Perry Farrel to headline his own show


…with a hand-full of other irrelevant acts.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Las Vegas glam-popsters the Killers and progressive-metal giants Tool have joined the Kings of Leon, the Beastie Boys, Jane’s Addiction and Depeche Mode as the year’s top acts on Aug. 7 to 9. ( Yawn…… )

Late yesterday the Chicago Sun-Times have posted this list of more ‘probable’ Lolla acts… this is by no means official.. but these things tend to be pretty accurate. If this is the case, it should make up for the relatively weak-sauce headliners (minus – KOL & Tool… I’ll dabble).
