Anybody hear any rumors?

I wanna see some Prince, Iron Maiden, Pearl Jam or Tool.
Not counting on any of that but any of those are feasible (except maybe Maiden)

How is Tool feasible?

They like money and they're not playing anywhere that weekend?

[postjack]

no rumors, but a local NOLA radio station reported voodoo is working on a replacement, fwiw (there have been fears they might just reshuffle rather than snag another BNA).

hate to say it, but voodoo hasn't exactly shined under pressure the past few years, so I'm keeping my expectations real low.

they flat-out suck asssss

I love all the people thinking that Voodoo is going to replace a crap act like Green Day with a major-level, semi-rare "get" like Prince, Tool, Radiohead, etc. If you're lucky it'll be the Killers or someone similar.

ZOMG MAYBE THEYLL GET DAFT PUNK!1111111

[schlonginus]

Green Day was an expensive act to book (just like RHCP were at most of the fests this year) and were top billed over NY&CH. I think they basically have a million to throw at someone if they want and I believe that is enough (or very close) to book Tool or Radiohead.
It's not out of the question, but more than likely it will be some bullshiit like The Killers or No Doubt. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if they used the money they saved to book something else during that time slot on another stage, an epic nola band like The Meters or The Radiators for instance.

[everydayperson]

Maybe they'll go BOGO like DeLuna did in 2011 when Linkin Park dropped out.

Longinus is right. They've now got a lot of money to throw at somebody. And someone will take it. It may be a double Jack White set (he does play with TWO backing bands and a lot of material he could play, easily have two sets with no repeating songs).

Also, I saw that the Little Rock tour stop for the Twins of Evil (Zombie/Manson tour) had been rescheduled for the 29th. Just sayin.

[postjack]

Just thinking of big name NOLA artists, Lil' Wayne is definitely a possibility. He's not arena-tier but he doesn't have anything else going on, and he would appease at least some of the masses. Disclaimer: I'm not a Lil' Wayne fan, just saying its possible.

Green Day is a huge name dude. Just because we think they suck doesn't mean they aren't one of the biggest, most expensive acts in the industry.


Postjack- Good jorb on the Little Rock date. I think they could easily move Jack White to Saturday and have Manson/Zombie on Sunday. Mannnn that would be so badass.

[schlonginus]

everydayperson said that, ya big dummy.
Manson/Zombie is a possibility, but I really don't see it happening because having both play sunday (the day the fest ends early at 9 instead of 11) would mean that they would have to do their sets at the time of Nas and Jack White's (move Jack to saturday and shift Nas and everyone else playing the main stage down to an hour and a half earlier). Zombie has a pretty elaborate stage set-up and to have all that shiz there, ready to go, before the first band takes the main stage (pretty much before noon) would be far fetched considering that they are playing Orlando the day before.

[jakicker]

oh longinus and your logic/facts. I wish they would have just booked zombie/manson for saturday in the first place

[Sgt. Blotter]

^^ THIS

Why weren't Zombie and Manson a priority to begin with?
It's depressing to look back at the old Voodoo lineups and see how far they've fallen off.
2007-09 were f'n huge years with stacked lineups, and then they started falling off in '10 and booking way too much EDM.

They need to let Moog have all the raver shizt and just have a rave tent with old school DJs like Bad Boy Bill or Humpty Vision, or Rabbit In The Moon, like they used to, and bring back the two stages of hard rocks bands.

[schlonginus]

I thought it was obvious that they were going to be when they released their initial tour dates.

CHILLER THEATRE
ATTENTION ALL KIRK HAMMETT BOOK SIGNING WINNERS!!!
I Just received a phone call from Kirk from Metallica and it looks like the powers that be are adding a Metallica show in New Orleans because of the cancellation of Green Day there the night of October 27th so we will probably be changing the Kirk Hammett signing to Sunday, October 28th.
As soon as I find out more I will post it here! ~ Kevin

I'll take Metallica. Much better than Green Day.

I'd take Metallica anytime, any day over Green Day! Green Day dropping out has been the best news I've heard all week!!!

[mojoworks]

Metalica would be a fine replacement.

Quackkk yea Metallica would be an f'n badass replacement!!!
VIP!

SICK NIGHT biznatchESSSS

[schlonginus]

Someone posted a screenshot before it got deleted (probably at Voodoo's request):



It'd be cool if they played one of their first three albums for us in it's entirety.
I do believe Master of Puppets would be very appropriate for Voodoo weekend.

[postjack]

holy shiz Metallica would be amazing

[wannaberoo'ing]

Yeah, if it's Metallica, I'm pretty damn jealous right now.

[postjack]

NY&CH - Metallica - Jack White

if the rumors are true, those are headliners any major festival would be thrilled to snag.

[Sgt. Blotter]

The Outside Lands lineup this year was
Metallica:NY&CH:Stevie Wonder

Metallica has been playing the Black album this year.....at least at their festival and at Download.

Download fest looked Quackking amazing...... Megadeth>Soundgarden>Black Sabbath on the last day, wow.

[schlonginus]

Yeah Download fest was the best lineup of 2012 IMO.
For 2013 they got Iron Maiden, Rammstein, and Slipknot as the headliners.

I just realized there's a Metallica cover band playing at Soul Kitchen on friday.

I might have to go just for the lulz.

[postjack]

it's official!!

METALLICA!!!

[postjack]

I haven't seen Metallica since Biloxi in I think it was 1996 or 1997. I was 15 years old, my friends mom drove us. still stands as a peak live music experience. sooooooo fracking psyched to see them at voodoo!

[schlonginus]

We might get someone else too, there's a huge gap in between Silversun Pickups and Metallica on the schedule.

[tonyj815]

FERK YES!! That is a million times better than Green Day!!! One to check off of my bucket list!

Yeah and it sucks I'm going to miss Justice now, but I'm not a big fan anyway.

There is basically an hour gap with no music at all. We'll be seeing some schedule shuffling and/or new additions.

[everydayperson]

Everybody have a great time! Never been able to do Voodoo. Maybe next year I'll go if there's no DeLuna Fest.

[schlonginus]

Oh, we will have an amazing time simply because we're VIP!
$220 in mid december...payment plan...best deal EVER. Do it next year! Oh wait, they probably will actually have Green Day next year. Oh well, I'm still doing it again.
Thanks you for blowing it this year, Billie Joe Armstrong!
