Lollapalooza 2010 Lineup

Last month festival organizers begin dropping hints about the lineup through a giant “Wheel of Fortune”/ hangman-style game set up on its official Web site. As of March 31, organizers had revealed every “O” contained in the bands’ names booked for Lollapalooza. The next day, the letter “R” was added.

Rolling Stone hypothesized that this meant that the five-letter/three letter artist on the top of the bill with one “R” and not a single “O” had to be Green Day – and that all of the “O”s proved that the lineup also included Phoenix and The Strokes.

And yes, indeed, all three of those bands will be rocking out at Chicago’s Grant Park Aug. 6-8.

Fans can also expect performances from Arcade Fire, Social Distortion, MGMT, Jimmy Cliff, Hot Chip, The Black Keys, The National, Spoon, Devo and Cypress Hill.

The lineup also includes Cut Copy, The New Pornographers, Erykah Badu, Slightly Stoopid, Grizzly Bear, Gogol Bordello, Chromeo, Wolfmother, Yeasayer, X Japan, MUTEMATH, Metric, Dirty Projectors, AFI, Mavis Staples and Matt & Kim.

The xx will also be there along with Drive-By Truckers, Blues Traveler, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Temper Trap, Jamie Lidell, Frightened Rabbit, F**k Buttons, Deer Tick, Blitzen Trapper, Stars, Raphael Saadiq, The Cribs, Minus The Bear, Switchfoot and The Walkmen.

You can also catch a number of DJs doing their thing “Spinning At Perry’s” including festival founder and Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell himself, along with 2ManyDJs, Empire Of The Sun, Digitalism, Kaskade, Tiga, Felix Da Housecat, Rusko and Erol Alkan.
