Lollapalooza

With headliners like Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, Kanye West and Gnarls Barkley, Lollapalooza 2008 is destined to be one of the best music festivals of the summer. From August 1st through the 3rd, 120 bands will rock seven stages in Grant Park, Chicago. Boasting mainstream and underground artists from genres as disparate as hip-hop and electronica, Lollapalooza has it all. Unlike many summer festivals, there are no campgrounds, but that doesn't stop the hordes of fans from coming each year. Given the urban location of the festival, there are tons of hotels in the area, allowing fans to check out the Windy City while enjoying some of the best acts of the summer. Although the early bird tickets are already sold out, you can still buy a three-day advance pass for $190. And even better, if you're still slightly prepubescent, vertically challenged and could pass for an 11-year-old, you can get in free.
