Lollapalooza 2012 Official Line-Up Revealed, This Time For Real
Earlier yesterday we told you about a photo that leaked on to the Internet that might have been the list of talent set to perform at this year’s Lollapalooza music festival out in Chicago. Now, it looks like the Chicago Sun-Times has managed to release the names of musicians that are officially booked for the three-day festival.
But, as soon as other blogs caught wind of the news break, which broke out onto the Interwebs at 8:25 PM CST this evening from the Sun-Times website, it was soon quickly taken down. Just 12 minutes after mega music blog Pitchfork picked up on the Lollapalooza line-up announcement (who will also have their own music festival this summer as well), looks like someone over at the Sun-Times decided to erase that article.
Thankfully, other blogs such as Stereogum managed to get down the names of all the acts playing this year before that happened (and even from a different Chicago newspaper), which we will now present to you below:
