It’s official: Depeche Mode, Jane’s Addition, Tool, the Killers, Beastie Boys, and Kings of Leon will headline 2009’s Lollapalooza festival, scheduled to hit Chicago’s Grant Park August 7-9.
The three-day fest will also feature Snoop Dogg, Thievery Corporation, Lou Reed, TV On the Radio, Vampire Weekend, Santigold, the Decemberists, Animal Collective, Arctic Monkeys, Band of Horses, Of Montreal, Bat for Lashes, Andrew Bird, Silversun Pickups, Deerhunter, Passion Pit, Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, and Ida Maria.
The hip-hop contingency will be augmented by Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, and Rye Rye.
In addition, there will also be a nightclub-styled stage called “Perry’s” — named for the festival’s founder, Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell — featuring dance and electronic music from MSTRKRFT and Simian Mobile Disco, plus DJ sets from A-Trak and Animal Collective, among others.
Despite the suffering economy, Farrell, who will headline the festival with Jane’s Addiction for the first time since the event debuted in 1991, told Reuters that ticket sales are strong. “At Lollapalooza, we’re selling more tickets than ever,” he said. “People need an even bigger excuse to escape more than ever and there is no better escape than going to a festival and just tripping and taking in music.”
Advance 3-Day passes ($190) are currently on sale at the festival’s website. Check out the full lineup below.
