Lollapalooza returns to Chicago’s Grant Park on August 6-8 for its 2010 edition of the longest-running outdoor music festival. It comes complete with the newly reformed Soundgarden, Lady Gaga and Green Day. Other key acts include Arcade Fire, MGMT, The Strokes, Phoenix, The Black Keys, Erykah Badu, Spoon, Hot Chip and the New Pornographers.

Lady Gaga is truly the little engine that could. After putting on stage shows around the world that have left her drained and even at times collapsed on the stage, she’s getting back up and asking for more. Lady Gaga will follow-up her successful North American tour from last fall with a new batch of tour dates upgrading her theater show to arenas.

Taylor Swift wasn’t exactly on her game when performing an offkey disaster with Stevie Nicks at the 2010 Grammys, but it didn’t seem to matter as she went home with the coveted Album of the Year honors for Fearless. At the ripe old age of 20, she becomes the youngest artist to win the award and the best part is she didn’t have to contend with Kanye West storming the stage to put his two cents in.

“We don’t need no stinkin’ Kanye,” Lady Gaga says as she shakes off the PR nightmare of the cancelled tour and charts a new course forward. The “Poker Face” star is readying the release of her expanded album “The Fame Monster” on November 24, and gearing up for another batch of tour dates.

Kanye West has been all over the news this week for all the wrong reasons. After preempting Taylor Swift’s MTV Video Music Award speech by blathering on about Beyonce, he’s now announced an upcoming tour with fellow headline grabber Lady Gaga. The pair will be taking their “Fame Kills Tour” to 30-plus cities starting with Phoenix on November 10. Full tour dates are listed below.
