LOLLA-LOVE: If Love is featured in Vanity...

LOLLA-LOVE: If Love is featured in Vanity Fair this summer, it would be on the newsstands right in the middle of the Lollapalooza ’95 tour. But Love’s band, Hole, is still a Lollapalooza question mark. An offer has been made to Hole, but several people close to the tour say that they are getting conflicting signals. Kingsley says she believes Hole will do the tour, but the band has yet to accept the offer.

In the meantime, you can probably cross Snoop Doggy Dogg off the list of Lollapalooza possibles. He’d been rumored as a possible replacement for Neil Young, which would make him the first rap act ever to headline the alternative music caravan. But a spokesman for the rapper says flatly that Snoop is not going to sign on. And there is the little matter of his murder trial, scheduled to begin April 19 in Los Angeles.

The other name being mentioned most frequently to fill the headliner slot is Stone Temple Pilots. Others who have been approached for non-headliner roles include Orange County punk band the Offspring, English singer P J Harvey and independent-rock icons Fugazi, but all are said to have declined. An offer remains on the table for rap trio Cypress Hill.

And a wild-card idea now being floated is a reunion of the Clash, a notion that had been raised for past Lollapaloozas.
