New acts added to a Lollapalooza... and this year has a "theme"

Lollapalooza promoters C3 Presents have announced the addition of Iron & Wine, Toadies, Saul Williams, DeVotchKa, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears and Wild Sweet Orange to this year’s concert in Grant Park, Aug. 1-3. And, in using the same press blast to hawk a “design a festival T-shirt contest,” they’ve announced that the concert has a theme:

This, of course, is opposed to something puny and pathetic. Or big and bad. Or maybe massive and miserable?

Also announced today: The Rock the Bells tour featuring A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, the Pharcyde, De La Soul, Rakim, Method Man & Redman and, among others, Chicago up-and-comers Kid Sister and the Cool Kids, but the latter two acts will not be performing when the rest of the tour pulls into the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park on July 19. Since they’re playing at Lollapalooza, the radius clause prohibits them from doing another gig in the area for most of the summer.
