Lollapalooza To Change Formats

By liz

It's been rumored for some weeks but we finally have confirmation that LOLLAPALOOZA will be changing to a 2-date format in each US city they visit on this year's tour. Organizers have finally agreed that to hold a one day festival is simply not giving the kids the best of the festival scene. The announced lineup so far has taken a far more eclectic direction than last year's festival with a few of the acts announced so far being: MORRISSEY, THE FLAMING LIPS, STRING CHEESE INCIDENT, LE TIGRE, BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB, MODEST MOUSE and THE FIRE THEFT. There have been rumors floating about with names like Gomez, The Polyphonic Spree and Sonic Youth to soon be added to the list of confirmed artists. Keep your fingers crossed as the festival this year is shaping up to be a far more diverse event than last year's Jane's Addiction reunion.
