Besides headliners Pearl Jam -- playing what will reportedly be the
grunge giants' only U.S. show in 2007 -- the third installment of the
reincarnated Lollapalooza Festival this morning is scheduled to announce
the other acts receiving top billing at the massive concert.
They include dance-punks Daft Punk, jam favorites Ben Harper and the
Innocent Criminals, English hypes Muse, the venerable Iggy and the
Stooges, alternative rockers Modest Mouse, New Wave revivalists Interpol
and the alt-country band My Morning Jacket.
Austin, Texas, promoters C3 Presents announced the lineup for the
festival, which will take place Aug. 3-5 in Grant Park.
Like the 2006 event, which promoters say drew 166,000 fans and raised
more than $928,000 for the Parkways Foundation, Lollaplooza 2007 will
feature 130 bands, in addition to midway activities such as Kidzapalooza
and the Mind Field, described as "part guerilla theater, part technology
and part game show."
Most of the acts are from the alternative realm, with several part of
the Pitchfork or Intonation festival lineups the last two years. There
is also a smattering of worldbeat and hip-hop, including Chicago rappers
Lupe Fiasco and Rhymefest, but there are only a handful of other local
acts on the bill.
Tickets are on sale through www.lollapalooza.com. Promoters
have eliminated service charges, though base prices for the tickets have
increased: The "early-bird tickets" available now are $165 for a
three-day pass, while prices will increase to $195 for a three-day pass.
