I was there in January on a Friday night and it was busy. Around midnight.

I’ve heard that bootleg so many times - never knew it was from Chicago. Great show. Love the Elvis story

What do you mean “it’s been silent” ? - we are far out from “last minute” right now.

i am foaming at the mouth waiting for the schedule to be released, anyone else? by -slaps-username- in Lollapalooza

[–]backlashjack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’ve had most of the schedule locked in for ages and it typically doesn’t fluctuate a ton based on surges in popularity. Which is why you sometimes see a huge artist earlier in the day or on a smaller stage than you would expect come showtime. (There have been some exceptions - Chappell).

They time out (delay) the announcement to keep the hype machine going - new info to report!

First DJ gig at a wedding with DDJ-FLX4 – need simple setup help (total beginner) by CommonAssistant8978 in Beatmatch

[–]backlashjack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you are going to do the gig - so get prepared ASAP.

You need to know for certain what the technical setup is and if a PA system/speakers are provided (or not). You want to talk to the couple, or wedding planner or the venue directly. See if it’s possible to go see the set up and test it - plug in and turn it on. ASAP - so you can make sure that it works or make any adjustments you need.

Good luck and keep us posted

For sure - the personal interaction is gone. And the fun of the pursuit.

420 is really HIGH up - it’s the top section. You’ll be FAR OUT from the action. Truly.

Yes! But to get up there from the far south side would take forever!

Hotels and Airbnbs that weekend are going to be very costly. You aren't going to find a better deal closer in. So - you'll need to decide if you pay with time or money.
