Depeche Mode, Tool, the Killers, the Beastie Boys, Kings of Leon, and Jane’s Addiction (well, if they’re still around) are headlining this year’s installment of Lollapalooza, which will descend on Chicago’s Grant Park from Aug. 7-9. Other highlights: Neko Case, Bat for Lashes, Ida Maria, Constantines, and a socially networked lineup page that is proving the Beasties to be the fest’s most Facebook-friendly headliner.

Lollapalooza 2009 lineup [Turn It Up]
I for one am very excited. Lykke Li, Fleet Foxes, IDA Marie, even Depeche Mode.
Seems to be the most well-rounded lineup of the bunch in terms of “alternative” music (whatever that means) without having all those jam-band or boomer-rock detours. I’m surprised Rancid isn’t on the bill considering they will be touring w/Rise Against at the time
@2ironic4uYeah, I thought that was weird about Rancid. I live in Chicago so I hope they just play a show somewhere else since I think this line-up is pretty whack.
@drunkwithpowerBummer, neither are coming around me (NYC) though I think a date might be announced once the Bamboozle (which Rise Against is playing) concludes (due to the out-clause thing festivals have)
I have a feeling I’m going to be seeing a lot of the daytime shows…the headliners not so much (except for Depeche Mode, the BB’s, and Lou Reed).
Perry’s dance tent seems more promising than usual though. Maybe it’ll be bigger this year…and not under a tree?
It’s weird, this year’s lineup is just off for me for some reason. It’s probably a bunch of people’s dream lineup…
Are The Killers a bigger act than both the Beaties and Jane’s at this point?
Great line-up this year. Last year was too huge with NIN/Kanye/Radiohead/Rage and attracted far too many douchebags. I think the d-bag quotient will be a little lighter this time around.
@LostTurntable i think the presence of Tool and the Beastie Boys might nullify your argument.
