Early this morning the folks behind Lollapalooza announced the lineup for the annual three-day festival, its tenth in Grant Park; as Gossip Wolf long suspected, OutKast are headlining. The reunited Atlanta hip-hop duo join the four headliners Greg Kot leaked last week—Eminem, Kings of Leon, Skrillex, and Arctic Monkeys, spicing up a bland list of acts that have played Lolla in the not-too-recent past. The sixth headliner, Scottish electronic producer Calvin Harris, also played Lollapalooza in 2012. The big acts closing out each night are supposed to increase enthusiasm for the event, but it’s hard to get excited about seeing Eminem play Lolla on Friday night when I can remember that just a few years ago he headlined on a Saturday—Lollapalooza’s big enough that it should be able to offer up more of a variety of top-tier performers. Hey, at least there’s OutKast!
