Grammy-award winning artists Kanye West and Gnarls Barkley are set to headline this year's Lollapalooza music festival in Texas on August 1-3.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, West and Barkley will join rock giants Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, The Raconteurs and Wilco as headliners on the main stage at the Austin, Texas weekend-long music festival. Although, the official announcements of the acts are not scheduled to release until Monday (April 7), industry sources have confirmed the star-studded lineup.

This year's concert will mark the second appearance for the Louis Vutton Don, along with Wilco and the Raconteurs. With more than 100 acts on the bill, including Gnarls Barkley, Chicago rap upstarts Kid Sister and the Cool Kids will also make another trip, having performed at Chi-town's two independently produced music festivals.

Advance three-day passes are now available for a limited time price of $190 (prices will increase to $205) at www.lollapalooza.com.

In related news, Mr. West recently launched his new travel website, KanyeTravel.com, this week. The multi-platinum producer's new venture will offer quality low airfares, hotels and rental cars without service or membership fees.
