Looks like Lollapalooza 2008 is on track for success this year. What with the buzz in both the blogosphere and the mainstream music news, and the announcement with some of the hottest acts in music today on the line-up; the festival is sure to be a winner. Since the line-up is probably what you’re looking for, here are some highlights:
Nine Inch Nails
Radiohead
Kanye West
Rage Against the Machine
Pearl Jam
Daft Punk
Muse
Modest Mouse
Interpol
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Snow Patrol
The Roots
Lupe Fiasco
LCD Soundsystem
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
M.I.A.
Tapes ‘n Tapes
The Wailers
The last few years of Lollapalooza festivals have successfully the avoided the pitfalls of the early 90s such as with out of control crowds and overdosing headliners. Will the next three years of Lollapalooza turn out to be the resurrection of the modern Woodstock?
