Lollapalooza 2008 Schedule Posted




The schedule for this year's Lollapalooza, held August 1st - 3rd, was posted today. I'm still pretty sure that I will not be attending this year. I mean I'd like to and all, but the price, heat, crowds, etc. don't really excite me. Also, it seems that many of the bands I'd like to see have conflicting set times, meaning I don't want to watch a band for 10 minutes and head on over to another band for only 20 minutes. So yeah, I may head down Friday night to hear Radiohead, but other than that I can catch quite a few acts from the comfort of my home, thanks to the AT&T Blue Room. I've included my recommendations below and click the links for each days entire schedule. Also, Pitchfork has announced some amazing after-shows, that are definitely worth checking out.
