Sources say Eminem, Foo Fighters to headline Lollapalooza

by Ciaran Thompson

Though the official lineup for this year’s Lollapalooza Festival won’t be announced until April, “industry sources” have revealed Eminem, Foo Fighters, and Muse are set to headline the three day event at Grant Park in Chicago from August 5-7.

Eminem is currently nominated for 10 Grammy Awards including Album Of The Year for his latest disc, Recovery and Song Of The Year for his collaboration with Rihanna on “Love The Way You Lie.”

Foo Fighters in the meantime are preparing to release their seventh studio album, which is still untitled, alongside a James Moll-directed documentary that will “chronicle the entire history of the Foo Fighters from the cassette demos Grohl recorded during his tenure as Nirvana’s drummer through their ascent to [becoming] one of the biggest rock bands on the planet.”

Also expected to turn up for this year’s festival are Best Coast, Girl Talk, Crystal Castles and Lykke Li. [Chicago Tribune]
