Brace yourselves: Spring is coming--and with it, the annual speculation on when the cheap Lollapalooza tickets will sell out.
On Wednesday, the @Lollapalooza Twitter handle appeared to come out of hibernation, tweeting much more rapidly than it has in the past few months. The account appears to be taking a page from the @RiotFest strategy, tweeting and retweeting users speculating on lineups, announcements and of course, when the "secret sale" for three-day early bird tickets will go live.
From a tweet Wednesday from @Lollapalooza:
".@babganooshilu Valid guess, but we can't really say for sure. But in Spring they'll be here and Spring starts 3/21/2014."

Sure, it isn't much, but according to Lollapalooza's description of the secret sale, which typically sells three-day passes for $75, the event will begin "before" spring. Several tweets Wednesday referenced the March 21 date. Additionally, Lolla's website got a brand new look this week.
Other hints from the increased activity? A shout out to Beck:

Also, a call-out to Taco Bell at the suggestion of a fan:
Whaddaya say, @TacoBell??? RT @mistertodd14: The only way @lollapalooza could be better is if they got a Taco Bell in grant park.
