Lollapalooza organizers unveil tour itinerary
Dates and venues have been nailed down for Lollapalooza 's comeback outing, which features Jane's Addiction , Audioslave , Incubus , Queens of the Stone Age , Jurassic 5 and newly added act the Donnas.
The tour kicks off on July 3, and is scheduled to make more than 30 stops at amphitheatres and other outdoor venues throughout the U.S.
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, is warming up for the run with its current spring club tour. The group's members are no strangers to Lollapalooza; 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.
Incubus' most-recent release is 2001's "Morning View," QOTSA are supporting last August's "Songs for the Deaf," and Jurassic 5 is backing last October's "Power in Numbers." The Donnas--who were added to the Lollapalooza bill late last month--are pushing last October's "Spend the Night."
The first Lollapalooza 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.
