The Lollapalooza festival was created in 1991 by Perry Farrel, the leader of the band Jane’s Addiction. The event has established itself on the American continent as the benchmark rock, punk and heavy metal festival, with editions in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Berlin. The festival is acquired by Live Nation, a multinational considered to be the largest organizer of musical events in the world. In France, the American company already organizes three festivals, the Main Square in Arras, I Love Techno in Montpellier and the Download Festival in Paris, created in 2016. “Live Nation wanted to continue to develop its activity at festivals in France” assured Angelo Gopee who however does not speak of competition.
“I’m not sure that the Vieilles Charrues, or even Solidays, We Love Green, Rock en Seine bring artists like David Guetta, Calvin Harris or Ariana Grande” he defends himself before deciding: “Between all these festivals, there is a place for us, with artists that we are the only ones to be able to offer”. Historically, the Lollapalooza has been the springboard for rock giants such as Rage Against The Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. “The Lollapalooza is the biggest festival in the world, which brings together 120,000 spectators a day in Chicago every summer,” he explains.
