Lollapalooza to return this summer?
Lollapalooza may be returning the road this summer, MTV.com reports.
The festival’s official web site is sparsely adorned with a Lollapalooza 2003 heading, a logo, and the phrase “are you playing with me?”
A source close to the organization has told MTV the committee is in talks with bands and promoters.
The once-annual travelling concert event has been dormant since 1997. It almost re-launched last summer, but was postponed when organizers had trouble securing a quality line-up.
Sources say the organization is looking at possible corporate sponsorship for funds to book this year’s pricey A-list bands.
Co-founded by Jane’s Addiction leader Perry Farrell, Lollapalooza debuted in 1991 and has been a model for other packaged tours like Warped and Ozzfest.
Past line-ups have included Soundgarden, Metallica, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins, Hole, and the Beastie Boys.
