good point there about the lack of different genres of music.
 
 and frankly, there still isn't enough there to get me to go. morrissey and brmc on day one and gomez and elbow on day 2.

They're all bands we've seen before... the only band on the list that I'd want to see that hasn't been around in a year is Modest Mouse...  Not
 worth driving (biking?) to Merriweather for.

the coup is a hip-hop act. genocide and juice was awesome.
 
 good chance i'll be out of town for that show. ah well

[markie]

Is that it for the lineup, or are there more headliners TBA? Also I guess there is no secondary stage?
 
 Considering HFS in comparison, its a hell of a lot better than it might of been. Looks better than HFStival has for years.

pj is the only one with a "*select dates only" on the lollapalooza website, for what that's worth

[ratioci nation]

there is diversity on day 2, they have jam bands from the US and the UK

 Day 2
 
 String Cheese Incident, Flaming Lips, Gomez, Polyphonic Spree, The Coup, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Elbow, Wheat, DJ Peretz, Mass Gaming, Just beCauses
 
 PJ Harvey is supposed to be on select dates, but personally I hope she'll play at 9:30 instead.

Sure, no alt-country but if you look at the rest of the line-up...
 
 hiphop/DJ - Danger Mouse, DJ Peretz, the Coup
 
 Jam - String Cheese, STS9
 
 And in terms of the dreaded indie/alt. rock category, I don't care what you say, but The Polyphonic Spree, Morrissey, Sonic Youth, BRMC, The Datsuns, The flaming Lips, Elbow  and Le Tigre are all completely different bands from one another.  Hardly the same thing at all.

The Coup were the group that came under fire after 9/11 for releasing an album with the members of the group blowing up the Twin Towers.
 
 DJ Peretz = Perry Farrell.

Very cool info.  Thanks balls.  I'm in for Cheap Trick already.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

In the Express today, the said the Damnwells were on par with Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, and Whiskeytown in terms of alt-country greatness.
 
 Anybody who saw the Damnwells open for the Old 97's knows how laughable that statement is.

That may be the worst statement ever made in the Washington Post.
