Lollapalooza On TV

Good news for those of you who can't make it to Chicago in August for the always-awesome Lollapalooza festival: Fuse, the cable television music network, is setting up shop at this year's three-day blowout, Aug. 1-3 at Grant Park, to broadcast performances, interviews, and breaking news. Headliners include Radiohead, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails, and Gnarls Barkley.

In other Fuse news, the network is stepping up its original programming, which could mean we're in for some cool music-related reality shows or it could spell disaster. Coming this fall:

“Redemption Song,” where ten down-on-their-luck women vie for a record deal.
“Fuse Excellent Adventure,” where comedian Nate Jackson travels the musical corners of the earth to meet the world’s most interesting, entertaining and devoted music fans.
“Rock Bottom,” which follows rising musical groups as they stage an intervention and give one troubled band member dealing with drug addiction, alcoholism or personality problems a choice – clean up your act or get replaced.
