Why not? Greg Kot sez Depeche Mode, Beastie Boys, and (not at all surprising) Jane's Addiction to headline this year. Nostalgiafest '09 anyone?

i must say, i am shocked if they are going to start banking on the halcyon days of alternative rock from the 1980s and 1990s to sell tickets, who ever would have thought

And fuck those who hate Depeche. I would say that, though.

i have no feelings about depeche or jane's addiction but im pretty sure lolla's demo is 16-30 and if those are the headliners they pale in comparison in terms of relevance to that demo to radiohead, kanye and daft punk and even RATM probably

Seems to indicate that the demographic will be all the people of appropriate age who won't be attending this
