Your band could be one of them

Iron & Wine, Toadies, Saul Williams, DeVotchKa, Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears and Wild Sweet Orange have been added to the bill for Lollapalooza 2008.

They'll join headliners Radiohead, Rage Against The Machine, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails at the annual festival, which is set to take place at Chicago's Grant Park August 1-3, as previously reported.

Lollapalooza has also announced the Last Band Standing competition, which gives bands the chance to earn a slot to play at Perry Farrell's festival.

Bands can now submit a video of themselves for fans to vote on. Online voting will take place May 19-June 29, with a celebrity judging panel weighing in on a later round. For additional information, visit Sonicbids.com/lollapalooza08
