She’s always up for a good time and Lady GaGa has signed on to perform at one of the John Lennon tribute concerts scheduled for October.

The “Just Dance” diva will join Sonic Youth duo Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore at the We Are Plastic Ono Band show at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles on October 2nd.
And Gaga isn’t the only draw for these concerts, as the roster boasts names like Perry Farrell, Iggy Pop, RZA, and John Lennon’s youngest son Sean.

Lady Gaga performed Lennon’s “Imagine” last year at the Human Rights Campaign gathering in Washington DC and is thought to be doing it again this time around.

There's no word yet if she's going to take a seat at the signature white piano again, but Lady Gaga has signed on to perform at one of the John Lennon tribute concerts taking place in Los Angeles in October.

According to Yoko Ono's website, Gaga will join a star-studded list for a pair of We Are Plastic Ono Band shows at the Orpheum Theater on October 1 and 2 that will include performances by Lennon's widow Ono, Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell, Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, experimental solo artist Tune-Yards, punk icon Iggy Pop and Lennon's youngest son, Sean. The shows will pay tribute to Lennon on what would have been the ex-Beatle's 70th birthday.

Gaga is slated to take the stage on the second night on a bill that also features married Sonic Youth duo Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore. Among the other acts listed on the poster promoting the show: Cornelius, actress Carrie Fisher, director/actor Vincent Gallo, Harper Simon, Mike Watt, Nels Cline, Yuka Honda and Haruomi Hosono.

Though her name stands out on the bill, Gaga's inclusion is not that unusual. She performed "Imagine," Lennon's signature song of hope, at last October's Human Rights Campaign gathering in Washington, D.C., where she tweaked the song's lyrics a bit to make references to the 1998 murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard.

The shows are just one of the ways Ono is celebrating what would have been a milestone birthday for Lennon. EMI will reissue spiffed-up versions of Lennon's solo albums on October 5, along with some previously unreleased home recordings.
