Now that we've got part of the festival's lineup in hand, the folks behind Kanrocksas have stated that they will be announcing more acts as the summer marches on. Currently, there are 14 confirmed acts on Kanrocksas' roster, and Monday's press conference confirmed that there will be about 30 national acts total, once the lineup is filled out.
We're guessing that a large chunk of those acts will be electronica acts playing what's called the "Giant Critical Mass Tent," where international DJs will spin. But what other national acts would you like to see added to Kanrocksas' inaugural lineup? Is there anyone else heading to or from Lollapalooza you'd like to see in KC?

STS9 has it all over their website that they are playing Kanrocksas. It doesn't look good for the event organizers if they announce a full lineup within a month of tickets going on sale.....while bands are posting that they are playing Kanrocksas that aren't even on the lineup! Hey Kanrocksas people.....pull your head out and get organized!!
Yeah, it's bugging me. I really want to try this festival out, but the current lineup isn't doing anything for me . . . hoping the second half of acts inspires me to spend the cash.
is it just me, or are they holding out on the full lineup for too long? its making me itch! things better "materialize" soon..or else the Lolla giant will gobble up kanrocksas.
How about Modest Mouse or,Rome Feat. Danger Mouse and Jack White. Jam Bands like Gov't Mule And Moe. I like the Lolla lineup, but I think the guys putting it on should be a little more original rather than just taking bands that are playing Lolla
LLocal natives, foster the people, 2 door cinema club, sleigh bells, young the giant
Someone Still loves you Boris Yeltsin and Mountain Goats would be cool...bright eyes, and chemical brothers too...i'm already going..just hoping for the best now.
i dont know most of these bands you people are talking about...id like to see Foo Fighters, Mumford and Sons, Soundgarden added to line up, maybe deftones...no more rap
Ween!!!! Fo sho! I have seen them in KC and they are... words can not describe it! They are not on the lolla list but, if Incubus joined in... I would be set for life!
OFWGKTA
Ghostland Observatory
Die Antwoord
they aren't at Lolla but need to be at Kanrocksas
Joy Formidable, MMJ, Best Coast, Phantogram, Deftones, WARPAINT, DFA1979, and TV On The Radio.
Oh, and I want The Flaming Lips' set to be a Soft Bulletin set. Plzkthx.
Deadmau5, The Glitch Mob, Skrillex (who already has those dates booked and is coming through town less than a month earlier), Midnight Conspiracy, Rival Schools, Deftones, Manchester Orchestra
Ween, The Shins, Beirut, Explosions in the Sky, Battles
any one of these would be all I'd need to bite the bullet and buy my tickets, given that APC, Primus and The Flaming Lips are already on the lineup
From Lollapalooza, I'd like to see The Joy Formidable, The Cars, Lykke Li, Best Coast, Cee-Lo Green, the Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Titus Andronicus, and Phantogram . . . and perhaps a few others.
From LouFest (in St. Louis, Aug. 27-28), I'd like to see Surfer Blood and TV on the Radio.
From Maha Music Festival (in Omaha, Aug. 13), I'd like to see Guided By Voices.
Fun exercise.
They've already ruled out the Foo Fighters and Chili Peppers, and said that there won't be anyone added that has the draw power of the headliners. That still means most of the commenters' choices are in play, though.
I think Ween is a solid choice. They seem to be back from hiatus. With MMJ playing Waka and Lolla, they have a good chance to end up here. Would love to see the rest listed, but I think the lineup is going to be Lolla heavy the rest of the way. I think Deadmau5 is too obvious so I would like to see a big name for the DJ tent like The Chemical Brothers, Leftfield, or Orbital.
As far as bands at Lolla that I'd like to see at Kanrocksas:
Ween
My Morning Jacket
Big Audio Dynamite (not gonna happen, but I can hope)
Beirut
Explosions in the Sky
Local Natives
Death From Above 1979
Titus Andronicus
I hope you're right Abe. They definitely need those 16 acts to be national touring acts and not DJ's to justify the price. As much shit as I've talked on the lineup, if they added another dozen decent bands, I'll probably go.
I doubt a "large chunk" of the 16 TBAs will be DJs. They have 3 stages and a lot of time to fill. From what it sounded like at the presser, we'll see most of those 16 be bands with the DJ tent acts will be announced separately.
I had completely rid my memory of any trace of Green Jello. Now it's back. Thanks so much.
I'd rather have my brain set to constant RickRoll than "LITTLE PIG, LITTLE PIG, LETMEEEINNN."
Jerkpod.
I have a feeling that we will see Bright Eyes, Deftones, Airborne Toxic Event, Portugal. The Man, & The Cars.
Cee Lo Green, Explosions in the Sky, Beirut, Death From Above 1979, Crystal Castles, Lykke Li, Local Natives, friendly fires, dissapears, Phantogram, Radiohead, burial
Well I doubt they would do it as a non-headliner but I'd love to see the Foo Fighters there.
