LOLLAPALOOZA was the banner devised by Perry Farrell for
the 1991 farewell tour of his Los Angeles-based band Jane’s
Addiction (who reunited later and are amidst their 2nd farewell
tour, right now).

It started in Chicago and has since become a defining cultural event for
alternative music enthusiasts worldwide, showcasing diverse talents and
fostering a global community of music and art lovers. Lollapalooza has also
become a platform for social change, encouraging activism and also
environmental consciousness.

The festival has since expanded into eight territories around the world
including Chicago, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Sweden and
India.

A documentary series, named LOLLA: THE STORY OF LOLLAPALOOZA,
about the festival‘s conception and development over the years, has been
made now. It’s a three-part docu, premiering May 21 on Paramount+.

Farrell: “When a car is going real, real fast, it gets harder to jump out. Lollapalooza began in the summer of 1991 as a particularly underground event. In the more than three decades since, the festival has transformed into a popular culture staple where some of the biggest names in pop — from Ariana Grande and the Weeknd to Kendrick Lamar and Lana Del Rey — have delivered headlining performances.”

Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, Soundgarden, Tool, Hole, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, Arrested Development, Primus, Alice in Chains, the Verve, Beastie Boys, the Breeders, A Tribe Called Quest, the Smashing Pumpkins, Moby, Coolio, Beck, the Pixies, Pearl Jam, Kim Petra, Steve Aoki, Miley Cyrus, Sinead O’Connor, Questlove & the Roots, the Ramones, are among the artists that appear in the trailer.
