Belated Happy Lolla Day!

Chicago music fans received an extra special valentine yesterday. Lollapalooza promoters announced that the festival is coming back to the Chicago lakefront August 4-6. Everything about it is bigger than last year.
Lollapalooza will double in size when it returns to Grant Park next summer on a bigger playing field that will stretch from Hutchinson Field to the Petrillo Music Shell, organizers announced Monday.

The rock festival's organizers said they will schedule 130 artists to play on eight stages over three days, Aug. 4-6. A Chicago citizens group said the event is expected to bring in at least $800,000 for Chicago parks, and promoters estimated that 225,000 people would attend over the three days.

3 days.
130 bands. (Radiohead's triumphant return to Grant Park? Pumpkins reunion?)
8 stages.
Grant Park from Hutchinson Field to the Petrillo Music Shell.

Don't miss it. See you there.
