It’s up.
When the hell did the Kings of Leon become festival headline material?
Lots of good bands that are not headlining. Unfortunately, the DJ list looks a bit barren this year.
Also, no Daft Punk is always a huge disappointment.
Doing it for more than just the lols, our friends over at stereogum have obtained the full lineup for Lollapalooza 2008 and it’s a doozy. The three day festival is happening at Chicago’s Grant Park from August 1st-3rd.
Here are the headlining highlights:
Radiohead
Rage Against the Machine
Nine Inch Nails
Kanye West
Wilco
The Raconteurs
Looks like the “three shows and done” resolution for Rage Against The Machine was more like a “three shows and whatever festival will pay us” resolution.
Regardless, this is a fantastic lineup and is what Coachella should have been. Personally, I’m pumped to see Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s among dozens of others. It’s truly an indie music fan’s wet dream.
Tickets are on sale now on lollapalooza.com – looks like they’ve got 3-day passes for $190. No extra fees or charges, it’s $190 flat for all three days. Love their no bullshit stance on ticket fee prices.
Full band list after the jump.
