Sabbath just posted on FB 30min ago that they will be at Lolla. Must be a licensing issue.
This whole Sabbath thing keeps getting weirder and weirder. My friends keep telling me I need to go see them because I'll never get another chance, but I honestly don't know... I'm just nervous that they are going to sound terrible and I will miss my opportunity to have a fantastic spot for Bassnectar
Bassnectar tours like a dirty whore. You will have tons of chances to see Bassnectar. I'm definitely gonna check out Sabbath for the reasons you listed, then if its really that bad, I'll head over to nectar.
I've seen Sabbath 8 times over the years; so my plan was to go to Bassnectar... But then I decided last second to go to Camp Bisco and I was at Firefly last weekend and now I'm Bassnectar'd out... So I'll be at Sabbath reliving my Ozzfest teen years.

That's my plan as well... never have or would see Sabbath at a stand alone show but generally like their music. I am going to give them a chance.
And wow, you're like a walking, talking infomercial to turn people away from Pearl Jam and Ohio State, aren't you? Before you started posting here I quite liked Pearl Jam and was indifferent towards OSU, now I find myself wishing that Eddie Vedder falls down a mine shaft or that Columbus is infested with locusts
By the way is anybody else coming in on Thursday? I am and need some ideas on cool stuff to do.
There are a few preshows on Thursday. If none of the preshows interest you, go have a nice dinner.
As for cool stuff to do... I'm from Chicago so everything is kinda ordinary... but out of towners usually like the museums. At night, I would (in my younger days) bar hop in Wrigleyville or Lincoln Park. Others like to barhop on Rush Street (I always thought this was too pricey).

Yeah, doesn't the Metro generally have one after show a year by an artist that's way too big for it and it sells out in seconds and then the tickets go for like 10x face value on the secondary market? I guess I could see Jack White, I just don't want to get my hopes up. Cause even if he plays, there's like a 0.1% chance I'd be able to get tickets.

Band of Horses' Facebook page telling Chicago to be on the lookout for an announcement tomorrow.
Edit: Opening for Jack White? RHCP? BoH are in Wyoming Tuesday and then Colorado Friday so it'd be pretty strange, but the facebook posting seems too coincidental...

That is very curious considering they're opening for MMJ here in a month as well.

Yeah that's why I don't get it. Why would they be an opener for two different shows in the same city less than three weeks apart; it's not like they need the exposure.
I guess I could see them as the headliner since they played one of the S. American Lolla's this year (so there's the "Official After Show" tie in) and they got boned by Lou Reed/Perry's when they last played in '09. The whole Wyoming-->Chicago-->Red Rocks thing still throws me off though.

Bah. I like them a lot, but it's not really worth $40+ considering it's going to be 40% Infinite Arms and I'm seeing them open for MMJ in two weeks where they'll probably get an hour anyway.
