Like many a festivalgoer before them, attendees of this year's Lollapalooza will face a delicious conundrum: how to navigate a sea of sonic delight, with 130 bands set to play on eight stages over three days in early August.

The Perry Farrell-founded music fest, set for August 4-6 in Chicago's Grant Park, has linked up with Sony to give PSP users access to a wide range of Lollapalooza content, including wallpapers, artist bios, song snippets, and--best of all--a downloadable program guide.

This year's Lollapalooza boasts one of its most diverse lineups in years, including the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Jack White's Raconteurs, Wilco, the Flaming Lips, Gnarls Barkley, Common, Queens of the Stone Age, The Shins, and the Violent Femmes.

The first batch of content, including several trailers, wallpapers, and an interview with Farrell, is available at the Sony PSP site now. In the coming weeks, the site will add artist schedules for all eight stages and a venue map.

There will also be a handful of contests going on at the event that attendees can sign up for using their PSP.

And if you haven't yet decided if you're going to the event, Sony is also holding a PlayStation-Palooza Fever sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip for two to the show as well as a PSP loaded with Lollapalooza content and some games.
