Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Deadmau5 and A Perfect Circle will join previously reported headliners Eminem, Foo Fighters and Muse at Lollapalooza on Aug. 5-7 in Grant Park, the festival will announce Tuesday.

Also among the artists to be announced by Texas-based promoters C3 Presents are Cee Lo Green, Damian Marley with Nas, the Cars, Ween, Bright Eyes, Big Audio Dynamite, Girl Talk, Titus Andronicus, Deftones, Kid Cudi, Sleigh Bells and Arctic Monkeys.

The seventh annual festival will again feature more than 130 performers on eight stages.

As usual, the festival has only a smattering of hip-hop and world-music artists, though a handful of Chilean bands – Chico Trujillo, Los Bunkers and Ana Tijoux – have been booked as part of a cultural exchange with Lollapalooza Chile, which debuted April 2-3 in Santiago.

Lollapalooza 2011 to expand DJ stage

Lollapalooza will double the size of a stage devoted to DJs and electronic music at this year’s festival Aug 5-7 in Grant Park.

The plans were revealed in an interview with Charlie Jones, one of the partners of Texas-based promoters C3 Presents, who said the electronic-music area has proven to be the fastest growing musical attraction at the festival since Lollapalooza’s 2005 debut in Grant Park.

To accommodate the growth, the Perry’s Place stage will be moved to a softball field west of Columbus Avenue on the festival’s southern end across from Hutchinson Field, where the main stage is located. The tented Perry’s stage will be designed to accommodate more than 15,000 fans, double the size of last year’s location farther north.

The lineup for the festival will be announced Tuesday, but the Tribune has reported that Girl Talk has been booked for Lollapalooza, a likely headliner for the Perry’s Stage.

Lollapalooza 2011 sells out 'early-bird' discount tickets

Though it hasn’t even announced its lineup yet, Lollapalooza remains a hot ticket. Promoters said Tuesday that so-called “early bird” tickets – a $185 three-day pass for the festival Aug. 5-7 in Grant Park – sold out in about an hour, and now only $215 three-day passes remain on its Web site, lollapalooza.com.

The price for the three-day passes is the same as last year. Headliners haven’t been announced, but the Tribune has confirmed that Eminem, the Foo Fighters and Muse will be among those named when the lineup is officially announced April 26.

Capacity for the festival was bumped to 95,000 last year and acreage was increased to accommodate a bigger audience after the festival sold out two previous years.

Lollapalooza headliners to include Eminem, Muse, Foo Fighters

PX00125_9 Eminem, Muse and Foo Fighters will be among the headliners for Lollapalooza when it returns Aug. 5-7 to Grant Park.

Reliable industry sources confirmed the bookings Tuesday. Lollapalooza promoters C3 Presents had no comment, but the Eminem booking is a coup. The hip-hop artist is expected to win his first album-of-the-year prize at next Sunday’s Grammy Awards for his latest album, “Recovery,” the best-selling album of 2010.

The Foo Fighters — fronted by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl — are returning with their seventh studio album in April, the band’s first set of new material in nearly four years. Muse will be playing a few festival shows while readying its next album this summer; the U.K. band scored its first major U.S. hit with its 2009 release, “The Resistance.”

Also expected to play Lollapalooza, according to several industry sources: Best Coast, Girl Talk, Crystal Castles and Lykke Li. At least three more headliners will join Eminem, Muse and Foo Fighters.

The complete Lollapalooza lineup is expected to be officially released in April.

Lollapalooza expands to Chile in 2011

    Lollapalooza, a fixture in Grant Park since 2005, will expand next year to Santiago, Chile, promoters will announce Friday.

    Lollapalooza’s promoters, Texas-based C3 Presents and the William Morris Agency, have been exploring additional locations worldwide for several years. Santiago was chosen because it boasts a similar urban setting to the Chicago festival, with easy access to hotels, restaurants and clubs. The festival will be held April 2-3, 2011, at O’Higgins Park, with capacity of 100,000 people a day, promoters say.

    A partnership was struck with Chilean promoter Sebastian De La Barra of Lotus Producciones, with the aim of fostering a “musical foreign exchange” between the two festivals, said Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell in a statement.

       “Local talent is essential to rounding out the experience of a Lollapalooza,” Farrell said. Some of the Chilean artists booked for the Santiago festival will also be invited to next year’s Chicago Lollapalooza, he said.

    It will mark the first foreign location for Lollapalooza since it was born in 1991 as a traveling festival that provided a showcase for alternative-rock artists. It was transformed into a destination festival based in Chicago in 2005, and has drawn 225,000 or more people in each of the last several years to Grant Park.

    The headliners for Lollapalooza Chile will be announced at a later date.
