Lollapalooza Returns!

Don't laugh: Lollapalooza is back. We all know what happened last year when nobody wanted to go to Lollapalooza-- they cancelled it. But, because the single-weekend megafests have been so successful the past few years, they're going to try and apply that tactic to Lollapalooza 2005, which will take place in Chicago's Grant Park on July 23 and 24. Considering the downtown location, it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to camp out at this festival. Billboard reports that possible artists include Beck, the Killers, Kings of Leon, and Widespread Panic. This seems to take after Bonnaroo's half-jam, half-indie rock mentality.

Lollapalooza's website has been updated and simply says to come back on April 1, hopefully with more info and a more complete line-up. Given Lollapalooza's snafu last year, let's just hope a visit to the website on Friday doesn't say "April Fools!"
