DonnaWanna Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 The Red Hot Chili Peppers are on tap to headline Lollapalooza in Grant Park this summer, it was disclosed Tuesday. Chili Peppers bassist Flea told MTV News that the multimillion-selling Southern California funk-punk quartet had agreed in principle to play the three-day festival, which returns to the Chicago lakefront for the second year in a row Aug. 4-6. The concert would follow up the band's first studio release in four years, the 25-track double album "Stadium Arcadium," due out May 9. It would also mark their first Lollapalooza appearance since 1992, when they first became arena stars. The festival's executive producer, Charlie Jones of Texas-based Capital Sports & Entertainment and Charles Attal Presents, said Flea's announcement wasn't authorized, but he didn't deny its authenticity. "If it came from anybody else, I might get upset," he said of the flamboyant Flea. "But you can't." Asked if the Chili Peppers would headline more than one night, he replied, "We're saving that [information] for later." A lineup expected to include as many as 130 artists performing on eight stages spanning Hutchinson and Butler fields in Grant Park is to be announced next month, Jones said.
