Summer is our favorite season. The days are longer, the nights are warmer, and there are plenty of concerts to enjoy! One of our favorites is Lollapallooza, an annual music festival that was founded by Jane's Addiction frontman, Perry Farrell in 1997.

Over the years, Lollapallooza has featured a wide range of bands, and has helped popularize Alt-Rock bands such as The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

We're definitely looking forward to Lollapallooza 2010, and a certain rumor has us feeling giddier than schoolgirls. Sources are reporting that Lady Gaga is in negotiations to perform as one of the headlining acts at Lollapallooza! Lady Gaga!! We can't wait to discover the final lineup, and find out if Lady Gaga will be taking the stage in Chicago this August!

For More information on Lollapallooza, check out the official Lollapallooza website.
