Lolla Revisited

The updates on the Border Crossing issue got me to take a look at what other posts could stand another look-see. There's apparently been a little, tiny bit of action on the Lollapalooza front. The organizers still haven't announced an agreement with the city for a permit to hold the festival in Grant Park, and they still haven't announced any bands. However, Dinosaur, Jr., have announced that they'll be ending their reunion tour at Lollapalooza. Two bands identified--68 to go.

Since what little info we've got is leaking out through bands making their own announcments, I thought I might see what I could find on google. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with quite the right collection of search terms. But here are some bands we should not expect to grace this year's Lollapalooza stage: U2 will be in Rome; Chicago (the band, not the city) will be in Raleigh; Ozzfest will be in Pittsburgh and Washington, so that cuts out Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Rob Zombie; Eminem says he's not touring until later in the year; Elvis Costello will be in Boston (although he'll be in Chicago on Sunday night and then is coming back three days after Lollapalooza). More news as it breaks.
