Now that the Lollapalooza lineup has been announced, tickets are on sale and it’s full steam ahead to August 6, we thought it’s time for a little update.
Since the initial lineup was announced last month, there have been quite a few additions to the lineup – some official and some not. The official additions include Frank Turner, J. Cole, Chiddy Bang, Son of a Bad Man and Chicago hip hop duo Kidz In The Hall.

By Richard Giraldi \ 6 commentsFinally after teases all last week, the official Lollapalooza 2010 lineup has been released.
This year’s festival is an especially eclectic group of electro-dance pop, current indie-rock mainstays and some acts that are old enough to remember the festival’s original early-1990′s incarnation.
The heavily rumored headliners were indeed confirmed and include reunited grungers Soundgarden, eyeliner-punks Green Day, new-millennium-madonna Lady GaGa, epic indie-soul rockers Arcade Fire, New York garage revivalists The Strokes and French pop-machine Phoenix. Other notable acts include MGMT, Spoon, The Black Keys, Social Distortion, Devo, Cypress Hill, Girzzly Bear, Erykah Badu, Dirty Projectors, The xx and Mavis Staples.
Lollapalooza 2010 will once again grace Chicago’s Grant Park on August 6 – 8. Three day passes are on sale now for $215 at Lollapalooza.com.

By Richard Giraldi \ commentsOn Lollapalooza.com this morning, fans of the Chicago-based festival awoke to a new lineup page, which mysteriously included the letter “O” on a number of acts.
UPDATE: The letter “I” has now been added to the lineup page at Lollapalooza.com.
Their Facebook page confirms that the promoters posted a “Give me an O” status update and made the lineup page look more like “Wheel of Fortune.” And with that, it looks like Lollapalooza is taking after a number of music festivals that are using a more creative way to announce their lineup. Last year, New Orleans’ Voodoo Festival had a word scramble via twitter to announce their lineup, and this year’s Bonnaroo lineup was announced on the fest’s Myspace page at various times through out the day.
Well, if you’ve seen the new lineup page, there are a number of bands that are blatantly obvious, so lets decode a few, shall we?

One of the brightest spots in Chicago’s summer concert series are the Downtown Sound shows at Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park. The Monday night concert series has featured a variety of acts including up-and-coming indie groups such as St. Vincent and the Dirty Projectors in 2009.
Yesterday, we posted news that She & Him are confirmed to play a Monday, June 7, date. Well, Chicago Sun-Times’ Jim DeRogatis posted the entire lineup to his blog yesterday afternoon. Highlights, aside from She & Him, include a reunited Hum, Caribou, Kid Sister and the Thermals. The complete lineup is after the jump.

Pitchfork Music Festival celebrates it’s fifth anniversary at Chicago’s Union Park this year beginning on Friday, July 16, through Sunday, July 18.
UPDATE: Additional acts for Pitchfork Festival 2010 were announced this morning. The updated lineup includes Broken Social Scene and El-P who will both join Modest Mouse on Friday. Animal Collective member Panda Bear, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Bear in Heaven, Titus Andronicus, Freddie Gibbs, Dâm-Funk, and local favorites The Smith Westerns will appear alongside LCD Soundsystem on Saturday night. Finally, Girls, and local psych-rockers Cave and Allá will play on Sunday before the highly anticipated Pavement performance. I have to say, pretty cool of Pitchfork to add some local fair to the mix – something that Lollapalooza severely lacks. Also, just a reminder, three-day passes are sold out, leaving only single day passes available. More on that and the entire current festival lineup after the jump.
