The Thrills Sign On For Lollapalooza
Irish rock act the Thrills have signed on for a portion of this summer's Lollapalooza tour, Billboard.com has learned. The group joins a lineup that already includes Morrissey, String Cheese Incident, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Polyphonic Spree, Sonic Youth, Gomez and Le Tigre. The tour kicks off July 14 in Auburn, Wash. As Thrills lead singer Conor Deasy told Billboard.com last month, the group had its pick of several summer touring opportunities. "We had an offer to [join] the No Doubt/Blink 182 thing [in] big arenas that fit many people," he said. "But I still have visions of the frat boy teenager kind of guys throwing beer bottles at us.
The Thrills will be touring in support of their acclaimed Virgin debut, "So Much for the City," which debuted last November at No. 14 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and has sold 82,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
