[pullquote quote="My work here is done. Good game, Perry Farrell." credit="@LollaLeaks"]The twitterverse is buzzing about the summer festival circuit. This morning, we had official confirmation about the lineup for Bonnaroo 2012.

Now the same account that blew the cover on Lolla last year has spilled the beans about this summer’s artists — or at least that’s what they’re saying…

Lolla Leaks (@LollaLeaks) February 11, 2012

Other acts include Skrillex in a set with Korn, Noisia, Bassnecter, M.I.A., Calvin Harris, Flux Pavilion, Wax, Mord Fustang, and Knife Party, The Shins, M83, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Gotye, St. Vincent, Surfer Blood, Kimbra, Real Estate, Crosses, Sleigh Bells, Bombay Bicycle Club, Antlers, Passion Pit, OFWGKTA, Wale, At The Drive In, Garbage, Missy Elliot, Gaslight Anthem, Guided By Voices and others.

Will this be what’s in store for Grant Park? We shall see. For my money, I’d wait for an official announcement from Lollapalooza.com and Perry Farrell.

NO! Folks, Lolla line up has not been finalized. He's a fraud rt @ZSpang: @danpursel I was skeptical. Are the lineup rumors true?—
