- Published on Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:55
Though the official lineup announcement was scheduled for tomorrow, it looks like the Chicago Sun Times jumped the gun and posted the 2012 Lollapalooza lineup tonight. Headliners are Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Jack White, Avicii, and Justice. If you're keeping track, that's the first time two electronic acts have headlined Lollapalooza. As always, it's the undercard that determines the real strength of a festival and the 2012 edition of Lollapalooza delivers.
Artists we are excited to see: Florence + The Machine, At the Drive-In, Sigur Ros, M83, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Metric, tUnE-yArDs, The Tallest Man on Earth, Of Monsters and Men, Gary Clark, Jr, Alabama Shakes, Amadou & Mariam, Dum Dum Girls, Bear in Heaven, Yellow Ostrich, Givers, Polica, Sharon Van Etten, White Rabbits, Doomtree, Oberhofer, The War on Drugs, Hey Rosetta!, JEFF the Brotherhood, and First Aid Kit.
Lollapalooza takes place August 3-5 in Chicago. Tickets ($230 for a three-day pass) are on sale at lollapalooza.com. Specific days for each act will be announced at a later date, at which point single-day tickets will go on sale. Last year, 270,000 fans attended over three days, a Lollapalooza record.
This will be Soundcheck's seventh year covering the action in Chicago's Grant Park. Check out our past coverage here.
