I love all the headliners, especially Green Day, Arcade Fire, and MGMT. My biggest and best surprise though was Jukebox the Ghost being included. This band seems to be having quite a good year. They already have been on one tour and have plans for another this summer. Oh, and don't forget the trip they took to SXSW, I'm sure they won't. Jukebox have a couple New York dates coming up, including: May 29th at Bowery Ballroom and June 12th at Music Hall of Williamsburg.

Green Day + Soundgarden to headline Lollapalooza

The full line-up isn't official yet, but we are starting to get news of some artists who will be at this year's Lollapalooza. Headliners include Green Day and the newly reformed Soundgarden. This will be the band's first performance since their split 12 years ago.

Excited about their reunion and/or this year's festivals? I know this news had me planning my trip to Chicago.
