Lollapalooza Line-up Revealed!

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 6, 2010 4:15PM

Last night was a tad topsy turvy. Local writer Jim DeRogatis* and Greg Kot leaked the full line-up for this year's Lollapalooza mere hours before Perry Farrell was supposed to reveal it at his own launch party at Debonair. To say he was a tad upset that the local journos scooped him would be an understatement according to reports we got on the scene. But whatever, outside of a handful of music nerds freaking out a few hours here or there didn't really mater, especially since the fest's Wheel Of Fortune gradual reveal had already largely uncovered most of the acts. The mood at Debonair last night was exultant and Farrell took great glee in espousing the merits of Chicago as the prefect home for Lollapalooza.

The headliners were no surprise -- Soundgarden, Green Day, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Phoenix -- and the support is the usual eclectic mix of mainstream heavy hitters mixed with the indie and dance set. A few welcome surprises crept in -- we're particularly excited to see locals Skybox appear in front of a large audience -- and while there is very little that could be called daring in the booking, organizers have put together a solid three days. Of course we have yet to see the schedule so who knows how the days are weighted yet, something that actually does have a huge effect on the festival-going experience. Overall though it's safe to say we're yet again pretty stoked to be spending another three days wandering around Grant Park in the summer heat soaking up a few raw tons of great tunes.

Lollapalooza is August 6 - 8 in Grant park. Getcher tickets here.

The full line-up is after the jump.

*To be fair, we think DeRo's post was an accident -- embargoed info he wrote up ahead of time that was pushed live online before it was supposed to be. Regarless, organizers were none too pleased...
