The Grey Album mastermind Danger Mouse, Detroit garage rockers the Von Bondies and New York hipsters the Walkmen are among the latest crop of artists to join Morrissey, PJ Harvey, Sonic Youth and the Flaming Lips on this summer's Lollapalooza
lineup.
Alongside other previously announced artists the String Cheese Incident, Modest Mouse, Le Tigre, Gomez, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Polyphonic Spree (see "Lollapalooza's Farrell Explains His Taste For String Cheese"), the trek will also showcase the talents of Broken Social Scene, the Datsuns, Bumblebeez 81, the Secret Machines, the Thrills, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Elbow, Wheat and the lone hip-hop artists on the bill thus far, the Coup.
Lollapalooza founder and organizer Perry Farrell will also be on hand, performing as his electronic-music alter ego, DJ Peretz, at each stop. Additional artists are expected, and not all artists will perform at every stop.
The two-day package tour kicks off July 14 and 15 at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington. Tickets for the July 17 and 18 shows at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, outside of San Francisco, go on sale Sunday. Ten additional markets have been confirmed, with shows around New York and Los Angeles still to be announced. Special guests are expected at each show, a tour spokesperson said.
For the Shoreline show, tickets are priced at $49.50 per day for reserved seats and $29.50 for general admission. Two-day general admission passes will go for $50.
