zebra Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Jim DeRogatis from the The Chicago Sun Times has it in his blog. e acts performing at this year’s weekend-long music festival in Grant Park until Monday, but the Sun-Times has confirmed through industry sources all of the major artists. Art-rock giants Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, the reunited Rage Against the Machine, Jack White’s side project the Raconteurs and hometown heroes Wilco and Kanye West will headline the main stages on Aug. 1-3. The Raconteurs, Wilco and West will each be making their second appearance at the reinvented destination festival. Other repeaters among the more than 100 acts on this year’s bill are Gnarls Barkley, the Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, G. Love & Special Sauce, Blues Traveler and Mates of State. Quite a few of the other acts — including many of the most promising — have earlier performed at Chicago’s two independently produced music festivals, Pitchfork and Intonation. These include Bloc Party, Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus, Girl Talk, Kid Sister, Office, the Cool Kids, Battles, the Go! Team, Jamie Lidell and Grizzly Bear. Advance three-day passes are now on sale for a limited time for $190 (after which the price increases to $205) at www.lollapalooza.com. For the full list of Lollapalooza acts, stay tuned to this blog!

Degenerex Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 there are going to be some tough decisions being made this year... I have a feeling Wilco will play opposite Rage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WaronWar Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I'm only going to go the day Wilco is playing because three days for that crowded event is way to expensive and not really worth it. I had a much better time at Pitchfork last year, and it cost me only $55 with service charge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VenusStopsTrain2 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is Wilco only playing one day? The way Jim's article read they were playing 3? I've never been to Lolla tho so does each band only play one day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renic Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 They only play one day and rage isn't confirmed . The lolla boards are saying stone temple pilots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VenusStopsTrain2 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 sweet thanks! I'm still waiting til may to see about volunteering...or i will just buy a day pass for Wilco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Kinsley Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 wilco + radiohead x (girl talk/cool kids) + bss = fucking great I didn't realize that girl talk and cool kids were bands, so I thought you were going to Lolla to talk about girls with cool kids.Yeah. I'm old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChooChooCharlie Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I thought you were a chick.sorry to disappoint.marriage and devotion to family can be over rated at timeswell played.why do you have to go to the wedding?Can't you suddenly get the flu?I appreciate the ideas -- keep em coming, cause I get more and more depressed with every great band that joins the lineup.......I honestly have tried everything, including trying to break this otherwise great couple up.....ala some horribly campy summer movie scenario. I email all my friends at every opportunity about how their dreams are my nightmare with this lineup, and how they can still have a barrel on my rooftop deck as they see all those amazing bands all of you will see and I won't. Admittedly, I'm being a huge asshole about this to anyone close to me who isn't obsessed with music. Sorry, but I am depressed....seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
