I Was(n’t) There: A Slacker’s Guide to Lollapalooza

Instead of slapping on suntan lotion, smokin’ a doobie, and heading to Grant Park to watch tons of awesome bands at this year’s Lollapalooza, we’re still at the office like a bunch of frickin’ dumbasses. But we know we’re not alone, so we’ve scoured the Web to find all the best coverage, videos, tidbits and music coming out of Lollapalooza 2008. It’ll seem like you’re actually there, but without all the sweaty people and $25 bottles of water.

Lollapalooza 2008 Rocks You Long Time

It’s a revival! This year’s Lollapalooza at Chicago’s Grant Park promises to rock the pants off, well, anybody wearing pants like no other time since Jane’s Addiction glory days. The madness kicks-off tomorrow (Aug. 1st) with bands like The Black Keys, Gogol Bordello and Radiohead ready to rock down the house–and that’s just day one.

The festival goes until August 3rd, with Rage Against the Machine reuniting to end the second day, and Kaye West–who’s reportedly being introduced by Mr. Hope, Sen. Barack Obama himself–will close out the festival. (Nine Inch Nails is playing at bascially the same time.) You can check out the entire line-up here.

Unfortunately, rumor has it that most days for the festival are all sold out, but luckily you can still get tickets here… And you thought we wouldn’t hook you up…
