Standout Perfomances
Lolla has a distinct atmosphere that sets it apart from any other music festival in the world. Creator Perry Farrell held nothing back when establishing its culture. While it’s grown in inclusiveness and safety over the years, that culture permeates the four-day weekend of sound and sights. Each genre representation at the festival has a way of causing its respective subculture to arise. For example, it’s not unusual to witness mosh pits and crowd surfing during punk rock performances. Then, there’s also the occasional television smashing pit or tattooing/piercing parlors.
Lollapalooza, despite its quirks, has featured a wide range of notable musical artists. Standouts include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Thirty Seconds to Mars, The National, and LCD Soundsystem. Lineups have also included many national acts. Each year, Lolla finds itself making appearances in other nations, drawing out many popular and diverse bands. The festival has been held in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Sweden, and France.
