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.


Black Spade
Armed with little more than his father’s extensive record collection of jazz, soul, psychedelic rock, folk, comedy and a Kurzweil 2000 keyboard - Black Spade’s music is a melting pot of sounds hailing from St. Louis by way of New York, Detroit, LA, and everywhere that hip-hop has carved a distinctive and influential sound for itself.
Despite his strong ties to hip-hop, Spade’s taste in music walks across genres. He listens to Prince and Dilla, alongside Bloc Party and Radiohead while using all these sounds as a blueprint for his future, one that sits under the guiding light of Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew era electronic sax skronk.Then there’s his rapping – Spade’s cadence flutters up and down like Pharoahe Monch, but stays introspective like Common.
At his core, Black Spade is a producer who makes music because he loves to. His sounds are grounded in the past while still sounding futuristic, and most importantly come from the heart. Spade says, “To get my music out there to people… at the end of the day that’s what really counts.” “Black Spade…he’s is definitely the future of hip hop.” – Daz-i-Kue (Bugz in the Attic)
