YYYs Replace Beastie Boys at Lollapalooza
Well, that was fast! Just over 24 hours after The Beastie Boys announced they will be canceling their summer tour dates, Lollapalooza has announced that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be the replacement band in the Saturday night headliner spot. While I doubt they'll have the draw that the Beastie Boys would bring, as a Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan I'm definitely glad for an upbeat alternative to Tool. No word yet on whether Lolla will be offering refunds to those who purchased one-day Saturday passes with the intention of seeing the Beasties.
