Lollapalooza just released a fantastic 2015 lineup, with Paul McCartney and Metallica headlining Grant Park's annual summer party. Florence and the Machine, The Weeknd, Sam Smith, Tyler the Creator, A$AP Rocky, Tame Impala, Death From Above 1979, Hot Chip and TV on the Radio share the bill.

Initially conceived as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction, Lollapalooza instead captured the zeitgeist and became enormously successful. Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction coined the term "Alternative Nation" to describe the kind of vibe that dominated the early years, which were a mash-up of the most tastemaking grunge, alternative rock, rap and punk acts of the time. Today's lineup is eclectic and has something for everyone. You could wander into the fest and find a stage at which to spend your entire day. There's even a Kidzapalooza for the under 13 crowd to enjoy.

The three-day festival takes place July 31- August 2, 2015 at Grant Park in Chicago. Tickets are almost entirely sold out but some single day passes are available here.
