Lollapalooza Palooza!

Here it is. The much awaited lineup for Lollapalooza 2010. Our initial reaction: Awesome. The bands are all over the board in terms of genre and style; a great thing when assembling a weekend of music. The headliners of Soundgarden, Green Day, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire, The Strokes, and Phoenix provide something for everyone. Lump in bands like MGMT, Spoon, The Black Keys, and a reuniting Social Distortion, and what a 10 band schedule you have already. Take a further look down the lineup and you'll see bands like The National, Cypress Hill, Cut Copy, The New Pornographers, Wolfmother, Chromeo, Drive By Truckers, AFI, and Mutemath. All fantastic supporting bands for the headliners. Can these 19 bands all play at different times please? Check out the full lineup below.

Admittedly, Lady Gaga as a headliner is a bit of a head scratcher. That is until you remember what she has done to and for the music industry in the last year. As it should, Lollapalooza tries to represent all of what is going on in the music industry. To do that efficiently, acts like Lady Gaga need to be included.

What does everyone think? Who are you most excited for? Anybody you dislike in this years lineup? Leave a comment and let us know. The set times for the weekend have not been announced as of yet. We will post that very important Lollapalooza information when it becomes available.
