So this marks number 7? 8? What year of the festival is this exactly? Well who cares really as it's the best lineup in a decade. The dates of this year's Lollapalooza tour have been announced and we don't think anyone will be disappointed. As we found out a few months ago each stopover on the tour will be a two day affair. Day One's will consist of Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey, Modest Mouse, Le Tigre, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Von Bondies, The Walkmen and the saddest man to no longer live in Manchester... MORRISSEY. The Day Two lineup thusfar is also shaping up nicely with the likes of The Pixies, Wilco, Gomez, The Polyphonic Spree, The Thrills, Basement Jaxx, The Fire Theft and More. Read on for the dates...
