Amidst all the madness of SXSW last week, I didn’t get a chance to post some of the best news the Windy City will have to offer all year – The Lollapalloza line-up. Check out some of these names:

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wilco, Kanye West, Death Cab, The Raconteurs (Jack White/Brendan Benson), The Flaming Lips, Queens Of The Stone Age, The Shins, Ryan Adams, Sonic Youth, Broken Social Scene, Iron & Wine, Stars, Editors, Nada Surf, Feist, Go! Team, Mates Of State, Of Montreal, Wolfmother, Sound Team, OFFICE…

That’s not even close to all of them either… I just poached my personal favorites. For the full list (thus far), click here.

Unlike last year’s two-day Lolla event, 2006 will see the festival expanded to three days and utilize a much larger portion of parkland (69 Acres).

Lollapalooza 2006 will be held August 4-6 in Chicago’s Grant Park.
