The 2010 Lollapalooza festival is about to begin in Grant Park in the heart of downtown Chicago. Once things get started with These United States (who have the honor of playing the first set of this year's festival), the music won't stop until Soundgarden and Arcade Fire both wave goodnight following their festival-closing sets on Sunday (August 8). Along the way, there will be huge performances care of Lady Gaga, Green Day, Phoenix, the Strokes, the Black Keys, Erykah Badu and dozens of others, and MTV News will be delivering the goods on every last note.
Ever since the first Lollapalooza way back in 1991 (which Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell put together as a farewell tour for his seminal band), the festival has morphed and evolved along with the popular tastes of the day. There has rarely been a better barometer of what's going on in the rock universe than the Lollapalooza lineup,...

With the 2010 edition of Lollapalooza kicking off Friday (August 6), MTV News decided to dive deep into our archives and dig up the greatest/ weirdest/ scariest/ downright rocking-est moments in the fest's rather epic history. We're calling it "Lollapalooza Lookback," and we think it's a pretty fitting tribute to the granddaddy of American music festivals. We've already tackled Pearl Jam's 1992 afternoon set, Nine Inch Nails' stage-trashing heroics from 1991, Ice Cube's "buck wild" goals in '92 and Korn's rather, uh, interesting take on Lolla '97. And to cap things off, we're digging deep, for a chat with a band that's darn-near synonymous with Lollapalooza: Soundgarden.

Kid Rock has agreed to pay three guys ,000 in compensation for the assault lawsuit they filed against him in 2006. The men claimed Rock and three members of the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. hip-hop group attacked them after they asked for autographs.
Michael Medlin, Jose Perez, and Carlos Bonilla alleged that the "All Summer Long" hitmaker and the rap group assaulted them after they asked for autographs in the early morning of March 22, 2006. They were allegedly seriously hurt after the encounter. Their cameras were also stolen by Rock and the Boo-Yaa members.
They sued over wage loss, loss of use of property, hospital and medical expenses, property and general damages, and loss of earning capacity.
Rock, real name Robert Ritchie, denied having anything to do with the trio or the lost of their cameras.

Michael Medlin, who supposedly suffered a knee injury that required surgery, had sued for $5 million, while coplaintiffs Jose Perez and Carlos Bonilla had gone after $2.5 million and $1 million, respectively. Testifying on his own behalf, Rock denied having anything to do with the guys getting beat up or having their cameras stolen after they approached Rock and the Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. for autographs in the early morning hours of March 22, 2006, as the group was leaving the...
