Twenty-one years after initially kicking off as a touring extravaganza, and seven years after taking up one-stop residency at Chicago's Grant Park, Lollapalooza has announced the lineup for its 2012 fest scheduled for the weekend of August 3 - 5. Headliners this year include Red Hot Chili Peppers , The Black Keys, a reunited Black Sabbath and Jack White. (Are you noticing the color theme here?) A bit further down, acts as varied as recent MTV Unplugged star Florence + The Machine , [...]
The official lineup officially hit last night, and you can check out the full list below. The Black Keys have really exploded up the lineup from being middle of the afternoon several years ago to being one of the 3 main headliners this year, even above a reunited Black Sabbath.

It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t left you, without more heat to step to… …buuuuuut, I’m back with some jammers. So tune in and enjoy friends. In case you were wondering, I used the few days last week after my birthday on the 18th to relax and do things that didn’t involve the internet. Crazy, I know. But it was glorious. I urge you all to do the same. …After you peep these bangers of course ;) Life on the Nickel - Foster The People - Mansions On the Moon Remix [...]

Oh, Bonnaroo . You do it to us every time. Year by year, over 80,000 people make the pilgrimage to a field in the middle of nowhere, Tennessee to camp for four days in the blistering heat with little to no refuge and more dust than anyone should be able to handle. That sounds kinda miserable, right? How then, you might ask, did Bonnaroo make it to this, their 10th year? I think that can be summed up in their newfound theme song, by the Del McCoury Band and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, "Bonnaroo (Feel the Magic)". [...]

If you're hitting the farm this weekend, then you really shouldn't be reading this. Otherwise, have fun sitting in 10 hours worth of traffic. But for those who aren't attending in person, there's still the option of taking in Bonnaroo's 2011 festivities from the comfort of a computer chair while chomping on a big bag of Doritos. After shelling out more big bucks for the rights, VEVO will be webcasting a number of Bonnaroo's 2011 performances, including Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Mumford & Sons, Wiz Khalifa, Florence & the Machine, [...]
