Lollapalooza 2010


Another summer music festival lineup has been released. Lollapalooza, held at Grant Park in Chicago, IL, has been exposed with some stellar bands filling the slots. The most notable band playing is Soundgarden, who will be reuniting for the headlining spot. Soundgarden was one of the first bands to enter the grunge scene in the late 80's and early 90's, and to see them would be awesome. Some bands that I have not seen before but would like to are Arcade Fire, The Strokes, The Black Keys, Grizzly Bear, Wolfmother, Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper, Minus the Bear, Rogue Wave and Mimicking Birds. Bands that I have already seen but would like to see again are Phoenix, Slightly Stoopid, MuteMath, The Dodos and Rebelution. I will definitely be steering clear of Green Day's and Lady Gaga's performance though. Most of the bands I have never heard of, which is not a bad thing because I could do some research and maybe find some music gold. The lineup is decent, but nothing special which is a little scary because a lot of these same bands will probably end up playing at ACL 2010. Still wating until May 18th, which is my birthday, release of single day tickets for ACL and ACL lineup release!
