Unconfirmed: Lolla Headliner Rumor Roundup

By Johnny Loftus in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 23, 2009 4:25PM

As reported here and here, the full list of Lollapalooza 2009 headliners has been revealed. In addition to the Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction, and Depeche Mode, the anchor stages at either end of Grant Park will also feature The Killers and Tool. Lou Reed, the Decemberists, Neko Case, and Andrew Bird have also been tipped to participate.

Reaction to the headliners was mixed even before Brandon Flowers, et al and those well-off mood rockers in Tool were added to the bill, so what's the verdict now? Does the list of Lolla's big dogs read like a bizarro world No Alternative compilation, or is it something you can get behind and support?
