Can't make it to Grant Park in Chicago for Lollapalooza 2007? Not a problem, because both Sirius and XM Satellite Radio have got you covered.
On XM, join Ethel (ch 47) for three days of live music direct from Lollapalooza. As one of the biggest music festivals around, over 150,000 fans will gather for an eclectic mix of music spanning alternative rock, pop, indie, and funk. And Ethel will bring the concerts to you with live broadcasts throughout the weekend.
Sirius Satellite Radio's Left of Center (ch 26) will also be bringing you live coverage from Lollapalooza. Pappy, joined by Alt Nation's Madison, will be on deck bringing interviews with artists, concert reviews, and all of the latest up-to-date information from Lollapalooza 2007. Left of Center will also spend the entire weekend highlighting the bands playing at the summer-time festival.
XM's coverage kicks off tomorrow, August 3rd at 7pm ET; then again on Saturday, August 4th at 3:30pm ET; and Sunday, August 5th at 1pm ET (Pearl Jam is live at 9pm ET on Sunday).

Check out the full festival lineup on the Lollapalooza website. Bands scheduled to appear include Pearl Jam, Daft Punk, Satellite Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Spoon and more.
Hey Ryan,

Fri., August 3 | broadcast begins at 7PM ET
Sat., August 4 | broadcast begins at 3:30PM ET
Sun., August 5 | broadcast begins at 1PM ET;
Pearl Jam is Live at 9PM ET
Just had an idea that might be pretty cool for sirius to explore. With the backseat video, down the line if they ever get a compression or figure out a way to manage bandwidth, they could charge individuals (or even make it apart of the service)...deliver these live concerts and events to future handhelds and backseat products. Allow the user to stream it live as it goes on.
not to mention music videos to go with the music.
Ack, sorry, they must've updated the times on me. I'll fix it, thanks ChrisM.
yea that looks like a ton of fun! lets herd all these people into a bunch of fenced off wooden areas like so many cattle and have them stare endlessly into video screens. im sure they got tons of security to make sure everyone (safely) enjoys their out of control rock show......ahhh i love the rock and roll lifestyle.....i hope everyone there remembers to "drink responsibly" what a crock! drink responsibly.... ive never heard such retarded double speak.....oh wait...i just remembered "military intelligence". gues i will be listening on the radio :(
