Earlier this afternoon, the Chicago Tribune's Greg Kot reported three of the headliners for this year's Lollapalooza Festival: the Beastie Boys, Depeche Mode, and Jane's Addiction. Reps for the festival and the bands wouldn't confirm Kot's info, which Kot claims he got from "multiple sources inside the industry." What can we say? The man is connected. The festival will go down August 7-9 in Chicago's Grant Park. Kot reports that the organizers will name "three more arena-level headliners." The festival organizers aren't planning on announcing the lineup until April 21, but they might want to hurry that up a bit now that they've got reporters sniffing around. Even though we couldn't confirm anything, all those names make sense. Jane's Addiction, as we reported earlier, will sit out the Chicago night of their tour with Nine Inch Nails this summer, a pretty clear sign that they'll play Lolla. (Plus, you know, the whole Perry-Farrell-founding-Lollapalooza thing.) Depeche Mode, meanwhile, will release their new Sounds of the Universe next month. We reported the dates on their American tour yesterday, but they've barely announced any Midwest dates, and there's a big hole in their schedule right around August 7-9. As for the Beastie Boys, they're reportedly at work on a new album, but they'll also play the Bonnaroo Festival earlier in the summer, so they're presumably trying to get back out there in the world this year.
