Consider it the high price of being a headliner.
Lady Gaga's stage at this summer's Lollapalooza will cost $150,000, according to various reports.
Lolla founder Perry Farrel told Britain's Daily Star, "We're bringing in a special stage for her, investing like a hundred grand to house what she's doing. That's massive."
Obviously, Lolla organizers believe the eccentric pop star is worth every penny of the price. She joins Soundgarden, Green Day and The Strokes, Phoenix and Arcade Fire as the other headliners at the three day festival, scheduled for August 6-8 in Grant Park.
