Lollapalooza Lineup for 2008

2008 Lineup

Sarah P
Lollapalooza 2008 is coming this summer to Grant Park Chicago on August 1 through 3, 2008. What started in 1991 has became a huge American music festival. In 2004, it was canceled due to low ticket sales, and it was recreated only now for one USA city in 2005. Lollapalooza 2008 has released its lineup today.

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.
