NSDTCM: FESTIVALS: LOLLAPALOOZA
Lollapalooza is an American music festival featuring alternative rock, hip hop, and punk ,rock,dance and comedy performances, and craft booths. It also provided a platform for non-profit and political groups.
Conceived and created in 1991 by Perry Farrell, singer for the band Jane's Addiction as a farewell tour for his band, Lollapalooza ran annually until 1997, and was revived in 2003. The festival encapsulated American youth culture for the 1990s much as Woodstock did for the 1960s.
After poor ticket sales forced the 2004 tour to be canceled,[1] it was retooled in 2005 by Austin, TX based Capital Sports Entertainment into its current format as a weekend destination festival in Grant Park in Chicago.
