Chicago's Lollapalooza 2013 schedule / line-up

Lollapalooza presented festivalgoers with some difficult choices Tuesday when it announced its hour-by-hour schedule for the three-day, sold-out festival. Two headliners a day will play simultaneously at opposite ends of Grant Park: Nine Inch Nails and the Killers on Aug. 2, the Postal Service and Mumford & Sons on Aug. 3, and Phoenix and the Cure on Aug. 4.

In addition, the dance-music-intensive Perry’s stage will continue its recent tradition of presenting top DJs or electronic artists opposite the headlining acts to further spread out some of the massive crowds. Closing sets at Perry’s will include Steve Aoki on Aug. 2, Steve Agnello on Aug. 3 and Knife Party on Aug. 4.

Nine stages (including a “Kidz” stage) will host more than 130 performers and pack in more than 10 hours of music daily. So which day offers the best musical value?
