Radiohead, NIN to headline Lollapalooza?
As if the excitement and anticipation that comes with pre-sale ticket day wasn’t enough, the Chicago Tribune has now confirmed two of the headliners for this year’s Lollapalooza.
Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are expected to headline the fourth incarnation of Lollapalooza in Grant Park Aug. 1-3.
Promoters won’t make the lineup official for a few more weeks, but industry sources have confirmed that Radiohead has been booked as the centerpiece of the festival…
In addition, Nine Inch Nails will play its first Chicago show in several years, following the release of its 2007 album, “Year Zero,” and the four-volume “Ghosts,” made available a few days ago on the nin.com Web site.
If true, add this with the other current confirmations, and this year’s Lollapalooza lineup is certainly looking strong.
Did you get your pre-sale tickets?
In related news, Perry Farrell has confirmed that Jack Johnson won’t be at Lollapalooza.
