CNet's news blog reports a first for the popular recurring summer rock concert Lollapalooza. The festival, which will be held August 3-5 in Chicago, will be webcast live thanks to AT&T.

The online video feed at AT&T's Blue Room Web site will begin at 12:30 p.m. central time on Friday. Included in this year's lineup are Pearl Jam, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Amy Winehouse, Modest Mouse, Patti Smith, Spoon and Interpol.

The Blue Room was launched in October 2006 to build on the success of several content-driven properties developed by the telecommunications giant in recent years. The site features exclusive gaming, music, sports and pop culture content.
