Journey from Chicago to Mumbai
Lollapalooza was first organised at Grant Park in Chicago in 1991 by Perry Farrell, a singer of the alternative rock band Jane’s Addiction. The event started as a multi-city event. However, in 1998 the festival went without a headlining act and was threatened with permanent closure.
This was when Farrell decided to ditch the touring model and stick to the band’s original performing location that is Chicago. Since then, the festival is celebrated as a four-day music fest that is attended by lakhs of people from across the globe.
🌏After travelling through 7 countries and 3 continents, the moment has arrived for India.
4 stages, 40 acts, 2 days, all here in Mumbai. See you on Jan 28-29! #LollaIndia
