Lollapalooza Teases Us With Hangman-Style Reveal Of 2010 Lineup
Well, this is pretty obnoxious. Lollapalooza revealed the "O"s in each of the bands scheduled to appear this year, which is supposed to come off like a fun Wheel Of Fortune game but is really just a way to get extra publicity for an overpriced and over-crowded festival. I think I see the Dodos, maybe. Stereogum claims to have found Bon Iver. Believe it or not, knowing just a single vowel of the 100-plus performers and DJs get you far. But it does get Lollapalooza's name in the news. So good job, Perry.
Lollapalooza is taking place Aug. 6-8 in Chicago's Grant Park. Passes for all three days are now for sale, at a cost of $190. Check the website to play the guessing game and get other info.
And if you think you have any good guesses as to what the line-up might look like based on what we know so far, please let us know in the comments below.

Found SPOON.
Good one. I found a spot where ChrOmeO would fit.
Headliners should look like this based on that: Soundgarden/Green Day (or perhaps Pearl Jam)/Lady Gaga/Arcade Fire/The Strokes/Phoenix
Nice, Nick! I cosign on The Strokes and Phoenix.
Found EDWARD SHARPE & THE MAGNETIC ZEROS.
Found The Soft Pack, I think.
Found one that could be Daft Punk, but more likely Girl Talk. 4-4 with no "O"s could probably be lots of bands.
Matt & Kim
Possibly RJD2 spinning at perry's.
Some more rumored bands that fit in: Hot Chip, Cut Copy, Dirty Projectors, and The XX, in the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th rows, respectively. Psyched about Strokes and Phoenix. Pissed at every band that doesn't have an O in its name.
I can't believe I missed the XX, I even scanned for them. Good finds, Brian!
You guys are good. I wish we had a form we could fill out, crossword-style. Pill, can you whip one up?
arcade fire + strokes + phoenix + spoon? my head might explode.
Letter R update: The New Pornographers, Gogol Bordello
Found Rogue wave. Can't WAIT for Spoon!
Shelley
Nick: looks like Green Day instead of Pearl Jam.
I was wrong about RJD2 and Girl Talk/Daft Punk, apparently.
Letter I update: Social Distortion, The National, Slightly Stoopid
Ohhhh I can't wait. I love you Lollapalooza.
Thanks for the updates, Brian.
