Lollapalooza 2010 Lineup

By Sarah on April 6, 2010

In case you took an internet hiatus overnight, here’s some “news” for you: Lollapalooza’s lineup for the 2010 festival has been released in full, including all the letters and &s and *’s, because god forbid they write out Fuck Buttons on their website.  The lineup had, of course, already been guessed to about 90% completion by the internet, thanks to leaks about the headliners and all those handy letters that Lolla put out for their Wheel of Fortune-esque teasers.

Aside from the fact that I’m always conflicted about Lollapalooza (I’ve lived here since 2006 and finally got around to dragging myself to the festival last year for the first time), the lineup seems a bit “…meh” to me.  The headliners overall aren’t as huge as I’d come to expect from the festival, and the supporting tiers seem a bit thin.  There aren’t a whole lot of acts who I’m dying to see, and a lot of the acts I’m excited about are actually ones who I’ve already seen (or will have seen by the time Lolla arrives).  And I’m sure someone else can analyze this more in-depth, but there’s a huge lack of local music on the line-up.  Lolla’s never made any pretense about being a local music festival — it’s a huge (inter)national festival which just happened to find its home in Chicago — but it would be nice to see some more nods towards its host city in its programming.

But, I’ll admit it, even though half of the internet is all OMG LOLLA SOLD OUT, I’m pretty excited that Lady Gaga is one of the headliners.  Go ahead, take away any music street cred I had left, but I am absolutely going to be at her set.  There, yeah, I said it.  (Also, it will be interesting to see how she adapts her notoriously over-the-top stage show to fit the throw-and-go nature of Lollapalooza.)

So now, of course, we just have to wait (and wait, and wait) for the set schedules to come out.  (Consequence of Sound has an unconfirmed day-by-day break-down.)  Because, knowing my luck, all of the bands I want to see will be playing at the same time.
