Lollapalooza Fantasy Lineup
August 05, 2008
Posted by Kyle

This year's Lollapalooza got me thinking - what would MY fantasy Lollapalooza line up be. So I decided to come up with a line up that would make me really really excited for an opening to closing weekend of non-stop music. I invite you to come up with your own line-ups and post them in the comments section.

Here are the rules of the game:

10 acts per day for 3 days
Only acts that HAVEN'T performed at previous Lollapaloozas between 2005-2008.
You can have band reunions - no matter how unlikely - in your lineup, as long as the members you wish to reunite are still alive!

You can check out my answers below the break, but try coming up with your own lineups before peeking at mine. Post your responses in the comments!

1 Flight of the Conchords
2 Kashmir
3 Mew
