Biggest Lollapalooza Yet Underway

By Jeralyn

Lollapalooza opened today in Chicago, the biggest one yet. The Chicago Tribune will be live-blogging it all weekend. Here's the lineup.

Will Sen. Barack Obama make an appearance? He's nuts if he doesn't. Rather than pitching them on his candidacy, since most probably already support him, he ought to welcome them to his home town and use the opportunity to encourage them to register to vote. And reach out and text a friend with the same message.

Three-day attendance is expected to top 200,000 for the first time since Lolla made its Grant Park debut in 2005.

8 stages,120 bands, 700 journalists and record high heat. Last year, we were all at Yearly Kos in Chicago when Lollapalooza kicked off. Too hot with too much humidity for me, but I can see why it's such a big deal.

Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine,Wilco, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails seem to be among the more well-known groups. The clip above is Radiohead's House of Cards.
