Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails to headline Lollapalooza '08
Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are expected to headline the fourth incarnation of Lollapalooza in Grant Park Aug. 1-3.
Promoters won’t make the lineup official for a few more weeks, but industry sources have confirmed that Radiohead has been booked as the centerpiece of the festival. The British quintet still raves about the experience they had in 2001 when they headlined a rare outdoor show at Hutchinson Field (Tribune file photo at left), on the South end of Grant Park. The band is expected to perform at the same location this year.
In addition, Nine Inch Nails will play its first Chicago show in several years, following the release of its 2007 album, “Year Zero,” and the four-volume “Ghosts,” made available a few days ago on the nin.com Web site.
At least one other major headliner and about 100 more artists and bands are expected to be announced for the three-day festival next month.
