Alright Lolla-lovers...the full schedule & lineup for Lollapalooza 2013 has been announced, complete with each of the three day's set times for Chicago's talent-packed, sold-out music festival taking place August 2nd through August 4th at Grant Park.

While EDC NYC only announced their complete schedule a week before this weekend's EDM festival, Lollapalooza has given fans nearly four months notice to plan out their personal Lolla experience. Let the daunting task of picking & choosing which artists you would rather see that weekend begin...

As Chicago Tribune notes, Lollapalooza will feature eight stages (including a "Kidz" stage) that will host more than 130 performers and pack in more than 10 hours of music daily. This year's headliners include Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Nine Inch Nails, and the Killers, but it may be nearly impossible to see each of these bands perform Lollapalooza weekend.

On Friday (August 2nd) going head-to-head and performing at the same time (around 8pm-10pm) will be Nine Inch Nails and the Killers. As if this toss up isn't already difficult enough, DJ Steve Aoki will be causing even more "turbulence" by closing out Friday night during this same time slot at the Perry Stage, while "Young & Beautiful" songstress Lana Del Ray will be singing at the Grove.

Other Friday scheduling conflicts include Band of Horses vs. Crystal Castles and Queens of the Stone Age, New Order, Disclosure, and Chance the Rapper overlaps.

Once you've figured out the Friday fiasco, Saturday also presents some schedule struggles. Would you rather hear "Such Great Heights" from recently reunited The Postal Service or Grammy-winning "I Will Wait" from Mumford & Sons? Steve Angello will also be spinning and Azelia Banks rapping during the final time slot of the day as well.

Other Saturday face-off's include Kendrick Lamar vs. Dada Life vs. The Lumineers vs. Death Grips in the time slot before 8pm. For those favoring one genre preference, the decision may seem easy, but for more eclectic music lovers who appreciate EDM, Rock, and Hip-Hop, the choice is definitely harder.

If you make it to Sunday in one piece, Lolla-goers last major "would you rather see" dilemma features The Cure or Phoenix? Other options during that time are Cat Power and Knife Party. In addition, Vampire Weekend will also be playing opposite of Beach House and Major Lazer on the final day of Lollapalooza 2013 (August 4th).

Check out the entire schedule on the Lollapalooza website.

Don't worry, you still have plenty of time to make your decisions, but it's never too soon to start prioritizing for this summer's most epic festival!
