Lollapalooza

I’m going to Lollapalooza this year in Chicago (which just might be my next home) and I’m pretty excited about it, because I like a lot of the bands that will there. I know this isn’t an exciting post for some of my readers - but for those that are into trying out new bands, here are my picks for best acts to see this year at Lollapalooza:

Ordered by start time of performance:

Day 1:

  • The Fratellis
  • Illinois
  • Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
  • Silversun Pickups
  • The Black Keys (Akron’s Finest Rock Band)
  • LCD Soundsystem

Day 2:

  • Dear and the Headlights
  • Tokyo Police Club (Must See)
  • Cold War Kids
  • Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs
  • Spoon
  • Interpol

Day 3:

  • The Cribs (Must See)
  • Los Campesinos
  • Kings of Leon
  • Pete Bjorn and John
  • Yo La Tengo
  • Modest Mouse
  • And a band I used to love: Pearl Jam

So these are my feelings today, and I will update all after I’ve been to what I’m predicting will be a great event.

The Cribs:

Muse rocks live … I’d stick around Saturday night for them

I thought Black Holes & Revelations was a really great album, but I think I’d prefer Interpol in that time slot. That one is a close call.
