The line-up still isn't confirmed, but don't let that stop you from buying your four-day passes to Lollapalooza when they go on sale Tuesday morning.

While the line-up is still "officially" a mystery, we do have some good ideas on who to expect to hit the multiple stages in Grant Park over July 28 to 31. In January news leaked that Radiohead would be making Lolla a headline stop on their North American tour, though we're still holding out hope they'll also play an after-show since it's been far too long since we've seen the band play a set unencumbered by a city curfew.

We also guessed LCD Soundsystem would be playing Lollapalooza, and based on rumors last week that they and The Red Hot Chili Peppers were also headlining, it appears we were correct.

Other possible acts include J. Cole, Lana Del Rey, The 1975 (there's a gap in their tour schedule that fits Lolla in) and Yeasayer (who accidentally posted a Lollapalooza date on their website). We also wouldn't be surprised to see an appearance by Jane's Addiction, since it's a big anniversary for the festival.

Of course the ridiculous thing about the news coming out in drips and drabs is that the line-up has likely already been finalized for months. In fact, based on touring schedules, many artist negotiations kick off just after the gates close on the previous year's Lollapalooza (and sometimes, even before that). And at this point the piecemeal nature of these leaks—ostensibly to build drama—is no longer really needed for a festival that sells out its tickets in record time no matter who is playing.

Four day passes will run you $335 and go on sale tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., so get that refresh button ready!
