CHICAGO — Lollapalooza may turn into Gaga-Palooza this summer.
The Daily Swarm music Web site reported Tuesday morning that Lady Gaga will be headlining the summer music festival in Grant Park, which runs from Aug. 6 to Aug. 8.
Green Day and a reunited Soundgarden will also headline the festival this year, The Daily Swarm says.
The Web site attributed the rumors to “multiple industry sources.” Several other Web sites have quoted the Daily Swarm rumor since.
If the rumors are correct, it will be Lady Gaga’s second appearance at Lollapalooza.
She also made an appearance in 2007, before her rise to fame, playing a daylight set while wearing a bikini and fishnet stockings, and with brown hair.
But this time, The Daily Swarm reported her performance will make a far bigger splash.
“Lady Gaga will bring the new, arena-sized version of her Monster’s Ball tour – which is set to kick-off in Manchester, England, later this week,” the Web site reported.
The Daily Swarm said “the biggest question” about this year’s Lollapalooza is whether Arcade Fire will return to reprise their performance at the first Chicago weekend Lollapalooza festival in 2005.
Lollapalooza began as an itinerant festival, first from 1991 through 1998, then in 2003, when Jane’s Addiction headlined a 30-city tour.
Lollapalooza was canceled in 2004, but emerged in 2005 as a destination festival in Chicago, which it has been ever since.
The festival draws hundreds of thousands of people each year.
