If officially confirmed, a Lollapalooza gig will mark Vampire Weekend's first spot at the festival, which has been held in Chicago since 2005. The band's new album, Modern Vampires of the City, is due out May 7th. A Lolla show would be one of several festival appearances for Phoenix, who have booked a short run of U.S. dates this spring that includes stops at Coachella in California, leading up to the April release of their new album Bankrupt! 

It will mark a return to the Lolla stage for Phoenix, the Grammy-winning Mumford & Sons and the Killers, who all have performed at the long-running festival over the past four years.
