So the Coachella lineup is unofficially officially released, sans Smashing Pumpkins; but don’t fret my Corganophiles because now they’re being rumored to appear at Lollapalooza this summer. According to Billboard Lollapalooza will definitely be returning to Grant Park in August. It’s unclear where these Smashing Pumpkin rumors come from, whether Corgan’s actually mentioned anything or if promoters are just lusting.
And the lineup for Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Festival has been announced, with Radiohead leading the way. The festival will take place June 16-18 and tickets go on sale Saturday, February 11.
And finally, as I reported last Friday, news is swirling around about Pitchfork’s Intonation Festival 2006. Now the Sun-Times is reporting that the festival will branch into two separate events, The Intonation Music Festival and the Pitchfork Music Festival, to take place in June and July respectively. No details yet on performers, but with all the other festival buzz this week, perhaps someone will accidentally on purpose start some rumors.
There will be 3 full weekends of festival music, Lollapalooza will be Fri-Sun. Outside of the festivals, there will plenty more listening pleasures, not a bad city to live in if you enjoy summer music!
