Lollapalooza 2009 update rumors

Moe — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:25:19 +0000

The rumors are flying and some of the ones that come from credible sources like Greg Kot at the Chicago Tribune sure make me all warm and fuzzy. Mr. Kot mentions four acts in this article ( Tribune Website ) The Killers, Tool, The Decemberists and Lou Reed; Do i need to say more?

If you must insist the Forums at lollapalooza.com has a compilation of the rumors and semi-confirmed, which include:

The aforementioned bands
Neko Case
Atmosphere
Kaiser Chiefs

Of course non of this means anything untill they are written down in stone, but the sources seem solid, and I for one ( Bobby assures me of this ) believe Greg Kot is a good source, with good sources. The wait is killing me.

Lollapalooza 2009

It almost seems like only last month that lollapalooza 2008 passed by ( I know its 2009 now but you know what I mean ). Well the dates for the 2009 shows are released ( 08/07/2009 – 08/09/2009 ) and the rumors online abound about who will be coming. So far I’ve heard:

Cold Play
Depeche Mode
Blink 182
Green Day

It would be awesome to see if Jane’s Addiction goes, on the smaller groups Grand Ole Party, Kings of Leon ( not so small anymore I guess since Sex on Fire, this would be a good step forward ).

I will keep wondering who else is coming.

Saul Williams (Sunday 8/3 5:00) – “Sunday Bloody Sunday” (yes, cover of the U2 classic) – but from an album called The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust…it definitely got our attention (in a good way).
