It looks like Lollapalooza 2004 has bit the dust just 3 weeks before the touring festival got underway…
LOLLAPALOOZA, 2004 CANCELS ALL DATES
You can imagine the dismay I share at this moment with the artists and musicians who were looking forward to the tour. Lollapalooza could no longer see fit to continue this year. Our plight is a true indication of the general health of the touring industry and it is across musical genres. Unexhausted is our virtue. We are taking Lollapalooza back and plan on rebuilding and recreating the festival in surroundings more conducive to the cultural experience we’ve become known for.

Shame, it looked like a nice line up over the two days too. I was thinking of going to the shows at Turner Field in August aswell as I’d like to see Modest Mouse, Gomez, Flaming Lips, Polyphonic Spree, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Sonic Youth to name a few. And a two day pass for $50 was a downright steal in terms of todays concert prices.
