Lollapalooza KNOW HOW TO
Lollapalooza
/ˌlɒləpəˈluːzə/ is an annual music festival featuring popular
alternative rock, heavy metal, punk rock and hip hop bands, dance and
comedy performances and craft booths. It has also provided a platform
for non-profit and political groups and various visual artists.Conceived
and created in 1991 by Jane's Addiction singer Perry Farrell as a
farewell tour for his band, Lollapalooza ran annually until 1997, and
was revived in 2003. From its inception through 1997 and its revival in
2003, the festival toured North America. In 2004, the festival
organizers decided to expand the dates to two days per city, but poor
ticket sales forced the 2004 tour to be canceled. In 2005, Farrell and
the William Morris Agency partnered up with Austin, Texas–based company
Capital Sports Entertainment (now C3 Presents) and retooled it into its
current format as a weekend destination festival in Grant Park, Chicago,
Illinois.
In 2010 it was announced that Lollapalooza would debut outside of the United States, with a branch of the festival staged in Chile's capital Santiago on April 2–3, 2011 where they partnered up with Santiago-based company Lotus.

Etymology
The
word—sometimes alternatively spelled and pronounced as lollapalootza or
lalapaloosa—or "lallapaloosa" (P.G. Wodehouse, "Heart of a Goof") dates
from a late 19th-/early 20th-century American idiomatic phrase meaning
"an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional
example or instance." Its earliest known use was in 1896. In time the
term also came to refer to a large lollipop. Farrell, searching for a
name for his festival, liked the euphonious quality of the now
antiquated term upon hearing it in a Three Stooges short film. Paying
homage to the term's double meaning, a character in the festival's
original logo holds one of the lollipops.
The word has also caused a slang suffix to appear in event-planning circles as well as in news and opinion shows that is used synonymously with other suffixes like "a-go-go", "o-rama", etc. The suffix "(a)palooza" is often used to imply (often in hyperbolic language) that an entire event or crowd was made over that term, e.g.: "Parks"-apalooza, "Gaff"-

History
Inspired
by the Gathering of the Tribes concerts produced by Bill Graham, Perry
Farrell, Ted Gardner, Marc Geiger, and Don Muller, conceived of the
festival in 1990 as a farewell tour for his band Jane's Addiction.
Unlike previous music festivals such as Woodstock, A Gathering of the
Tribes, or the US Festival, which were one-time events held in one
venue, Lollapalooza was a touring festival that traveled across the
United States and Canada.
The inaugural 1991 lineup was made up of artists from various genres, drawing in headliners from post-punk such as Siouxsie and the Banshees to industrial music such as Nine Inch Nails, and Ice-T, invited to represent rap (which backfired, as Ice-T used this platform to launch Body Count, a heavy metal band). Another key concept behind Lollapalooza was the inclusion of non-musical features. Performers like the Jim Rose Circus Side Show, an alternative freak show, and the Shaolin monks stretched the boundaries of traditional rock culture. There was a tent for display of art pieces, virtual reality games, and information tables for political and environmental non-profit groups promoting counter-culture and political awareness.

Success and decline
It
was at Lollapalooza where Farrell coined the term "Alternative Nation".
The explosion of alternative rock in the early 1990s propelled
Lollapalooza forward; the 1992 and 1993 festivals leaned heavily on
grunge and alternative acts, and usually featured an additional rap
artist. Punk rock standbys like mosh pits and crowd surfing became part
of the canon of the concerts. These years saw great increases in the
participatory nature of the event with the inclusion of booths for
open-microphone readings and oratory, television-smashing pits and
tattooing and piercing parlors. After 1991, the festival included a
second stage (and, in 1996, a third stage) for up-and-coming bands or
local acts. Attendee complaints of the festival included high ticket
prices as well as the high cost for food and water at the shows. The
festival played at the Alpine Valley festival in East Troy, Wisconsin on
August 29, 1992, and also at Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston,
Michigan (near Detroit) in 1991, where concertgoers ripped up chunks of
sod and grass and threw them at each other and at the bands, resulting
in tens of thousands of dollars in damages to the venue.
Grunge band Nirvana was scheduled to headline at the festival in 1994, but the band officially dropped out of the festival on April 7, 1994. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's body was discovered in Seattle, Washington the next day. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love, made guest appearances at several shows, including the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania show at FDR Park (usually taking time given to her by The Smashing Pumpkins vocalist/guitarist Billy Corgan), speaking to the crowds about the loss, then singing a minimum of two songs. Farrell worked with rock poster artist Jim Evans (T.A.Z.) to create a series of posters and the complete graphic decoration for the 1994 event, including two 70 foot tall Buddha statues that flanked the main stage.
In 1996, Farrell, who had been the soul of the festival, decided to focus his energy to produce his new festival project, ENIT, and did not participate in producing Lollapalooza. Many fans saw the addition of Metallica in 1996 as going against the practice of featuring "non-mainstream" artists Moreover, festival cofounder Farrell felt that the group's macho image violated his peaceful vision for the festival, for alternative culture of the early 1990s was generally against macho behavior. Farrell quit the tour in protest. Efforts were made to keep the festival relevant, including more eclectic acts such as country superstar Waylon Jennings and emphasizing more heavily electronica groups like The Prodigy. By 1997, however, the Lollapalooza concept had run out of steam, and in 1998 failed efforts to find a suitable headliner resulted in the festival's cancellation. The cancellation served as a signifier of alternative rock's declining popularity. In light of the festival's troubles that year, Spin said, "Lollapalooza is as comatose as alternative rock right now."

Revival and rebirth
In
2003, Farrell reconvened Jane's Addiction and scheduled a new
Lollapalooza tour. The festival schedule included venues in 30 cities
through July and August. The 2003 tour achieved only marginal success
with many fans staying away, presumably because of high ticket prices.
Another tour scheduled for 2004 was to consist of a two-day festival
taking place in each city. It was cancelled in June due to weak ticket
sales across the country.

In the following year, Lollapalooza was again held at Jockey Club during Holy Week, this time expanding to three days that filled the whole Paschal Triduum - March 29-31, 2013. ] The third edition was moved to the Autódromo José Carlos Pace in São Paulo's borough of Interlagos, happening on April 5 and 6, 2014. Interlagos will again host the festival for the 2015 edition, to be held on March 28 and 29.
Argentina On September 10, 2013, it was announced that the following year the festival will also be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina; thus expanding the South American branch after the festivals in Santiago and São Paulo.
Germany On November 4, 2014, it was announced that the very first Lollapalooza Festival will be held in Europe, in the German capital of Berlin. It is scheduled for September 12-13, 2015, the proposed location is the historical airport ground of Berlin-Tempelhof. In the official press release, festival founder Perry Farrell stated that, "Berlin's energy, vibrant art, fashion and music scenes are a mirror reflection of what Lollapalooza is all about and I can’t wait to share in this cultural exchange".
Other On August 7, 2012, Perry Farrell announced that Lollapalooza will be debuting in Tel Aviv, Israel. The event was scheduled for August 20–22, 2013 in Hayarkon Park, the city's largest urban park. However, the event has been postponed to an unknown date.
Criticism
Recording engineer, guitarist, and journalist Steve Albini has criticized Lollapalooza for its corporatization of popularized "alternative" music. In a 1993 interview, Albini commented:
Lollapalooza is the worst example of corporate encroachment into what is supposed to be the underground. It is just a large scale marketing of bands that pretend to be alternative but are in reality just another facet of the mass cultural exploitation scheme. I have no appreciation or affection for those bands and I have no interest in that whole circle. If Lollapalooza had Jesus Lizard and the Melvins and Fugazi and Slint then you could make a case that it was actually people on the vanguard of music. What it really is is the most popular bands on MTV that are not heavy metal.
Both Jesus Lizard and the Melvins have subsequently performed at the event.
In
April 2010, it was reported that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
had launched an antitrust investigation into the festival for imposing
radius clauses on acts, contractually stipulating that they could not
perform in cities within 300 miles of Chicago—including cities as far as
Detroit, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee—for up to six months prior, and
three months after Lollapalooza.
