THE NIN HOTLINE

Let's have another rumor, shall we?

Before reading this, I want to stress to you that every rumor about a show in the last three years or so has turned out to be completely and utterly false. That being said, I'm going to post this until I can find out more information about it. Honestly, the probability that it's a bunch of crap is pretty high - most bands don't play Lollapalooza more than once, NIN has already played, back in 1991. So when you tell your friends, tell them that it's probably a load of crap, but that this site will post whether it's legit or not as soon as we know.

John Smith sent news that Jason at Product Shop NYC is reporting as follows:
"It looks like Lollapalooza 2004 is a definite go and a headliner has been confirmed. Trent Reznor, who bowed out of Coachella to finish his new Nine Inch Nails album, is confident the new record will be done and possibly out by July. With that said, he has agreed to the headlining spot on this years Lollapalooza Tour. The Pixies are still be courted as a double headliner for the traveling festival."

Don't get your hopes up, you know better than that.

Just to balance it out, I searched news.google.com which has a report from Xfm Radio, albeit from nearly a month ag ago, that seems a little more down to earth:
Now according to reports the William Morris Agency are finalising the line up and organisational plans. No bands have been named for the tour yet, which last year boasted sets from Jane's Addiction, Queens Of The Stone Age, Incubus, Audioslave, The Donnas and A Perfect Circle.
