Lollapalooza is more than just a music festival—it’s a cultural phenomenon. Founded in 1991 by Perry Farrell, the frontman of Jane’s Addiction, Lollapalooza originated as a touring festival designed to celebrate alternative music and counterculture.

Over the years, it has evolved into a global brand, with editions in cities like Berlin, Paris, Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires. However, its roots remain firmly planted in Chicago, where it has been held annually since 2005. The festival is renowned for its eclectic lineup, featuring a diverse mix of genres, from rock and hip-hop to electronic dance music (EDM), pop, and indie.

With 8 stages and 170+ bands from all over the world, Lollapalooza offers something for everyone. Beyond the music, the festival is a celebration of art, food, and community, making it a must-attend event for music lovers and culture enthusiasts alike.
