The Lollapalooza festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary this summer with a three-day event at Chicago’s Grant Park on August 5-7.
This year, headliners include Eminem, Foo Fighters, Coldplay, Muse, and My Morning Jacket.
The bill will also include artists such as Cee Lo Green, deadmau5, A Perfect Circle, the Cars, Ween, Bright Eyes, Lykke Li, Cold War Kids, Big Audio Dynamite, Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley and Nas, Best Coast, Smith Westerns and Explosions in the Sky.
The event will also feature the debut of a 15,000-capacity dance tent that will host performances by Girl Talk, Kid Cudi, Pretty Lights and Skrillex.
Festival founder Perry Farrell will also play the dance tent stage as part of a PerryEtty Vs. Chris Cox set. “I just feel so fortunate that I was able to make something so wonderful for the musicians and the audience,” Farrell says. “It’s just astounding where it has evolved to. In 1991, we had seven groups and we were performing on dirt fields.”
