Matisyahu, Manu Chao to Perform at Lollapalooza

Sunday March 26, 2006
While Lollapalooza is mostly known for presenting indie and alt-rock, in the last few years, they've discovered the "bankability" of the jamband and world-rock scenes. This year, among the prestigious lineup is Jewish Reggae rapper Matisyahu, as well as an extremely rare U.S. performance by world music superstar Manu Chao.

Other artists on the lineup include The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Blues Traveler, Nickel Creek.... and about four dozen more.

This year's festival will take place in Chicago's Grant Park on August 4-6.
