About Lollapalooza

Launched by founder Perry Farrell in 1991 as a touring festival, Lollapalooza remains an innovator in festival culture 25 years later. Lollapalooza was ground breaking from the start, bringing artists from a wide range of musical genres together on one bill. It’s also the first American festival to expand into several festival days, the first using more than one stage, the first to blend art and activism, the first to offset its carbon emissions, the first to put electronic dance music on the main stage, the first to create family friendly programming, the first to make its home in an urban city center and the first to expand globally.

Lollapalooza has grown into an annual world-class festival in Chicago, United States, as well as culturally rich countries including Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, and France. Lollapalooza is one of the premier music festival destinations both for music fans in the US and abroad. In celebration of the festival’s 25th Anniversary, Lollapalooza Chicago expanded to four days in 2016, and continues to host 100,000 fans a day, featuring over 180 artists on 8 stages annually.
