Eminem, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Muse will help Lollapalooza celebrate its 20th anniversary this year as they headline the three-day festival, taking place once again in Chicago’s Grant Park. Rumors that Eminem would lead the lineup began to roll out in February, but the star-studded lineup wasn’t made official until earlier this morning.
Eminem will also prepare for his Lolla stint with a headlining slot at Bonnaroo festival, which takes place June 9-12 in Manchester, Tenn.
Coldplay is the only “surprise” on Lolla’s list. Chris Martin and Co. are set to rock out Glastonbury this year and are gearing up to release their fifth album.
