Lolla's shaping up (maybe?)

With still a few weeks to go before the 2009 Lollapalooza lineup is announced, seemingly every concievable name in the alt/indie-rock universe is being thrown around as a possible additon to this year's stable of acts. And with will over 100 bands slated again for this summer's shindig in Chicago's Grant Park, they're all fair game.

From a very reliable source, here are a smathering of names being tossed around for Lolla 2009:

Of Monteal

Andrew Bird

Theivery Corp

Decemberists

Bon Iver

Glasvegas

Ben Folds

Manchester Orchestra

Deerhunter

Animal Collective

TV on the Radio

Coheed & Cambria

No Age

Atmosphere

Kaiser Chiefs

Band of Horses

Silversun Pickups

Snoop Dogg

Cold War Kids

Passion Pit


Not bad. Plenty of band's Id watch casually with some interest, but no one I'd mark the days on my calendar to see. Atmosphere, No Age and Animal Collective are nice additions, and I'd be interested to see what tricks Snoop pulls out of his sleeve. Still the tentative lineup still needs a few power players, like the Stooges in 2007 or Pixies in 2005. We'll see.
