Just when we were thinking we could get away with just one trip to Chicago this summer, Lolla drops details on the sort of lineup we were expecting to see from the Coachella folks a few months ago. Jim DeRo over at the Sun-Times gets his claws on the first confirmed information. Headliners:
Radiohead
Nine Inch Nails
Rage Against The Machine
The Raconteurs
Wilco
Kanye West
Some home town heavyweights, some Lolla ’06 alum, some potential for projectiles. Just a tip for the folks at Lolla promoting company C3: Keep Radiohead and Reznor’s green rooms far away, and their internet connections even further. And the early leak doesn’t stop there. Also confirmed: Grizzly Bear, Gnarls Barkley, the Black Keys, Stephen Malkmus, Battles, Cat Power, Girl Talk, Jamie Lidell, and — returning to the scene of our favorite show of 2006 — Broken Social Scene.
The full lineup announcement comes Monday, which has become the most exciting concert announcement day in recent memory. The full list of what we know, below.

yeah but lolla has RADDDDDDIOHEAAAAAAADDDDDDDD
Lollapalooza’s 8 stage extravaganza is such a different beast than the 3 stage Pitchfork Fest. of course there will be some crossover of bands playing both fests in different years. I am happy that I live in Chicago and can take public transportation to these great music fests

Yeah & now they see P4K as competition, I remember reading how they outbid for Yeasayer, who I think are more fit for P4K.
Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want…
The Verve, Portishead and My Bloody Valentine
Please Please Pretty Please?
Oh and to prove I’m not just into 90s nostalgia acts… Autolux.
If Coachella can have 3 out of 4, why can’t Chicago?
Finally, a summer fest WITHOUT Jack Johnson! woohoo!
OMG I love Radsiohead!!!! I am an Asshat.
Anyone know if Amy and Leslie will be playing with Kevin Drew and company?

I CANT BELIEVE LOLLA GOT 6! HUGE HEADLINERS. ALL THATS MISSING IS MY BLOODY VALENTINE AND THE VERVE.
I’m so glad one of my friends just moved to Chicago.
I don’t seem to be able to look at a festival lineup without seeing Rage Against the Machine.
do people camp out at lolla? the past three years i have stayed at hotels. and this year funds are low.
Radiohead? Guess I’[m gonna have to go get some industrial strength amphetamines to stay awake. Worst. Live. Band. Ever. Seriously, those mannequins in Kraftwerk had better stage presence.
