Wondering if there have been any other confirmations to the Lolla lineup? Obviously PJ and then some other rumored bands (not interested in rumors)... when will the official line-up be released, after April 12?

    I've seen articles about The Roots (?eustlove said for Chi-town residents to be ready for the "l" word) and Lupe Fiasco. Last time I looked at Wikipedia (I know, I know-cool it) they had about twenty bands and links to the articles "confirming" such.

    Scratch the links crap. I assume Lolla had a problem with it; it changed already, but here's the quote to save some time:

    Lollapalooza will again take place in Grant Park, Chicago, for the first of a five year contract signed between Lollapalooza and the city. It will take place between August 3-5. There was a pre-sale special pricing $60 for a 3 day pass. Early bird tickets will be for sale on April 3rd for around $1 per band. Early bird tickets went on sale this year for $165. Tickets were not subject to a service fee and have an optional shipping charge if you desire hard copies of tickets. The standard price of the tickets this year is $195 (without service charges.)

    -The Lineup for this year's festival will be announced April 12-www.lollapalooza.com

    -Pearl Jam will headline Sunday night. - Bands including The White Stripes, Arcade Fire, Daft Punk, The Roots, Lupe Fiasco, The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, and The Phantoms of Philosophy are also rumored to be playing at the three day festival.

    im really hoping arcade fire is there... this would be the perfect time for them to play it. they're on top of the world right now and an epic lolla show could catapault them into the elite.

    im half afraid that of the half dozen bands i've already seen this spring, all of them will end up at lolla and i'll feel like i shoulda been more selective ;) bands like tv on the radio, hold steady, brand new, decemberists, modest mouse, bloc party... all seem like no brainers for lolla, hehe.

    yeah, they have a kind of "rave" element on certain stages, like bonnaroo. rest assured, you will not see me anywhere near that tent.

    if you need a couch to crash on, hit me up!

    thanks for the couch offer...i'll let you know!! as of right now, i'll be staying at the hyatt near the park. my old roommate works for them, so we are able to stay there for free.

    Ah, the meet up. Great idea. The benefit was fun last year. I'm sure ther'll be sticky up for one soon.
    We're bringing mad Texas love for ya'll. May be ten or so of us (we'll see how many flake); at least half that confirmed so far. We're staying at the Congress Plaza for the weekend I believe. Look for the TX flag flying proud!

    Keep an eye on pollstar:

    http://www.pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?By=Venue&Content=BILCHGP&PSKey=Y

    They tend to add bands before initial announcements, although there isn't much there yet besides !!!, the Annuals, and PJ.

    I don't have any rumors to report, but I'd be excited to find out that Smashing Pumpkins and/or Wilco are playing Lolla.

    Both of them have ties to Chicago and have new albums out this spring/summer.

    Pumpkins will be at the Virgin Record Fest in Balt MD that is held the same weekend. That is Aug 4th and 5th only.

    I am holding out for them to be the headliner for Friday night.

    Wilco played last year.

    Arcade Fire also played Lolla. I am not sure if it was last year or before last. I would like to see them since I am just getting into them. They have 3 shows sold out at the Chicago Theatre a few months before Lolla.
