BMI to Present Stars of 2012 Lollapalooza Stage, 8/3 -5

Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI), the U.S. performing right organization that represents over 500,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers, is proud to present the performers on its 2012 Lollapalooza stage. Running August 3, 4, & 5 at Grant Park's Hutchinson Field in Chicago, IL, BMI's stage will kick off performances at 12:00 p.m. each day, setting the pace at the behemoth music festival.

Festival-goers seeking rising stars and a bucolic respite from the Chicago heat flock to the BMI Lollapalooza stage, known for emitting soul-infected sounds, acoustic balladry, and pop-rock rhapsodies from a slew of singer/songwriting acts. Performers on this year's BMI stage range from the moody melodies of Ambassadors to the sassy swagger of Dev; the budding rock iconoclasts The Sheepdogs; and the expressiveness of siren Yuna. The lineup will provide a blend of sounds, reflecting Lollapalooza's wide-ranging approach in offering attendees performances that are unique and remarkable.

BMI has partnered with recognition-and-discovery company in8 Mobile to offer music enthusiasts an opportunity to win tickets to Lollapalooza and gain exclusive access to the BMI-sponsored stage. Beginning July 5, BMI will release details via Twitter hashtag #BMIlollaStage and http://www.bmi.com/lollapalooza about the contests.
