Lollapalooza organizers revealed the 2009 Lollapalooza lineup scheduled to appear at the festival Aug. 7-9 in Chicago's Grant Park. Headliners include Depeche Mode, Tool, the Killers, Jane’s Addiction, Beastie Boys and Kings of Leon.

It looks like the economy has not affected ticket sales. According to Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell, who will headline the festival with Jane's Addiction, ticket sales are doing great.

"At Lollapalooza, we're selling more tickets than ever," Farrell told Reuters. "People need an even bigger excuse to escape more than ever and there is no better escape than going to a festival and just tripping and taking in music."
