Jesus. I still consider myself young but I only know 18 so maybe I need to change that.....

32!

I can’t even read the typeface.

It’s awful.

32... and 3 of my favorite artists of the year are here lmao (clairo, magdalena bay, and role model). plus doechii, the dare, and catriel & paco, who i listen to somewhat frequently

i only know young miko because she was dating a local celebrity and katseye is like american kpop so my friends introduced me www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2-y...

This is all I can think about reading most of these names:

If The Blessed Madonna isn't THAT Madonna, then 4. Cage, Foster, the Friday video girl, and that microphone selling guy.

26, though I’m sure I’ve heard music by more. I scrobble so much radio I don’t always register every band name

Just need to listen to KEXP. Here’s one right here from the list

And 51 from 2007. It really helps being Canadian and some of the deeper cut ones are mainstream Canadian artists 😂

It’s very funny to me that Sunami plays fests like these.

I don't even know who's supposed to be a headliner, but I only recognize two of those names (T-Pain and Artemas).

15

24

Also I would heavily recommend Half Alive. They're really good

1. I can only name three. 2 Someone needs to teach Barry how to swim. I'm sorry I'm late responding.

T Pain, Otoboke Beaver and Rebecca Black

Mind you, I don’t think I’ve heard T pain

Exact same 3, lol. (I'm 48.)

3 for me. I'm 52.

3 (T-Pain, Clairo, and Rebecca Black)

Is she still really milking that Friday meme song from 15 years ago? Incredible hustle if so.

Actually (and not personally a big fan but aware of it) she has put out some very well regarded indie/hyper pop over the years.

LOL none of those are real bands you just had AI make up band names

“Tessla”… not to be confused with the Christian rock band that spells it right.

Oh hey, Julie. I think I know a Julie.

From the entire list I only recognize five of the acts

nothing will ever beat this killer Coachella lineup

I know who more of these names are referencing than the bands themselves That said, I did recognize a couple. I think I’m just getting old.

5-6, only one is my style of music ratboys

4 of these, 36 of the 2007 lineup

10.

I recognize 10 of those names - 8 from the top lines, one from the second lines, and Rebecca Black, who is kind of a special case

And several of the names that I do recognize (doechii, clairo, finneas) I couldn’t name or identify any songs, so it’s really less than that

4. Cage the Elephant, T-Pain, Foster the People, and ... Rebecca Black.

17

I tried naming songs I knew. I got to two (Pumped Up Kicks and Fri-yee-day).

48. This isn’t an age thing, this is what kind and how much music do you listen to. I’m 33 and there is a pretty good undercard here.

To be clear, I also know 30 from the 2007 lineup. Again, this is a how tuned in are you to music in general and what kind.

Look, I also listen to a lot of music but it's all music from before 2012

I hear you. I’m pretty confident just about any Lolla lineup from now back to ‘91 I’d know 85% of, but then again, I still think that comes down to a genre thing. Lolla falls more under the “popular music festival” category as opposed to say a Riot Fest or Country music festival.

I think this one’s dated cause Thursday is missing Luke combs and chance showed up Saturday

I cropped out the headliners

What a fucking relief You add the headliners back in, and suddenly my ratio of known to unknown artists is merely embarrassing, and not abjectly humiliating

Sabrina Carpenter, Martin Garrix, Gryffin would be a pretty damn good day of music though iwbh

Oh damn I thought Gracie Abrams was a headliner wow

almost 40, 17 om the first day

3 for sure, plus 2 more whose names I recognize but I'm not sure if I've heard any of their work

shoutout Sierra Ferrel she rips

Joey Valence & Brae ...but I have an excuse!

29, good for Nourished By Time!

I only know 24 of these. I feel so fucking washed man. I’m out of touch

The OP cleverly avoided answering her own question.

Del tha Water Gap, my favorite rapper and gorillaz guest artist

35 v 16 from the 2007 setlist. I am 28 though so by the time I was in high school, the 2007 set was cool and alternative, and I'm now coming off the tailend of my 20's with Tiktok (where most of the acts in 2025 jumped off of)

I think I recognize T-pain?

1. Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra

Six?

5 for me, and 6 if you count Naomi Scott of SMILE 2. Does that mean Raven from TRAP is gonna be at Lollapalooza next year?

15

I’m jealous of those who get to see hey, nothing and Alemeda. Remi wolf would be a good time, too.

Now you’re just making up names

15 for this year, 40something for 2007

Five!

26

12? I think? I ran out of fingers. But damn I missed that La Femme were in town, them I've been enjoying for at least a decade. Assuming this is the same La Femme I've been enjoying. Which is not a given. Kids these days.

5. Am I an out of touch boomer yet?

You kidding I'm not reading all that

Martin Garrix and Gracie Abrams are the only super recognizable names - then tpain - and Finneas is Billie Elishs brother. aside from that none lol

I don’t even know any of the headliners except Gracie Abrams, and I know her only in the sense that I’ve heard of her.

5 lollapaloozies T-pain Cage the Elephant Clairo Rebecca Black Finneas

2? But can only think of one song by any of them, and that one I don’t even actually know it. Oof.

11 & 18

“Back in my day…” 👍

How many artists do you recognize from Lollapalooza 2007?

I went to 92 and 94.

Ok like I think I am owed compensation

18

32

I think the answer for me is 25 for both

23

Interesting how there are a bunch of 30+ year old acts in 2007, but the 2025 is mostly new acts besides the 4 I've actually heard of.

3 from 2025, but most of the acts from 2007. I'm pretty sure one of my teenage bands even shared a bill with Slightly Stoopid back in the '90s, probably at Soma in SD?

36 of these, 4 of the 2025 lineup

39.

34

~40 for me... 😅

About 30.

I want a time machine. I want to go back.

Number of acts I haven’t heard of on the 2007 lineup is about equal to the number I have heard of on the 2025 list excluding the first rows (~25), and given my age it should be the other way around whew. Surprised Electric Six, Cold War Kids, and Los Campesinos are so low on the 07 list.

was barely alive by 2007 but 6

# of 2007 acts I've seen live > # of 2025 acts I've heard of

RETVRN (34)

38. Damn.. I’m old.

4–5 from this year versus most from 2017, but I prefer to assume this is because I’m old now.

Roughly the same number on both. The difference is that I recognize the new ones often more in passing and don't know most of their songs while I can sing songs from about half of the 2007 list.

Ratboys, T-Pain, Foster the People, Bleachers, Rebecca Black

Literally 3 - TPain, Foster the People, and Cage the Elephant.

Not gonna lie. This is a good line-up - Doechii, Levity, Glass Beams, Dom Dolla, Cage The Elephant, Mau P, Azzecca - Hell yes

Sleve McDichael

As a midwestern middle aged dad and nigh-obligate metalhead … 2. Because of memes that are each over a decade old.

38 yr old here: 34 acts for me

LOL. Four: Cage the Elephant, Foster the People, T-Pain, Doechii

31 year old checking in: 23

25

25 for me too and I am old lmao

Well I am younger than everyone on this site , so many of my friends are at Lollapalooza right now

Yeah, my favorite thing about bluesky by far is how young it makes me feel. Everyone on here is 40.

lol, 40

Right?

I'm 40 and it feels like SO many people on this site are older than I am, which is not a feeling I've had in at least 10 years. 😂

isn't it WILD like????? I really thought I was aging out of my demographic but it threw me right back in
