• History

  Lollapalooza was started in 1991 by Perry Farrell as a farewell tour for Jane's Addiction. From 1991 to 1997 Lollapalooza was a traveling music festival attracting some of the biggest names in music.

  In 1998, Lollapalooza was canceled due to a lack of public interest and because organizers could not find an act willing to headline.USAToday: Lollapalooza 2004 cancels all dates (June 22, 2004)

  Farrell attempted to revive Lollapalooza in 2003 with a Jane's Addiction reunion. It was a marginal success and plans for a 2004 tour were scrapped.

  In 2005, Farrell teamed up with Capital Sports & Entertainment and Charles Attal Presents to resurrect Lollapalooza as a two-day festival held in Chicago's Grant Park.

  In 2006, it was announced Chicago would be hosting Lollapalooza until 2011.Billboard: Lollapalooza
