The Grammy-nominated DJ and producer has seen the headlines proclaiming the beginning of the end of the electronic dance music craze, but heâ€™s not buying it. â€œI don't think that at all, obviously. I'm busier than I ever have been and I think, really, we just kind of scratched the surface,â€ he said in a recent interview. (Photo by Rich Fury/Invision/AP) Associated Press file photo

North Shore blood runs strong in the veins of this summer's Lollapalooza lineup, announced earlier this week.

Headed by a fan-pleasingly eclectic mix of mainstagers, the massive music festival is ready to roll into Grant Park Thursday through Sunday, July 28-31, with headliners Metallica, Dua Lipa, J. Cole, Green Day, Doja Cat, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Baby and Kygo leading the charge.

The Chicago scene is well-repped this year, with fellow Northbrook natives Kaskade (GBN '89) and JORDY (GBN '13), Deerfield's Alexander 23, Beach Bunny, 100 gecs, John Summit, Horsegirl and Jackie Hayes on the lineup.

The more than 170 acts featured on the lineup also include Jane's Addiction, Glass Animals, Billy Strings, Big Sean, Charli XCX, Manchester Orchestra, Dashboard Confessional, The Wombats, Royal Blood and many others set to play across nine stages in the park.

The family-friendly Kidzapalooza returns with activities, dance workshops and loads of performances for younger music fans. And, of course, Chicago food will be heavily featured in the concession areas.
