Lollapalooza was first created in 1991 as a farewell tour by Perry Farell from Jane’s Addiction. Spin rated the festival as the best concert on a list of “The 35 Greatest Concerts of the Last 35 Years.” The concert was traditionally held in Grant Park, in Chicago, and began touring until Chicago was made the permanent location.

It ran annually for six years, then was dropped. In 2003, the celebration was revived and toured throughout North America until Farrell and the William Morris Agency collaborated with Capital Sports Entertainment to retool the event. 

It wasn’t until 2010 that Lollapalooza would remain in Chicago and debut outside the United States. A festival branch was staged in Santiago, Chile, in 2011, and the Brazilian version of the event was confirmed a year later.

The first Lollapalooza festival to be held in Europe was in Germany on November 4, 2014. Afterwards, other European Lollapalooza festivals were held in France, Sweden, and even Israel. However, following the festival’s global growth, some Lollapalooza critics believe the event corporatized popular alternative music.

In particular, recording journalist and engineer Steve Albini called it a “corporate encroachment of the underground.” They criticized how it was the most popular bands on MTV that weren’t heavy metal.

Whether it is or not, many people enjoy the event and have called it one of the world’s largest and most iconic music festivals.
