Jesse Lacey of Brand New, one of the bands on this year’s Lollapalooza.

The 2008 Lollapalooza lineup was announced earlier this week. Some well-known names on the bill include Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Kanye West, Gnarls Barkley, and Brand New. In addition, some of your favorite Almost A-Listers (e.g. Kid Sister and The Cool Kids) are scheduled to perform as well.

While the lineup is pretty fierce this year, tickets are an outrageous price–granted, they always are. I suppose for that many awesome bands, the money is well worth it. One of the things I have always enjoyed about Lollapalooza is that it seems to have a more diverse selection of bands–Gnarls Barkley is no where near Brand New, which is no where near The Black Keys or The Cool Kids. If only this event wasn’t all the way in Chicago…

But we want to know how you’re feeling about this year’s lineup. Also, we know that there are a lot of summer festivals and events that go on besides Lollapalooza (Warped Tour, Ozzfest, Projekt Revolution, Bamboozle, etc.), and we want to know which one you’re looking most forward to and why. So shout it out in the comments! :]
