I think I'm doing Lolla this year. At least one day, maybe the whole thing. I'll decide when the lineup comes out. Which brings me to a couple questions
1. When does the lineup usually come out? 2. How big is this place? How long does it take to walk from the the one main stage to the other one? Ive seen a map of the layout just don't know how big we're talking. Is it like Roo where you can get from any one stage/tent to another one in 5-10 minutes?

1. Last year the lineup came out at the end of April. Three of the headliners and a few acts were leaked by the Tribune music critic in early February, which has happened the last two years.
2. Grant Park is big - I believe roughly a half mile. From main stage to the other main stage takes about 10-15 minutes. They've closed off Columbus Drive which has really helped spread out the foot traffic. Each main stage has another medium-sized stage in the same field which is nice because as one show ends, the other starts and you don't have to walk at all. If you're looking to bounce back and forth across the park all day, that doesn't really work unless you're willing to leave shows early/arrive late. That said, last year there were 4 stages north of buckingham fountain that were 5-10 minutes apart and same for the 3 (including perrys tent) south of the fountain. It really just depends on where they schedule the bands you want to see.

I was curious about this so I consulted google maps. 0.8 mile from the south stage to the north stage. It was quite a walk At least I could walk briskly over even jog between stages if i were in a rush, and wouldn't get backed up by massive crowds

The Cure are a perpetual Lolla rumor (sort of like Daft Punk at Coachella), so if they actually end up playing, it would be crazy. Hopefully they'll repeat what they did at Coachella '09 and play until the organizers pull the plug. That was so awesome.
