In 1990, Lollapalooza got its start, touring around the country and featuring a line up of alternative and grunge bands such as Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Nine Inch Nails, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also featured were booths for artistic works, tattoo and piercing, open mic readings, mosh pits and other forms of alternative expression. In 1996, Perry Farrell left Lollapalooza and eventually the musical festival ended. But in 2005, Lollapalooza returned. However, it no longer traveled across the country. It was contracted to appear in Grant Park, in Chicago, Illinois, every August until 2018.
Lollapalooza is a huge festival that is very popular in the Chicago area. Even though it no longer travels across the country, it used to, and now it has made a name for itself. Tickets for the event sell out in just a few days. If you want to see a hot artist you had better get there early if you want a front row seat. Said one Lollapalooza 2009 ! attendee, "One of my friends got in front of the stage at 4:00 P.M to see Kings of Leon, and they didn't start playing until 8:00 P.M. That's the only way you could get close to any stage. You had to get there early."
