The story of Lollapalooza
The Lollapalooza festival was created in 1991 by Perry Farrel, the leader of the group Jane’s Addiction. The event has established itself on the American continent as the benchmark rock, punk and heavy metal festival, with editions in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Berlin. The festival is bought by LiveNation, a multinational considered to be the biggest organizer of musical events in the world. In France, the American company is already organizing three festivalsthe Main Square of Arras, I Love Tech of Montpellier and the DownloadFestival of Paris, created in 2016. “Live Nation wanted to continue to develop its activity on festivals in France” assured Angelo Gopee who does not however speak of competition.
“I’m not sure that the Vieilles Charrues, or even Solidays, We Love Green, Rock en Seine bring in artists like David Guetta, Calvin Harris or Ariana Grande” he defends himself before deciding: “Between all these festivals, there is a place for us, with artists that we are the only ones to be able to offer”. Historically, the Lollapalooza was the original springboard for rock giants such as Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and even Pearl Jam.”The Lollapalooza is the biggest festival in the world, which brings together 120 000 spectators a day in Chicago every summer,” he explains.
