Event
Information:
Lollapalooza is an annual music
festival featuring popular
alternative rock, heavy metal, punk
rock and hip hop bands, dance and
comedy performances, and craft
booths. It has also provided a
platform for non-profit and
political groups. Lollapalooza has
featured a diverse range of bands
and has helped expose and popularize
artists such as Red Hot Chili
Peppers, Pearl Jam, The Cure,
Primus, The Killers, Rage Against
the Machine, Arcade Fire, Nine Inch
Nails, Jane's Addiction, Metallica,
X Japan, Soundgarden, Siouxsie & the
Banshees, The Smashing Pumpkins,
Muse, Alice in Chains, Tool, Hole,
30 Seconds to Mars, The Strokes,
Lady GaGa and the Starlight Revue,
and Green Day.
Conceived and created in 1991 by
Jane's Addiction singer Perry
Farrell as a farewell tour for his
band, Lollapalooza ran annually
until 1997, and was revived in 2003.
From its inception through 1997, and
its revival in 2003, the festival
toured North America. In 2004, the
festival organizers decided to
expand the dates to two days per
city, but poor ticket sales forced
the 2004 tour to be cancelled. In
2005, Farrell and the William Morris
Agency partnered up with Austin,
Texas-based company Capital Sports
Entertainment (now C3 Presents) and
retooled it into its current format
as a weekend destination festival in
Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois. In
2010 it was announced that
Lollapalooza would debut overseas,
with a branch of the festival staged
in Chile's capital Santiago on April
2–3, where they partnered up
with Santiago, Chile-based company
Lotus.
