ShareCHICAGO — Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Deadmau5 and A Perfect Circle will join previously reported headliners Eminem, Foo Fighters and Muse at Lollapalooza on Aug. 5-7 in Grant Park, the festival will announce Tuesday.
Also among the artists to be announced by Texas-based promoters C3 Presents are Cee Lo Green, Damian Marley with Nas, the Cars, Ween, Bright Eyes, Big Audio Dynamite, Girl Talk, Titus Andronicus, Deftones, Kid Cudi, Sleigh Bells and Arctic Monkeys.
The seventh annual festival will again feature more than 130 performers on eight stages.
As usual, the festival has only a smattering of hip-hop and world-music artists, though a handful of Chilean bands — Chico Trujillo, Los Bunkers and Ana Tijoux — have been booked as part of a cultural exchange with Lollapalooza Chile, which debuted April 2-3 in Santiago.
But Lollapalooza 2011 will once again raise the profile of electronic artists, as affirmed by the headlining status of Deadmau5 (Toronto progressive-house star Joel Zimmerman) and a significantly larger presence for the Perry’s Lounge DJ stage, which will now be able to accommodate more than 15,000 fans in its new location west of Columbus Avenue on Hutchinson Field. The stage’s namesake, Lollapalooza cofounder Perry Farrell, will be among the artists, performing under the name PerryEtty vs. Chris Cox.
Three-day tickets ($215) are available at lollapalooza.com. Single-day tickets will go on sale June 7. Dates and times of the performances will be announced at a later date.
