The line-up for this year's Lollapalooza
music festival has officially been announced, featuring headliners Nine
Inch Nails, Mumford & Son, the Killers and the Cure, making their
first-ever appearance at the fest.
"The
first time I ran into Robert Smith of The Cure was 1997 in New York
City," said Perry Farrell, lead singer of Jane's Addiction and the
festival's founder, in a press release. "We were both going into the
same club; and it was Halloween. I was dressed as myself and so was he.
I am so happy the Cure have finally arrived at Lolla in Chicago."
The
announcement was made more than a week ahead of the original release
date of April 9 after the line-up was leaked when a poster revealing
the acts hit the internet late last week.
This
year's line-up is packed with heavy-hitters and fan favorites,
including Queens of the Stone Age, Kendrick Lamar, Phoenix, the Postal
Service and Vampire Weekend.
Last year’s Lollapalooza festival, which featured Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack White, Florence and the Machine and The Black Keys, was marked by a severe storm during the day of August 4 that forced organizers to clear Grant Park, although the show was able to resume a few hours later.
