Remember the first big news story of the year? Well, we finally got an update–SOUNDGARDEN have announced their first tour date, ending their 12-year hiatus with this message on their website:
“We are proud to announce the official launch of Soundgardenworld.com. We will be adding more content in the very near future, so stay tuned. One last thing….Soundgarden will be one of the headliners at this years Lollapalooza festival. We hope to see you all on August 8th at Grant Park, Chicago Illinois.
Ben, Chris, Kim and Matt“
I don't even care that the tickets are pricey (duh) and most of the Lollapa-lineup sucks–(what did you expect?) Soundgarden is back with every member from the classic era, plus the promise of more "in the near future." Pray for a full tour, start taking loans and thank the rest of the band for saving us from another CHRIS CORNELL/TIMBALAND collaboration. Also, remind yourself how much this band rules (man, feels great to not have to write "ruled" anymore) with "Jesus Christ Pose."
