Pearl Jam To Headline Lollapalooza ’07
Posted: Fri., Mar. 02, 2007 09:47:01 AM MST

CHICAGO (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) -- Pearl Jam, the breakout superstar of the original Lollapalooza touring festival in 1992, will return to headline the retooled three-day fest in Chicago in 2007.

The godfathers of grunge will be the featured act at the August 3-5 event in Grant Park. Organizers don’t plan to announce the rest of the 130-band line up or put tickets on sale for several weeks, most likely in late March or early April.

The Chicago Sun-Times confirmed that Eddie Vedder and company will play the Chicago show in the middle of their U.S. tour, following a month-long jaunt across Europe in June that includes several major music festivals.

Stay tuned to CelebrityAccess for more details on this summer’s Lollapalooza as they become available. --by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers

    I knew a PJ tour was coming, but this news is the hit I needed to sustain me until the official tour announcement arrives.

    all right, all right, so maybe we won't get 36 shows across the whole continent...so let me change my suggestion, paring it down to 15-20 shows total (b/c i couldn't possibly leave out my home state):

    First Leg (Midwest/Southeast - 12 shows in 12 cities):
    Detroit
    Chicago (Lollapalooza)
    St. Louis
    Dallas
    Houston
    New Orleans
    Nashville
    Cincinnati
    Pittsburgh
    DC
    Charlotte
    Atlanta

    Second Leg (West Coast - 8 shows in 6 cities):
    San Diego (SDSU Open Air Theatre)
    Los Angeles (Greek Theatre)
    Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Bowl)
    Berkeley (x2) (Greek Theatre)
    Portland (Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall)
    Seattle (x2) (Moore Theater)

    That's 20 shows in 18 cities.

    Vaginatown
    Mango City
