Last year I vowed never to return to Grant Park, Chicago for a concert ever again. Lollapalooza 2009 was a complete cluster of drunks, cocky frat guys with beer-bongs, wineos, colossal beach balls and half-naked chicks who shouldn’t be half-naked. I don’t even remember sitting through an entire show, except Foals (who were absolutely fantastic, BTW). It was so exhausting and ridiculous that I didn’t dare to head down to the action on Sunday, even though I purchased a 3-day pass.  My return home included an hour long discussion with my brother that basically concluded: “never again.”

Then they came out with this year’s lineup:

• Vampire Weekend
• Peter Bjorn and John
• Passion Pit
• Band of Horses
• The Killers
• The Decemberists
• Fleet Foxes
• Santigold
• Lykke Li
• TV on the Radio
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs
• Ra Ra Riot
• Friendly Fires

Buncha a-holes. See you there.
