Lollapalooza 3-Day Passes Sold Out, Single Day Passes And Line-ups Announced

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Apr 18, 2012 2:00PM

2012_04_lollaposter.jpg Well, that didn't take long. Just one week after the initial line-up announcement, Lollapalooza's 3-day passes are already gone.* That's bad for the budget conscious among you, but good for those who like to pick and choose what acts you want to see.

Why? Because now single-day passes are available for $95 a pop and most of the day-by-day line-ups have been announced to help you pick and choose. The good news is now we have an idea who might be going up against who in the schedule. The bad news is it looks like we're already in for some tough decisions. (Black Keys vs. Black Sabbath? Frank Ocean vs. Franz Ferdinand? Et cetera, et ecetra. Nooooo!) The good news is it looks like we're also in for some easy decisions. (Jack White vs. Florence + The Machine? Thank you for saving us from warbling torture, Mr. White.)

Check out the line-ups below and start sweating over your choices.

Lollapalooza is in Grant Park from August 3-5, 2012.
