2010 Lollapalooza lineup: Information source
Some of the bands were leaked before the official announcement by Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune, who often announces part of the Lollapalooza lineup before the festival officially confirms anything. Kot has sources within the festival and is rarely wrong about this sort of thing.

We'll be updating the list as it changes.
Earlybird 2010 Lollapalooza tickets went on sale on March 30 at a cost of $190. Regular-priced three-day passes (expected to cost more than $200) will go on sale soon.
The festival also sells single-day tickets. In past years, single-day passes did not sell out until just before the festival, but that will probably change this year if Lady Gaga does indeed play Lollapalooza 2010. When she performed in Chicago in January, tickets were being scalped for upwards of $150.
The possibility of getting to see Gaga (and 100 other bands) for just $50 more is likely to make tickets go fast. Also, the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago in July sold out in record time this year, despite a price increase.
Festivals are selling well all across the country, so get your tickets early if you want to go.

Sweet info..I am surprised by some of the artists. Thanks!
I have heard of 3 or 4 of the acts :) Always wanted to go to a concert in Grant Park. Went to Straitfest in the old Soldier Field twice, that was great.
Never heard of Lollapalooza-but looks like it would be great music and fun
