Sweet home, Meadville

Crawford County Fair officials announced Thursday that Lynryd Skynyrd will perform at the fair on Aug. 22.

Tickets, priced at $35 for racetrack reserved and $30 grandstand, will go on sale April 30 at noon at www.crawfordcountyfair.net and by phone at (800) 585-3737.

Skynyrd's classic Southern-rock should be a good fit for Crawford Fair, which already has shows with Trace Adkins and Gary Allan (Aug. 21) and Sugarland with the Wreckers (Aug. 23). A Christian rock show will be announced later.


Skynryd was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

Chicago's Lollapalooza, set for Aug. 3-5 in Grant Park, disclosed its lineup on Thursday. While not super-heavy on superstar talent, it sure features plenty of alternative heroes.

The lineup includes Pearl Jam as headliner, plus Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Modest Mouse, Daft Punk, Ben Harper, Snow Patrol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Muse, My Morning Jacket, the Roots, Patti Smith, Kings of Leon, Satellite Party, Black Keys, TV on the Radio, Regina Spektor, Pete Yorn, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Son Volt, G. Love and Special Sauce, Hold Steady, Amy Winehouse, Yo La Tengo, cult hero Roky Erickson, the Wailers, Silversun Pickups, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and many more. The total amount of artists: 130.

Tickets are $195, flat, which includes all fees. Yeah, that sounds like a lot but when you figure many clubs shows for acts of this caliber are $15 to $30, it's really not bad. Lollapalooza features 9 stages, in all. See www.lollapalooza.com for details.

British song stylist Lily Allen, earning raves for her debut, "Alright, Still," will play Cleveland's House of Blues on June 4.
