No Loozas at Lolla This Year

With summer tours like Ozzfest and Warped Tour losing fans (largely in due to RPGs like World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy), Lollapalooza is completely on its game and will most definitely be attracting a plethora of music fans to Grant Park in August.

The lineup, announced earlier this week, includes the three mammoth headliners: Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and Nine Inch Nails (My mother used to say things always come in threes). Not to mention the rest of the lineup, which includes acts such as our hometown boys Kanye West and Wilco, along with Gnarls Barkley, The Raconteurs and Bloc Party just to name a few. The bill is definitely worth standing in a pool of hot sweaty grossness for three days straight (Does that make me CRAZYEEAH??).

With the speculation and rumors of possible lineups in the past, we can finally start to bask in the glory of Chicago’s most anticipated summer festival. And frankly, Lollapalooza is always a breath of fresh air from the “Get Ready to F*** Sh** Up Tours” that make their rounds in the area. So c’mon everybody, grab your sunscreen and baby wipes and let’s go!!
