Lollapalooza
Presented by

Lollapalooza
The direction of music touring took a new course in 1991, when Jane’s Addiction front man Perry Farrell created Lollapalooza – the first large-scale showcase in the US for the underserved and powerful alternative music scene. The first to bring audiences a second stage, Lollapalooza was instrumental in exposing alternative music formats to the masses – blending diverse musical styles like hip-hop and electronica with rock and roll. Lollapalooza quickly established itself as a lifestyle festival, pushing the envelope and exposing concertgoers to a subculture of ‘alternative’ living and art, and providing a platform for numerous human rights and environmental causes.

In 2005, Lollapalooza made historic Grant Park in downtown Chicago its home – a city and beautiful setting worthy of such a spectacle of music, art, interactivity and community. In turn, Chicago made Lollapalooza its Festival.

The latest version of the Lollapalooza phenomenon has evolved and expanded into one of the premier destination festivals in the US, drawing artists and music fans of all stripes from across the globe.

The 2008 edition of the Festival – happening will continue to raise the ante, with a bill loaded with 125+ acts from rock to avant-garde, indie to funk, and all sounds in between, like Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West, Wilco, The Raconteurs, Love & Rockets, Gnarls Barkley, Bloc Party, The Black Keys, Broken Social Scene and many more.

Lollapalooza 2008 takes place August 1-3, 2008 in historic Grant Park in Chicago. Check out the 2008 lineup and all of the happenings on the Lollapalooza website.
