Lorde,Eminem,Skrillex and Childish Gambino are among the most popular acts performing at Lollapalooza 2014, featuring 130 artists in Chicago's Grant Park Aug. 1 to 3.

DJ Calvin Harris, reunited hip-hop duo and Summerfest headliner Outkast, as well as A-list alt rockers Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys, will officially headline the 10th incarnation of the Chicago-based festival, along with Eminem — recently declared the second best selling male artist, in terms of albums, by Nielsen Soundscan — and dance music star Skrillex.

If the headlining lineup seems familiar, that's because all but Outkast have performed at Lollapalooza in recent years; Eminem was the main headliner just three years ago. There are also more "seasoned" repeat performers, like festival founder and Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, who is participating in an electronic set; and alt-rock act Interpol, a Lollapalooza headliner back in 2007 that now appears lower on the bill.

But the undercard will also feature new attractions, including U.K act Jungle, making its U.S. festival debut; emerging Chicago rapper Vic Mensa (who was actually once injured and arrested when he tried sneaking into the festival); Bleachers, the new side project fronted by fun.'s Jack Antonoff; South by Southwest standout RAC; and orchestral indie rock ensemble San Fermin, featuring Milwaukee natives Rae Cassidy and Tyler McDiarmid.

Three-day passes for the festival sold out within an hour of going on sale Tuesday morning. VIP and platinum tickets and travel packages are still available, and single-day tickets go on sale for $100 each at lollapalooza.com at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
