Lollapalooza started back
in 1991 when Perry Farrell, lead singer of fabled alternative
rockers Jane's Addiction, started planning a farewell show for the
group. His idea morphed into a larger-than-life musical
roadshow that would bring music, culture, and community to fans all over
the continent. Farrell's festival did it with flair, pulling together
diverse acts like Nine Inch Nails andIce-T for a
culture-spanning celebration the world had never seen.
Lollapalooza now calls the legendary city of Chicago home, having put down roots in the gorgeous green spaces of Grant Park in 2005. It now spans over 115 acres, multiple stages, and diverse array of 130+ artists from hip-hop, electronica, reggae, indie rock, modern roots, and many more.
