Music site Consequence of Sound is reporting that Radiohead is headlining Lollapalooza this year. The speculation around Lollapalooza headliners begins! The festival doesn't usually release a confirmed line-up until March or April, but that doesn't stop the stream of alleged leaks from a variety of sources.

Consequence of Sound is officially kicking off the season of speculation, saying they have confirmed that Radiohead will be headlining this year's Lollapalooza. Radiohead has announced a handful of tour dates, ahead of the expected release of a new album from the band. So it would make sense that they would use a handful of festival dates to help promote. And a return to Chicago—home to both one of the band's most legendary performances as well as a previous Lollapalooza appearance—would make sense.

We hope it's true because it's been too long since we last saw "Dancing Thom."

Who else do you think has the highest probability of being the next leaked headliner? Our money is on LCD Soundsystem, though we confess we'd much rather see that band's return to a much smaller venue than Grant Park.
