Lollapalooza announces 2009 lineup

After a somewhat weak list of headliners, Lollapalooza redeemed itself by announcing a number of quality midlevel bands that will play at this year's festival. Check out the lineup here.

Here's who I'm looking forward to (in order of how they appear on the Lolla site):

Tool
Beastie Boys
Kings of Leon (kind of)
Andrew Bird
TV on the Radio
The Decemberists
Animal Collective (glad they got the chance to make up for their Metro show)
Band of Horses
Of Montreal
Fleet Foxes
Kaiser Chiefs
Deerhunter
Gomez
Ra Ra Riot

Here's my guess for how the headliners will match up:

Friday: Beastie Boys and the Killers
Saturday: Tool and Kings of Leon
Sunday: Depeche Mode and Jane's Addiction

  2. Its a joke if they don't have the Beastie Boys close out or have thier own timeslot and they let all those other shitliners have it.

    -in my opinion

  3. I would really look forward to Thievery Corporation. Ticket prices however for Lolla will probably delay me seeing them live.
