It's scoop. Our VJ and reporter sent to BR Lollapalooza, which takes place at the Jockey Club in Sao Paulo this weekend, had access to a copy of the line-up of the North American version of the festival. The squad will only be disclosed to the world press on Wednesday (11).

Among the original Lollapalooza headliners the Red Hot Chili Peppers are the newly reunited Black Sabbath, Black Keys, the former White Stripes Jack White, the English of Florence and the Machine and the revival of post-hardcore the wayward At The Drive-In. The Brazilian O Rappa also ring at the festival, which takes place between days 3 and 5 August in the city of Chicago.

Just take a look at the shitload of good bands that are on the gringo version of the festival. Click on image to view full size.

A Halien "Woodstock"?

Time to break out our Haleyloonies' "Red Lipstick Massacre" T-Shirts?

Sucks many tickets sold out before official announcement ...although $230? That's pretty expensive, but it's for the whole she-bang I guess...

You need to get the other musicians on the bill to wear the shirts while they're on stage performing.

I designed it to be seen from a distance...I thought it would be cute for her to be on stage, and we would all have her image on our shirts....She would see and appreciate that for sure LOL

Have to figure out if we want "Red Lipstick Massacre" on the front or back, and in what font...

($230 pretty pricey for most, especially if they just want to see Haley)

Lollapalooza tickets in 2011 were $90 for a single day and $215 for a three-day pass to see more than 130 bands and artists on eight stages. The Lollapalooza lineup and ticket prices for this year are expected to be announced April 9.

I shelled out $230 this morning on a three-day pass to Lollapalooza, without even knowing who will be performing. I was aiming for the $200 early bird pass, but that sold out in 20 minutes.

Too much money for me

Haley's been confirmed to be there!

The 2012 Lollapalooza lineup to be announced Wednesday reaffirms that the culture of DJs and electronic artists is catching up with rock as a live attraction on the lucrative summer festival circuit.

Two of the rock headliners for the Aug. 3-5 festival in Grant Park -- the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a reunited Black Sabbath – have a retro feel. Also playing closing slots on the main stages will be the Black Keys and Jack White, two acts that update classic, guitar-based blues and rock from the ‘60s and ‘70s.

Nostalgia remains a big theme on the rock side of the Lolla spectrum. Besides the Sabbath set, which (according to C3) includes original members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, two other notable reunions are being staged: Texas avant-punk group At the Drive In, which broke up in 2001, and the Afghan Whigs, the Greg Dulli-led Cincinnati band that also imploded in 2001.

Think you’ve seen and heard some of this lineup before? You have. The Chili Peppers return to headline Lollapalooza for the third time, having done it previously in 1992 and 2006. Also making at least their second visits to the festival are the Black Keys, Jack White (who appeared previously with the Raconteurs), Miike Snow, Bloc Party, the Temper Trap and Delta Spirit.

Only a smattering of world-music acts are represented, including Brazil’s O Rappa, Chile’s Los Jaivas and Mali’s Amadou & Mariam. You’ll also have to dig pretty deep to find hip-hop, represented by Childish Gambino, Doomtree and Macklemore & Lewis.

In its early years during the ‘90s, the festival became a stepping stone for a large number of cutting-edge rock acts toward wider recognition. That role has diminished in recent years as Lollapalooza has reinvented itself as more of a mainstream festival for rock, while the electronic component has restored some of its youthful vitality.

This year’s lineup boasts at least a dozen up-and-comers aiming to broaden their audience. These include Canadian artist the Weeknd, alternative R&B vocalist Frank Ocean, British folk-soul singer Michael Kiwanuka, blues guitarist Gary Clark Jr., soul-rockers Alabama Shakes, Merrill Garbus and her band Tune-Yards, and singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten.

Also on the bill: Florence + the Machine, Passion Pit, the Shins, Sigur Ros, Fun., M83, Franz Ferdinand, Metric, Dawes, the Temper Trap, Die Antwoord, Mona, the Growlers, the Gaslight Anthem, Hey Rosetta!, JEFF the Brotherhood, Band of Skulls, Anamanaguchi, SBTRKT, First Aid Kit, Tame Impala, Wax, the Walkmen, FIDLAR, JJ Grey & Mofro, LP, JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound.

Milo Greene, Neon Indian, Dum Dum Girls, Kopecky Family Band, Washed Out, the Jezabels, Aloe Blacc, Trampled by Turtles, Yuna, Bear in Heaven, Walk Off the Earth, Blind Pilot, Animal Kingdom, Chairlift, Dev, J. Cole, the Black Angels, the Sheepdogs, Yellow Ostrich, the Dunwells, GIVERS, DJ Mel, Polica, Empires, Bombay Bicycle Club, Kevin Devine, Wale.

Dry the River, White Rabbits, Helena, Haley Reinhart, Imaginary Cities, the Head & the Heart, the Devil Makes Three, Overdoz, the Big Pink, Oberhofer, Ambassadors, Twin Shadow, the War on Drugs, DJ Zebo, the Tallest Man on Earth, Chancellor Warhol, Toro Y Moi, O Rappa, Laura Warshauer, Dr. Dog, Bowerbirds, Red Oblivion, Of Monsters and Men, Orchard Lounge.

Unfortunately, even though she'll be so close to me I probably can't go I heard the tickets are REALLY EXPENSIVE and I cant afford it right now. Maybe if they have a 1-day thing then maybe I can try. I'll do the research

---

Ok I just read in the article that they will be selling single day tickets and I have a good chance of getting a job soon so if I can afford it and find someone to go w/ me then I can probably go

---

And if not then I'm sure there will be other times for me to see her so its ok if it doesnt work out I'm just grateful that we both live in Chicago subarbs so that makes it alot easier for me. Sorry for all my rambling tonight

I'm probably going to see what day she goes to see that, I barely had the stamina for a one day festival let alone a 3 day one, even when I was young, it's $1700 3 hotel days and round trip for me, and that's before tickets LOL. Much cheaper to go one for one day ...

Looking forward to it though

My mom said we cant go That's ok, I'll see her some other time!
