Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza /ˌlɒləpəˈlzə/ (Lolla) is an annual four-day music festival in Chicago, Illinois, at Grant Park, founded in 1991 and since expanded to other countries. Performances include but are not limited to alternative rock, heavy metal, punk rock, hip hop, and electronic music. Lollapalooza has also provided a platform for nonprofit and political groups and various visual artists. The four-day music festival in Chicago's Grant Park hosts an estimated 400,000 people each year and sells out annually.[2] Lollapalooza is considered one of the largest and most iconic music festivals in the world and one of the longest running in the United States.[3][4] In 2019, its Brazilian edition was the world's third highest grossing festival, with revenues of $14.5 million.[5]

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 organizers decided to expand the dates to two days per city, but poor ticket sales forced the 2004 tour to be cancelled.[6]

In 2005, Farrell and the William Morris Agency partnered with Austin, Texas–based company Capital Sports Entertainment (now C3 Presents) and retooled the event into its current format as a weekend destination festival in Chicago at Grant Park. In 2014, Live Nation Entertainment bought a controlling interest in C3 Presents.[7]

In 2010, it was announced that Lollapalooza would remain in Chicago while also debuting outside 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. In 2011, the company Geo Events confirmed the Brazilian version of the event, which was held at the Jockey Club in São Paulo on April 7 and 8, 2012.[8][9] The Argentine version started in April 2014 in Buenos Aires and in November 2014, the first European Lollapalooza was announced, and was held at the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.[10]

Etymology

The word—sometimes alternatively spelled and pronounced as lollapalootza, lalapaloosa,[11] lallapaloosa (P. G. Wodehouse, "Heart of a Goof"), dates from a late 19th-century/early 20th-century American idiomatic phrase meaning "an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event; an exceptional example or instance".[12] Its earliest known use was in 1896.[13] In time, the term also came to refer to a large lollipop.[14] Farrell, searching for a name for his festival, liked the euphonious quality of the by-then-antiquated term upon hearing it in a Three Stooges short film.[15] Paying homage to the term's double meaning, a character in the festival's original logo holds a lollipop.[14]

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, popular Chicago sushi restaurant, "Roll"-apalooza, etc.

History

Creation

Inspired by events such as Britain's Reading Festival—which Lollapalooza cofounder Perry Farrell had been due to play in 1990 [16]—Farrell, Ted Gardner, Don Muller, and Marc Geiger conceived the festival in 1990 as a farewell for Farrell's band Jane's Addiction.[17]

Unlike previous festivals such as Woodstock, A Gathering of the Tribes (also an influence on Lollapalooza), and the US Festival, which were one-time events held at single venues, Lollapalooza toured across the United States and Canada from mid-July until late August 1991. The inaugural Lollapalooza lineup was made up of artists from alternative rock (such as Siouxsie and the Banshees who were the second headliners), industrial music (such as Nine Inch Nails), and rap (Ice-T rapped and used the platform to launch Body Count, his heavy metal band). The premiere in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 18, 1991, was covered by a report on MTV, which ended by journalist Dave Kendall saying "Lollapalooza could be the tour of the summer";[18] the tour finished off in Seattle on August 28, 1991.

Another key concept was the inclusion of nonmusical features.[19] Performers such as the Jim Rose Circus Side Show, an alternative freak show, and the Shaolin monks stretched the boundaries of rock culture. There was a tent for display of art pieces, virtual reality games, and information tables for political and environmental nonprofit groups, promoting counterculture and political awareness.[20] "Basically, I'm bored", Farrell said at the time. "I just want to see things that are unexpected and slightly bizarre. The way Barnum & Bailey perceived putting on a show...well, they had a different angle."[21]

Success and decline

The inaugural edition in 1991 was a surprise massive success. For Dave Grohl of Nirvana, who saw it in Los Angeles while mixing Nevermind, the festival helped change the mentalities in the music industry. The Butthole Surfers opened the day, playing in front of a big audience, and Siouxsie and the Banshees "were like the Led Zeppelin of that scene". "It felt like something was happening, that was the beginning of it all".[22] That year, Farrell also coined the term "Alternative Nation".[23] 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.[24] 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 tattoo and piercing parlors.[25][26] After 1991, the festival included a second stage (and in 1996, a third) for up-and-coming bands or local acts.[27] Attendee complaints of the festival included high ticket prices as well as the high cost for food and water at the shows.[28] The event took place at the Alpine Valley festival in East Troy, Wisconsin on August 29, 1992, and also at World Music Theater in Tinley Park, Illinois (near Chicago), 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.[15]

Grunge band Nirvana was scheduled to headline at the festival in 1994, reportedly being offered nearly $10 million to do it.[29] However, frontman Kurt Cobain turned it down, and the band officially dropped out of the festival on April 7, 1994.[15] Cobain's body was discovered in Seattle the next day. His widow, Courtney Love, made guest appearances at several shows, including the Philadelphia 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.[15] 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 seventy-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.[15] Many fans saw the addition of Metallica in 1996 as contrary to the festival's prior practice of featuring "non-mainstream" artists,[15] and described the crowds attracted by Metallica as being singularly focused on the headliner without respect for the other performing artists.[30] Moreover, festival cofounder Farrell felt that Metallica's macho image violated his peaceful vision for the festival,[31] as the alternative culture of the early 1990s was generally against macho behavior.[32] Farrell quit the tour in protest.[33]

Responding to the controversial Metallica incident, Lollapalooza made efforts to revive its relevance to audiences. The festival booked eclectic acts such as country superstar Waylon Jennings in 1996, and emphasized heavily electronica groups such as The Orb and The Prodigy in 1997.[15] 1997, however, would prove to be the final tour from the initial series of Lollapalooza events. The festival failed to find a suitable headliner in 1998 and therefore announced Lollapalooza's cancellation.[34] The cancellation served as a signifier of alternative rock's declining popularity. In light of the festival's troubles that year, Spin magazine said, "Lollapalooza is as comatose as alternative rock right now."[35]

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.[15] 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.[6] Farrell partnered with Capital Sports & Entertainment (now C3 Presents), which co-owns and produces the Austin City Limits Music Festival, to produce Lollapalooza.[36] CSE, Farrell, and the William Morris Agency—along with Charles Attal Presents—resurrected Lollapalooza as a two-day destination festival in 2005 in Chicago's Grant Park, with an even greater variety of performers (70 acts on five stages) than that of the touring festival.[15] The event was generally successful, attracting over 65,000 attendees, despite a 104-degree Fahrenheit Sunday (40 degrees Celsius) heat wave (two people were hospitalized for heat-related illness).[37][38]

It returned to Chicago on August 4–6, 2006. On October 25, 2006, the Chicago Park District and Capital Sports & Entertainment agreed to a five-year, $5 million deal, keeping Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago until 2011.[39] Lollapalooza ran August 3–5 in 2007; August 1–3, 2008; August 7–9, 2009, August 6–8, 2010; August 5–7, 2011; August 3–5, 2012; August 2–4, 2013; and August 1–3, 2014. After a successful 2008 festival, another deal was signed to keep Lollapalooza in Chicago through 2018, guaranteeing the city $13 million.[40]

In 2016, Lollapalooza was four days long, from July 28 to July 31, to celebrate the event's 25th anniversary.[41]

In 2017, the festival kicked off on August 3, celebrating its 26th year of existence.[42]

In 2018, the festival began on August 2 with a lineup of 180 bands.[43]

On March 20, 2019, the next version of the annual Lollapalooza festival was announced.

On July 27, 2020, it was announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 festival in Chicago would now be renamed Lolla2020 and feature a virtual festival broadcast for free on YouTube on July 30–August 2, 2020. The event was scheduled to feature a reunion by Porno for Pyros, marking their first performance in 24 years. The event featured new original live performances, along with performances from past years. Perry Farrell hosted conversations with Metallica's Lars Ulrich, Chuck D, Matt Pinfield, and others, and the event was also planned to feature a special tribute to David Bowie.[44]

Lollapalooza 2020

The 2020 experience of the festival was initially scheduled to occur July 30–August 2. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was officially cancelled on June 9.[45] The festival postponed the sale of tickets in March as a precaution to the possible shutdown of live music events.[46] In order to keep the spirit of the festival going, the city of Chicago announced that they would offer a livestreamed event occurring the same weekend as the initially-planned event.[46] The livestreamed version featured acts such as A$AP Rocky, Brockhampton, Lupe Fiasco, Outkast, and many more performing on a free YouTube broadcast.[47] As well as live performances, many older sets from past Lollapalooza events were livestreamed and later uploaded to the Lollapalooza YouTube page.

Festival tickets and pricing

Tickets to the flagship and original Lollapalooza edition, in Chicago, usually sold out extremely quickly. For the 2016 event, the four-day general passes sold out in about one day after the sale began. The one-day passes sold even more quickly: they were gone less than three hours after organizers revealed the lineup for the four-day music festival.[48] Because of this phenomenon, people who cannot buy the passes try to get them through alternatives sources such as Craigslist and StubHub. This is a common practice, although the prices tend to be significantly higher on these websites.[49] In 2018, the festival experienced unusually slower sales, so they released the lineup about eight hours earlier.

In its earliest editions, the official passes cost $31.50. However, with its growth and prominent relevance in the music world, Lollapalooza pass prices have increasing substantially over the years. Comparing the weekend passes for Lollapalooza 2016, which cost $335, with the ones for Lollapalooza 2015, at $275, the increase was more than 20%.[50] The price for weekend passes from 2016 to 2018 remained the same. In 2020, a slight increase of five dollars was added to weekend passes, making them $340.[51]

Notable performances

Kanye West performing at Lollapalooza Santiago 2011

Kanye West (2008) – West performed on August 3, the final night of the 2008 edition of the festival, to a huge display of flashing lights and various stage effects.[52] As a closing act, he performed tracks such as "Flashing Lights", "Shine", and "Homecoming".[52] His set lasted from 8:30 pm to 10:00 pm as he performed in front the Chicago crowd.[53] His performance was seen as a comeback from his 2006 set, which had been complicated by technical issues. West had finished his set off by giving thanks to his hometown of Chicago and performing "Stronger".[54]

Chance the Rapper performing at Lollapalooza 2017

Chance The Rapper (2013)– Chance the Rapper's first appearance at Lollapalooza in his hometown of Chicago, was at the age of 20.[55] The artist introduced himself with the words "My name is Chance the Rapper and I'm from right here, Chicago, Illinois."[56] Following the debut of his mixtape Acid Rap, Chance's popularity grew. Complex labeled him one of their "10 Chicago Rappers to Watch For" and ranked his 2013 album as second best that year, only being beaten by Kanye West's Yeezus.[57] Chance performed a 30-minute set at Lollapalooza, which included his hit song "Juice". People began climbing up flimsy trees and light posts to get a better view of the artist as his set progressed.[56] Chance has continued to perform at Lollapalooza every year since his initial appearance in 2013.[58][47]

Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast performing alongside other artists at Lollapalooza 2014

Outkast (2014) After reuniting in early 2014, Outkast had their sights set on touring major festivals all across the country during that spring and summer. The news came as a surprise to many, as the group had released no new music collectively since 2006, and were vocal about a breakup of the group. The major touring was meant to be a celebration for the 20th anniversary of the duo's inception.[59] With a rocky start to the long tour they were going on, Outkast hit their stride once they arrived in Chicago. The duo had been accused of a lack of passion onstage at earlier shows. However, Grant Park was raised out of its slump as Andre 3000 and Big Boi finally seemed to reconnect and put on a successful show.[60] Before the final song of the night, Andre 3000 publicly announced: "We had a great fucking time, for real".[60]

Spin-off events

Kidzapalooza

Originally thought of by music producer Tor Hyams, Kidzapalooza was the idea for a more child-centered experience to the adult Lollapalooza. Hyams came to Perry Farrell with the idea in 2005, and later that year the event first appeared in Chicago.[64] Kidzapalooza has been a success and appeared alongside every Lollapalooza since its original debut in 2005. The event includes many different events for children to enjoy such as game, design, and art stations where children can express their creativity. Musical instruments are set up for children to play and experience in another station of the venue. Raffles and various other amenities are available to the children as well.[65] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 installation of Kidzapalooza was cancelled.[45] Kidzapalooza has sprouted to other venues taking interest, such as the Hollywood Bowl hosting its own Kidzapalooza in 2008 as a stand-alone event.[64]

Purim being celebrated

PurimPalooza

Another play on the Lollapalooza name, PurimPalooza is a celebration of the Jewish holiday Purim. The celebration includes traditional Purim practices such as a commemoratory meal, attendees dressing up in costume, and a public reading of the Scroll of Esther.[66] The night is followed up by less traditional Purim practices, with the addition of live music, by primarily Jewish artists, and drinking for those of age. In 1999, Farrell himself performed at PurimPalooza, hosted by Rabbi Josef Langer, at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.[66] Again in 2006, Farrell performed at PurimPalooza, hosted at the Ruby Skye in San Francisco, which featured artists such as Matisyahu and Chutzpah.[67]

International expansion

Chile

In 2010, it was announced that Lollapalooza would debut in South America, with a branch of the festival staged in Chile's capital Santiago on April 2–3, 2011. The Lollapalooza Chile lineup included Jane's Addiction, Thirty Seconds to Mars, The National, Manny and Gil The Latin, The Drums, The Killers, Los Bunkers, Ana Tijoux, Javiera Mena, Fatboy Slim, Deftones, Los Plumabits, Cypress Hill, 311, The Flaming Lips, and many others.[68] The eighth edition in Chile was held on 16–18 March 2018, with Pearl Jam, Lana Del Rey, The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and LCD Soundsystem as headliners.

Brazil

A Brazilian version of the event was confirmed in 2011,[8] and had its inaugural edition at the Jockey Club in São Paulo on April 7 and 8, 2012.[9] 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.[69] 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.[70] Interlagos remained the festival's home for the following editions, on March 28–29, 2015,[71] March 12–13, 2016,[72] March 25–26, 2017, March 23–25, 2018, and April 5–7, 2019.[73]

Argentina

On September 10, 2013, it was announced that the Argentine version of the festival would be held in Buenos Aires.[74] Since then, Lollapalooza has had an annual edition at the Hipódromo de San Isidro, usually on the last days of March.

Germany

On November 4, 2014, it was announced that the very first European Lollapalooza would be held in the German capital of Berlin. It was scheduled for September 12–13, 2015, and the proposed location was the historical airport grounds of Berlin-Tempelhof.[75] 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".[10][76] Lollapalooza Germany was produced by the Lollapalooza U.S. team, in addition to Melt! Booking and Festival Republic, who have helped run both Reading and Leeds festivals in England.[77] The 2016 edition of the event took place in the Treptower Park in Berlin, on 10–11 September. It drew 70,000 visitors each day.[78]

At change.org, an online petition against the festival in the Treptower Park gathered over 6,400 supporters. Citizens from the area created working groups to stop the festival taking place, due to noise and other complaints.[79]

Since 2018, the festival has been held at the Olympiapark Berlin.

Sweden

The first Scandinavian edition of Lollapalooza was held in the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, on June 28–29, 2019.[80]

France

On October 12, 2016, Lollapalooza announced that they would be hosting a festival in Paris, France.[81] The inaugural edition of the event took place at the city's Longchamp Racecourse grounds on July 22–23, 2017. The lineup for Lollapalooza Paris 2017 was announced on January 17, 2017, and included Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Weeknd as headliners. Following that, the lineup included the likes of Imagine Dragons, Lana Del Rey, DJ Snake, London Grammar, Alt-J, The Roots, Marshmello, Liam Gallagher, Martin Solveig, Skepta, Glass Animals, Milky Chance, Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, Crystal Fighters, Jauz, Alan Walker, and many more.

Israel

On August 7, 2012, Perry Farrell announced that Lollapalooza would be debuting in Tel Aviv, Israel. Farrell described Israel as an "international music community that listens to everything we all listen to, but the artists weren't traveling there so it was an opportunity."[82] The event was scheduled for August 20–22, 2013 in Hayarkon Park, the city's largest urban park.[83] However, the event was postponed to an unspecified date.[84] While there was no definitive reason for the cancellation of the Israel date, various news sources reported financial challenges associated with producing a large-scale show with international artists within the political situation in the Middle East.[85]

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.[86]

Both The Jesus Lizard and Melvins have subsequently performed at the event (although this was a number of years later).[87][88]

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.[89][90]
