Some fairly famous bands and artists are included: Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Nine In Nails and Kanye West are just a few to name. Most others are lesser known bands or artist that are trying to break it big.
I feel it needs need to have bigger bands to make it more prominent like it was in the 1990s. A few bands I'd like to see are Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Live and Goo Goo Dolls. They still are making music and have a huge fan base that maybe, just maybe, they would reignite Lollapalooza.
