Lollapalooza 2008 Rumours

Some big acts have been rumoured to be on the bill for this year’s Lollapalooza.

The Presidents of the United States of America are back…

The not so serious Seattle band are back with a new album, which is their first album in four years, and will be on the road too.

These Are the Good Times People hits stores today and is the band’s sixth studio album; so if you enjoy the simplistic and goofy music of PUSA then you should snag a copy.

The Sasquatch! Music Festival will return with a stellar line-up.

R.E.M., The Cure, The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, The Breeders, Flight of the Conchords, Cold War Kids, M.I.A., and Crudo (which is a new Mike Patton/Dan the Automator project) will be on the bill.
