If you went to Lollapalooza last year, some of the headliners will look familiar (Arcade Fire, The Strokes), and others will be interesting to say the least (Kings of Leon rallying after lukewarm reception for Come Around Sundown, Kanye West’s continuation of his victory lap). The festivities will take place April 15-17th.
