Jane's Addiction, Audioslave, Incubus resurrect Lollapalooza
After a five-year hiatus, the popular '90s-era festival tour known as Lollapalooza will return to the road this summer with founding act Jane's Addiction atop the bill.
Also confirmed for the tour's first new-millennium edition are Audioslave , Incubus , Queens of the Stone Age and Jurassic 5. Additional acts will be named in the coming weeks, according to organizers.
Dates and venues have not yet been announced, but organizers have released a preliminary list of cities where the outing will touch down (see below).
Mothballed since 1997, Lollapalooza is returning after several false starts in recent years. In late 2001, Jane's frontman and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell announced that the outing would take place in the summer of 2002, but then said last spring that he was pushing it off until this year.
Jane's Addiction, which embarked on a reunion tour in 2001, is expected to release a new studio album titled "Hypersonic" this summer, which will be the group's first collection of new material since 1990's "Ritual de lo Habitual."
Audioslave, which released its self-titled debut last November, will warm up for the run with its spring club tour. The group's members are no strangers to the Lollapalooza outing; singer Chris Cornell graced the stage with Soundgarden during the tour's 1992 and 1996 incarnations, while former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk are alumni from the tour's 1993 class.
The first Lollapalooza outing took place in 1991 and featured Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails, Ice T/Body Count and Living Colour, among others. Subsequent outings featured Pearl Jam, the Red Hot Chili Peppers Alice in Chains, Primus, Metallica, Ministry, Korn, Tool and others.
