The full lineup for Lollapalooza 2010 won't be announced until April, but the headliners for the popular music festival have been leaked as of yesterday. Lady GaGa, Green Day, and the recently reunited Soundgarden will be headlining Lollapalooza 2010.
The full music festival lineup isn't likely to surface for another few months, but The Strokes and Arcade Fire are rumoured to be two of the additional three headliners that will join Lady GaGa, Green Day, and Soundgarden on the festival's main stage.
The news first surfaced on The Daily Swarm, which cites "multiple industry sources" as confirming that Gaga, Green Day and the recently reunited Soundgarden will headline the fest. It also reports that three additional headliners will be confirmed when the full Lollapalooza lineup is officially announced, which in past years has typically occurred in April.
Lollapalooza 2010 will be taking place in Chicago from August 6-8 this year. One of the biggest changes will be the fact that Lady GaGa will be returning as a headliner for Lollapalooza. In 2007, she was a relatively unknown performer on a side stage at the music festival. This year, there's no doubt that every spectator in the crowd will know her name.
Lollapalooza is one of the biggest music festivals in the States. Last year's festival grossed $14,082,461 according to Billboard's Boxscore, and was attended by some 225,000 concert goers. It was the third highest grossing music festival of 2009, and there's no doubt that the 2010 Lollapalooza event will be just as successful.
Here is a list of other rumoured performers for Lollapalooza 2010:
- BoB/Bobby Ray
- DriveBy Truckers
- The Cribs
- Company Of Thieves
- Infected Mushroom
- X Japan
- The Flaming Lips
- Phoenix
- Hockey
- Disco Buscuits

I guess people really love their trannies. Soundgarden is gonna totally steal this show!! First performance in 13 years and its in CHICAGO!! WHOO!!
at 21:42 on March 2nd, 2010
Who rather see the strokes or arcade fire...cuz the actually can perform on stage consistently very well...arcade fire is better live than in the studio and the stroke are also very good live...soundgarden is good live but not as good as the strokes and arcade fire!

I am AMAZED that X Japan is even being mentioned here. They have been around since the 80's and are hugely popular in Japan but they have never played an American festival or in the Midwest for that matter. J rock fans (myself included) are going to be thrilled if they do end up playing there.
at 15:40 on March 3rd, 2010
man Tool was last year Rage Against the Machine the year before they better get some shit besides greenday and lady GAGA.
at 12:22 on March 22nd, 2010
or the yeahyeahyeahs/ bassnectar last year and wilco the year before ... at the other end of the park... epicnessss!
at 16:03 on March 3rd, 2010
Holy shit this better be (I suspect it probably is) false. This is the most awful, out of place, bland headliners I have ever seen.
at 10:12 on March 4th, 2010
oOMGG%%$$ THIS IS LYKE THE BEZT LINEZ UP EVERS!#$%$ SHITZ YA'LL DON'T KNOW GOOD MUSIC TIL YOUZ HEAR grEEn DAY BITCH! SHIT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF. I'M ON THE BOULAVARD OF FUCKING BROKEN DREAM NIGGAR! CHICAGO HERE I COMEZ
at 12:43 on March 4th, 2010
I think the way you type, Raneesha, proves just how many really cool and intelligent people these headliners are attracting to Lolla this year!
at 14:20 on March 11th, 2010
Oh man. Arcade Fire. YES!!!!
at 06:42 on March 14th, 2010
would have been sweet if beastie boys could have made it this year
at 14:39 on March 15th, 2010
I noticed that Faith No More is playing at Coachella this year, hopefully that means they will appear at Lolla too!
at 17:08 on March 22nd, 2010
green day? wow. slackkkk. we need some kid cudi! and shwayze! lets throw in some 311 and incubus too.
at 10:34 on March 29th, 2010
yeah man 311 and incubus are both sick. i have seen them both live and they are the 2 best shows i have ever been to

It was confirmed in February 2010 by the leader of X-Japan that the band had been invited to headline the main stage this year. This band can and has sold out 50,000 seat auditoriums in mere minutes! These guys are HOT!
at 18:53 on March 22nd, 2010
who the hell is Lady Gaga? why is she at a rock festival?
at 22:24 on March 23rd, 2010
fuck. all. these. headliners. let's get something that's not some form of pop bullshit. kthanks.
at 19:11 on March 24th, 2010
umm....Soundgarden is definitely not just random pop bullshit. They're grunge legends and this is their first public performance in 13 years. So for us SG fans, this is pretty fucking sick.
at 23:10 on March 23rd, 2010
I seriously hope this is a joke. I wouldn't pay money to see any of these bands individually let alone go to a festival where these bands are headlining.
at 13:21 on March 24th, 2010
Hey dudes, I think Lady Gaga's music is only shit, that isn't a Lollapalooza Line up, I mean, what's wrong with Perry? If I were Perry, I would include somebody like Flaming Lips, Arcade Fire, Roger Waters, etc. Never Lady Gaga. Please.
at 13:28 on March 24th, 2010
By the way, I would include Portishead too..... I don't know, I hope my comments don't ofend anybody.
at 10:42 on March 25th, 2010
i love Portishead! and hate this lineup.... :(
at 18:20 on March 24th, 2010
Green Day and Lady Gaga...really?
at 18:25 on March 24th, 2010
Perry...c'mon. Please tell me there is going to be someone worth paying $190 for. Let's just hope the rumors are wrong. I've made the trip to Chicago 5 years in a row at around 2 grand a pop and if this is the best he can do I may have to opt for Bonnaroo...
