Lollapalooza

Once again, life imitates a Sinbad movie.

Rain. It has the potential to ruin a perfectly good music festival.

Though Eminem’s powerful Friday night performance was still on the lips of countless fans who returned for Day Two of Lollapalooza, some of the fest’s most intriguing and prolific rock artists asserted their genre's relevance right from the get-go on Saturday.

Just by scanning the Day One lineup of Lollapalooza’s 10th annual edition at Chicago’s Grant Park – its 18 year as an institution – it was clear that festival organizers set out to forge a weekend that won’t soon be forgotten among the countless multi-day music events with increasingly homogenized rosters.

Lollapalooza is happening in Chicago this weekend.

A week after news leaked about Lollapalooza's headliners this year, the fest has made it official.

There's no official lineup for Lollapalooza yet, but the Chicago Tribune is reporting that music heavyweights Kings of Leon, Skrillex, Arctic Monkeys and Eminem will be among this year's headliners.

The Cure, Mumford and Sons, the Killers and Nine Inch Nails have been confirmed as headliners for Lollapalooza 2013, which takes place in Chicago's Grant Park on Aug. 2-4. The four monsters of alt-rock top a bill featuring dozens of artists, with Phoenix, New Order, the Postal Service and Vampire Weekend among the other top-tiered acts.

Queens of the Stone Age premiered a new song during their set at Lollapalooza Brazil yesterday. The song, 'My God Is the Sun,' is the first full track to surface from the band's new album, ' ... Like Clockwork.'
