CHICAGO, Illinois --
The line-up for a revived 2009 Lollapalooza mega-concert tour has been announced.

Festival founder and Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell said he is thrilled to return to the Lollapalooza stage alongside friends old and new.
“The mighty Jane’s Addiction returns to Lolla after 18 years — meeting up with our pals The Beastie Boys and Depeche Mode, offering the best of the freshies The Killers and Kings of Leon, and paying honor to one of our greatest inspirations, Lou Reed,” Perry said in a statement released to Access Hollywood.
