Lollapalooza 2008 Lineup

Well, my prediction did not come true...Lollapalooza has *no* headlining electronic artists. :-( ... but on the other hand it does seem like a pretty damn good line up with 3 huge classic artists headlining (Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, and NIN)also Chicago's own Kanye West will be holding it down after a year off last year,
and indie artists Wilco and The Raconteurs will be headlining as well.

Personally I give this lineup a 8/10 grade ... awesome indie rock bands, great classic headliners (not my cuppa tea but it will definitely pull a major crowd). However, I would have liked to see a major electronic artists in the headline...someone like Kraftwerk (even though they headline Coachella) or Justice would have all been really good choice. Also, would have liked to see some more DJs in the lineup as well but overall this is a very solid 3 day event!
