Actual dates have yet to be announced, however 311 and company are already confirmed for Rothbury and Summer Sonic.

Lollapalooza might also be on the way. Well, it at least appears that way from the hint Etty Farrell, Perry’s wife, dropped last January in an interview with PerryFarrell.net.

Mike: I guess I can ask you this. I know nothings been announced yet other than the dates. Is there anything that you can share with me as far as possible bands for Lolla at this point?

Etty: We have a lot of close to confirmations but nothing 100% confirmed.

Mike: OK.

Etty: So I don’t want to throw it out there in case it doesn’t work out. But I can tell you that there will be a lot more Hip Hop.

Mike: OK.

Etty: I could give you a hint. Somebody that we almost 100% will have is a Hip Hop artist that has a reality show right now.

Mike: Hum?

Etty: You’re like which one? (Laughing)

Mike: (Laughing) I know. I gotta think on that one. I don’t think I’ll be able to guess it.

Etty: It’s a little (inaudible) he has a reality show I think on E.

Mike: OK.

Etty: And he’s done well in the past.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough…
