Lollapalooza, the Democratic Party of Music Festivals
Lollapalooza, following the lead of the Democratic Party, has decided to shoot itself in the foot again by making the same mistake it made last year: booking indie/alternative rock bands and jam bands to play the same show. After a disastrous Lollapalooza 2004, which was cancelled due to poor ticket sales (hmmm, what a shocker, booking Le Tigre and The String Cheese Incident on the same tour didn't work out). This year the festival will be a two-day event held in Chicago's Grant Park on July 23 and 24 with Beck, The Killers and dirty hippies Widespread Panic on the bill. The full line-up and more details will be announced on Friday.
