Lollapalooza has announced an initial list of confirmed acts for the 2006 festival to be held at Chicago's Grant Park. This a pretty diverse line-up thus far and I for one am going to try everything in my power to make it out there.

Line-up:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Kanye West
Manu Chao
Wilco
Death Cab For Cutie
The Raconteurs
The Flaming Lips
Ween
Queens of the Stone Age
The Shins
Common
Matisyahu
Ryan Adams
Umphrey's McGee
Sonic Youth
Thievery Corporation
Sleater-Kinney
Nickel Creek
Blues Traveler
Broken Social Scene
The New Pornographers
Iron & Wine
Poi Dog Pondering
The Secret Machines
Eels
Panic! At the Disco
The Disco Biscuits
Reverend Horton Heat
The Smoking Popes
Andrew Bird
Gnarls Barkley
Stars

Blackalicious

This list only includes about half of the number promised, so there will definitely be more acts to be announced. The list was presented at a press conference during the SXSW Music Festival.
