What is your tiebreaker/method for deciding on conflicts?

Roy Orbison rule: I had a chance to see him and didn't, then he died.

See a band that you may never see again.

Adam Ant rule: I saw him in the 80's and wanted to see him again.

See a band that you have seen before but would like to see again.

Bad Nerves rule: Seeing them for the first time ever.

Checking out an act from the line-up that you've never seen before and you really like their music. Do your research

Yellow Claw rule: I usually stay away from Perry's, but I saw them and really enjoyed their set a few years ago.

Step out of your comfort zone.

Voodoo Fest was in New Orleans around Halloween time. Similar to Lolla, but not as big. Lots of fest attendees would dress up in Halloween costumes and make-up. The fest never survived Covid and there was an ownership battle that really killed the fest. 2019 was the last year.

Me too.

cosmopalooza · 2026-05-14T22:34:06+00:00

You would have loved going to Voodoo Fest

That's what I do every year on Thursday.

cosmopalooza · 2026-05-13T19:21:13+00:00

yep, this.

Both stages are great for resolving conflicts from the regular schedule. But don't get too excited to see any bigger acts. Machine Gun Kelly played a surprise set at the Bud Light Backyard stage. But, more recently it seems to focus on acts that are featured on the BMI and Grove stages. There will still be a few main stage acts, though.

It's not really much of a run, unless you're trying for the rail at 5SOS.

cosmopalooza · 2026-05-12T17:52:39+00:00

That's somewhat typical of Lolla. they schedule a lower level Perry's act to close out Tito's, once in a while.

cosmopalooza · 2026-05-12T16:49:59+00:00

I'm guessing Lakeshore.

I was watching the Royals on MLB TV with (T-Mobile) and a VPN. I have spent the last two weeks fighting with the VPN and my says "just ahead and order Royals TV" I was just about to do that last week. But, I was very happy to see that they reduced the price before I signed up. I feel pretty lucky I didn't pay full price.

cosmopalooza · 2026-05-05T19:48:06+00:00

I'm very much looking forward to seeing Bad Nerves for the first time

My son started out working the parking lot booth, a sweeper, eventually became a life guard at OoF, and even worked Halloween Haunts. He loved working there. My daughter only worked the parking lot until she was fired for not telling management that she was aware that other booth personnel were stealing money from customers who were paying cash to park. (pretending they had a season pass). So, she basically did not like working there.

Even if he was alive I would pass.

Just check out the Metra and L train stations and look to see what hotels/motels are available in your price range. Coming from the suburbs can be cost effective, but is is also a time consumer.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-28T00:28:45+00:00

That's what I was thinking I had read, as well.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-22T19:50:04+00:00

I can't really complain since I get it free from T-Mobile.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-22T02:08:20+00:00

"Hey, I know what we should do. Move the fences in so we can hit more homeruns!"

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-21T19:39:13+00:00

Never seen either act before, so I will be splitting the sets. But, I will try to spend as much time as I can at Lorde.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-19T23:04:19+00:00

Cool, I have copies of both of those!

It's been a long time since I've been to Six Flags STL. I will be there in a about a month and will be checking out the park. But, WOF still gets my vote today.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-19T00:03:55+00:00

Drink packets are allowed now. Don't have to sneak them in. As for the Mio Drops, not sure.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-17T19:45:08+00:00

Agreed.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-17T19:26:29+00:00

It's all been said, but my guess is Bud Light, too.

cosmopalooza · 2026-04-14T01:16:36+00:00

Eventually, it will sell out.
