Depeche Mode, Beastie Boys, Jane's Addiction to headline 2009 Lollapalooza

[PeaceNikki]

Depeche Mode, the Beastie Boys and a reunited Jane’s Addiction are expected to headline the fifth annual Lollapalooza Aug. 7-9 in Grant Park.

Though promoters would not confirm the information Friday, multiple sources inside the industry said the three headliners are a lock for the festival. Three more arena-level headliners are expected to be included when the complete lineup is announced next month.

Depeche Mode is releasing its 12th album, “Sounds of the Universe,” on April 21. Though it has been a staple of alternative music since the early ‘80s, the British synth-pop band has not previously played Lollapalooza, which ran as a touring festival from 1991 through ’97 in its first incarnation.

The Beastie Boys are also working on a studio album, tentatively titled “Tadlock’s Glasses,” for release this year. The New York hip-hop trio last played Lollapalooza in 1994. Their previous studio album, “The Mix-Up,” was an all-instrumental collection released in 2007.

The original Jane’s lineup of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Eric Avery headlined the first Lollapalooza tour in 1991, only to break up soon after. There have been sporadic reunions since, but none included all four original members until some one-off gigs last year. A national tour was announced a few days ago, but a Chicago date was conspicuously absent.

I say :thumbsup: and :bounce:

12. With that line-up Sun City might be a better venue....

Gee can wwe get some bands that aren't members of AARP....

[flvegan]

14. There are a couple shitty emo-festivals every year.

Try one of those.

15. LOL.... the last concert I saw down there was Santana at the fairgrounds...

I think Los Lobos (the opening act) were the youngest people there by about 20 years.

Not that nostalgia is always a bad thing...

What's the time?

[PeaceNikki]

18. If I didn't already have it...

I just got the digitally remastered 20th anniversary edition of Paul's Boutique on vinyl. When you buy it or the CD from the BB site, they give you immediate download of DRM free MP3's. They rule. I saw them for the first time in November for a Rock the Vote tour and they are still kickin' ass in a major way. I can't wait to see them again!

[Initech]

20. Awesome lineup. I'd love to see the Beasties live.

Personally I can't fucking WAIT for the NIN/JA tour (Nine Inch Nails/JanesAddiction) tour. That will kick major amounts of ass.

[PeaceNikki]

21. As I said above, I finally got to see them a few months ago.

They went on a small Get Out the Vote tour. They even went door to door here in Milwaukee the weekend before the election.

The show was AMAZING. I can't wait to see them again.

Here are a couple clips from the show:
