The folks at Lollapalooza have released the schedule for their three day festival.

I actally think they did a very smart thing by putting no bands up against Radiohead. The idea of having the headliners without interference is a smart idea, but I do with they would have done that on the second and third evenings. Now folks have to decide between Nine Inch Nails or Kanye West and Wilco or Rage Against the Machine.

Most conflicts seem to happen between the acts on the two main stages. I don't get why they didn't just alternate time on those stages?!?

And why does Lollapalooza close shop at 10pm? That seems damn early.

Lollapalooza also host a bunch of official afterparties at clubs around the city. Various bill include The Black Keys, Okkerrvil River, Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, Battles, Foals, MGMT and lots more. All show and ticket information can be found after the jump.

Now, here are the big conflicts at the 2008 Lollapalooza Festival:

....Wilco vs Rage Against the Machine
....Kanye West vs Nine Inch Nails
....The Raconteurs vs Bloc Party vs Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks vs CSS vs Cadence Weapon
....Broken Social Scene vs Battles vs Lupe Fiasco
....Girl Talk vs Gnarls Barkley vs Love & Rockers
....The Toadies vs Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings
....Black Lips vs Noah & The Whale
....Flogging Molly vs Saul Williams
....Eli "Paperboy" Reed vs Iron & Wine
....Black Kids vs Chromeo
....Weakethans vs The Whigs
....Go! Team vs Yesayer vs Jeff Tweedy
....MGMT vs DeVotchKa
....The Black Keys vs Gogol Bordello
....The Kills vs Duffy
....Cat Power Vs Grizzly Bear
....The Gutter Twins vs Foals

And the winner is?
