You Spin Me Round: Pearl Jam to Headline Lollapalooza 2007

April 17th, 2007 // 3 Comments

Good news, music lovers: Lollapalooza 2007 is on. Even more good news: Pearl Jam is headlining. Now, the bad news: Lolla is no longer a traveling tour as in years past; this year, Perry Farrell decided the alterna-fest will be a three-day festival in Chicago’s Grant Park, August 3-5, just as it was in 2005. While this is awful for East Coast snobs like me who refuse to go to the Midwest, those open-minded travelers will get quite a bang for their buck. The $195 ticket allows fans to see an astounding line-up, including The Roots, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amy Winehouse, and Interpol.

Here’s the full line-up:

Pearl Jam, Daft Punk, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Muse, Iggy & the Stooges, Modest Mouse, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, Satellite Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Snow Patrol, the Roots, Patti Smith, Kings of Leon, the Black Keys, Regina Spektor, Spoon, Lupe Fiasco, TV on the Radio, Pete Yorn, G. Love & Special Sauce, Paolo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, LCD Soundsystem, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Silverchair, Femi Kuti, Yo La Tengo, the Hold Steady, Jack’s Mannequin, Stephen Marley, Sound Tribe Sector 9, M.I.A., Slightly Stoopid, Blonde Redhead, Sparklehorse, Sean Lennon, !!!, Blue October, Son Volt, Motion City Soundtrack, Polyphonic Spree, Peter Bjorn & John, Silversun Pickups, CSS, the Rapture, the Wailers, Roky Erickson, Tapes n Tapes, Heartless Bastards, the View, the Cribs, the Fratellis, Ghostland Observatory, Tokyo Police Club, Rhymefest, Soulive, Cold War Kids, Annuals, Fields, Electric Six, Jim Noir, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, Sam Roberts Band, Black Angels, Charlie Musselwhite, Aqueduct, Juliette & the Licks, Dios, Viva Voce, David Vandervelde, Los Campesinos!, Chin Up Chin Up, Ryan Shaw, Colour Revolt, Satin Peaches, Illinois, Arckid, Mickey Avalon, The 1900s, Bang Bang Bang, Bound Stems, High Class Elite, Carey Ott, Matt Roan.

Lollapalooza is just the beginning of the road for Pearl Jam; the band reportedly planned tours in the States and Europe after their turn at Grant Park.

    Why *not* go to the Midwest? Chicago is about 102 times better than NYC. I live in NY and in about three weeks I am fleeting this increasingly expensive fratboy-infested land for the cheaper, friendlier, less pretentious, cooler (and yes, colder … but that’s what gyms and stairmasters are for) Windy City. Yay Chicago!
