northeast because of illness (on Siouxsie's part), including Boston, but not the 2nd Stanhope date...
Living Color
(varied...on most dates, NIN, but some without:)
Nine Inch Nails (Jul 18 Phoenix - Aug 20 Orlando)
Fishbone+ (Aug 22, Dallas, Aug 28, Seattle)
Violent Femmes+ (Aug 23 Dallas, Aug 25 Denver, Aug 28, Seattle)
Ice-T/Body Count
Butthole Surfers
Rollins Band

I remember when Lollapalooza was cool! It actually made a tour stop in WV, but I was in high school and I wasn't aloud to go then!

I thought the lineup was pretty decent this year. Too bad to hear that it had to be cancelled

With Lollapalooza cancelled, several bands originally confirmed for the bill have begun either rescheduling their summer itineraries or heading for the studio.

Morrissey's summer plans for North America are unknown beyond a previously announced July 17 show in Chicago as part of American Express' Blue Jam Sessions. Sonic Youth is setting up a headlining tour, which, according to its official Web site, will kick off July 13 in Vancouver and head east, visiting both American and Canadian cities.

String Cheese Incident, which was to headline Lollapalooza's second day lineup, is also setting up new North American dates. "We are big supporters of the vision of Lollapalooza and we were looking forward to collaborating with so many great musical acts," SCI bassist Keith Moseley says.

The Flaming Lips will spend the summer working on their new album as well as a movie. "With the cancellation of Lollapalooza 2004, we are reminded once again of the risk and uncertainty that accompanies any venture that is purposefully not mainstream," lead singer Wayne Coyne said on the band's official Web site. "Perhaps in a less concert heavy summer this collection of unconventional entertainers may have at least aroused some curiosity, but sometimes being different comes at a price."

According to its official Web site, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club were scheduled to tour with the Von Bondies during days off from Lollapalooza, but because BRMC does "not have a record company at the moment, limited funds means the band cannot tour independently." Instead, it is believed the band will begin work on the follow-up to 2003's "Take Them On, On Your Own," its final set for Virgin.

Modest Mouse has scheduled brief series of shows beginning July 16 in Chico, Calif. Gomez has yet to announce any new North American dates, nor has the Polyphonic Spree, according to their respective official Web sites.

Other bands currently in limbo include Broken Social Scene and the Walkmen. The former is expected to begin work on its next studio album, which should be out by next spring.

Yesterday, tour co-founder Perry Farrell posted a message to artists on the festival's official Web site. "Please know that I value your talents and look forward to meeting you again -- a little later on to re-discover ourselves as friends," he said. "If it makes you feel any better, I am in the same boat as most of you; 'Only loaded with talent.' But with talent like ours, they can't hold us down for long."

Farrell also cryptically added that the festival might be resurrected for one or two shows: "I am still looking for a shining moment or two for us this summer. I hope you will receive me when I call."
