Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West and Wilco Gather for Lollapalooza

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West and Wilco lead the lineup for this summer's Lollapalooza, which will be held between 4 and 6 August in Chicago's Grant Park. The event will also feature Common, Manu Chao, Queens Of The Stone Age, the Shins, Death Cab For Cutie, Matisyahu, Ween and Jack White's new band, the Raconteurs, Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell announced yesterday.

Tickets for the show are on sale now. A recent unannounced presale cleared through 3,000 $45 three-day-passes in just over 30 minutes.

Additional acts confirmed for Lollapalooza include Flaming Lips, Ryan Adams, Sonic Youth, Thievery Corporation, Sleater-Kinney, Broken Social Scene, New Pornographers, Secret Machines, Gnarls Barkley, Cursive, Stars, Calexico, Nada Surf, Nickel Creek, Lady Sovereign, Feist, the Frames, Sparta, Jeremy Enigk, Wolfmother and Eels.

Despite oppressive heat, more than 30,000 attended each day of last year's two-day Lollapalooza in Grant Park. It was the first stationary happening in the event's history, which stretches back to the first tour in 1991 when Farrell's band, Jane's Addiction, served as headliner.

Lollapalooza is produced by Austin, Texas-based Capital Sports & Entertainment and Charles Attal Presents, who also stage the annual Austin City Limits Festival in September.
