The Lollapalooza 2008, one of music's biggest festivals, will begin on Friday in Chicago's Grant Park.

 

Kanye West, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Wilco, Nine Inch Nails, Gnarls Barkley and Lupe Fiasco are among the blockbuster names that are playing in the Lollapalooza.

The Raconteurs, Bloc Party, Cat Power, Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, Kid Sister, Girl Talk, Mates of State, G. Love and Special Sauce, the Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, Kid Sister, the Cool Kids, Blues Traveler, Jamie Lidell, Battles, Office, Grizzly Bear and Go! Team were also leaked as performers on Friday.

 

Organizers have also announced that Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Dierks Bentley, Okkervil River, Amadou and Mariam, John Butler Trio, CSS, Battles, Jamie Lidell and Butch Walker will play too.

Other names announced that were not on April’s leaked line-up include Duffy, Mates Of State, Spank Rock, Brazilian Girls, Chromeo, The Kills, Rouge Wave, The Go! Team, Mason Jennings, The Gutter Twins and MGMT.

 

Lollapalooza will take place on seven stages at once with each stage named after its official sponsor: Bud Light, PlayStation 3, Perry’s, BMI, Kidz, Citi, MySpace and AT&T.

 

Advance three-day passes are currently sold out, but the regular three-day passes are still available for $205. A single day pass for Friday, Saturday or Sunday is $80. Tickets are available at the Lollapalooza Web site, which is located at www.lollapalooza.com.
