by Nicole Villeneuve

Lollapalooza has announced its lineup for this year, confirming the acts that it teased through its ads on the Chicago transit system a few weeks ago, as well as a few surprises.

Jack White, the Weeknd, Justice, and Die Antwoord are all now confirmed as performers, as well as Black Sabbath (who had to put their reunion tour plans on hold due to Tommy Iommi’s cancer treatments) and other freshly reunited acts the Afghan Whigs and At the Drive-In.

Other performers will include a lot of what you’ve already seen announced for the other big festivals this summer such as Florence + the Machine, the Walkmen, Sigur Rós, the Shins, Bloc Party, and M83, as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys, Frank Ocean, Santigold, Twin Shadow, the Tallest Man on Earth, Sharon Van Etten, tUnE-yArDs, and lots more.

Lollapalooza will go down the weekend of August 3-5 in Chicago’s Grant Park. Check out the full line up and get ticket details here.
