Lollapalooza kicks off on Friday, August 4th at Grant Park in Chicago, and the schedule for this year’s festival has just been released. Pearl Jam, My Morning Jacket and Patti Smith are among the headliners of the three-day event that features more than 130 bands. Both three-day and single-day tickets are still available for the Lollapalooza festival, which celebrates three stationary years following eight years of traveling madness.
