Chicago Heat

While TCB was sleeping off Wednesday’s Blender party featuring Echo & the Bunnymen, local event emperors Charles Attal Management and Capital Sports & Entertainment announced the lineup for Austin City Limits North, or as they insist on calling it, Lollapalooza. Scheduled Aug. 4-6 in Chicago’s Grant Park, topping the bill are Lolla vets the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chi-town’s own Wilco and Kanye West, and a rare U.S. visit from Paris-born Manu Chao. Also playing are Austin’s What Made Milwaukee Famous, expected to finalize a deal with Seattle-based Barsuk Records on Thursday; fellow Emo’s regulars Sound Team; and Texans Reverend Horton Heat and Blue October.
