Today the Chicago Sun-Times spilled the beans on some of the players in the 2008 Lollapalooza line-up. Whether it's true or not, we won't know till Monday when official word hits the streets. Citing inside music sources -- I'm thinking management buddies who could give a rats ass when a line-up is announced -- the newspaper exclusively confirmed that rumored headliners Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails will indeed take the stage.
Also headlining the festival taking place at Chicago's Grant Park between August 1st and 3rd? Rage Against the Machine, the Raconteurs and Chi-town's own Wilco and Kanye West. Gnarls Barkley, Bloc Party, the Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus, Girl Talk, Kid Sister, Office, the Cool Kids, Battles, the Go! Team, Jamie Lidell and Grizzly Bear. G. Love & Special Sauce, Blues Traveler and Mates of State.
If you don't see something you like, don't fret some 100 other acts have yet to announced.
Most excited for:
