The music: The granddaddy of alternative music festivals returns to Chicago's Grant Park, having aged quite well. The lineup here is truly stunning in its diversity and depth, with a perfectly calibrated sampling of all the facets of the modern-rock world. Living deities such as Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails sidle up next to indie kings such as Broken Social Scene and Stephen Malkmus. 1980s legends Love and Rockets share the bill with cooler-than-thou chanteuse Cat Power. And rap superstars Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco bring the hip-hop thunder. In addition, approximately 20 other bands round out the roster.
