RHCP confirmed for Lollapalooza
As it’s known, Lolapalooza is no longer a tour, but a three-day festival in Chicago, USA. This year, Perry Farrell decided to bring it to its old glory and he invited some big names over…among them Red Hot Chili Peppers, Kanye West, Queens Of The Stone Age and Death Cab For Cutie. The festival will be held from 4th to 6th August and there will be more than 70 performers/bands; 130 acts on 8 stages in total.
Here’s what Farrell said to MTV.com:
“It’s a kick-ass lineup. We know you’re going to have a sloppy good time,” Farrell said. “We made a concerted effort to book more hip-hop this year, and to mix it with a bunch of other amazing things too. And what we’ve ended up with is a beautiful, amazing thing.”
“We knew going in last year that it was going to be a challenge, but we pounded away and ended up with something great. But I knew that the formula we had would work, and it did,” Farrell said. “And now, the goal this year is to build on it. I like the idea of always expanding, of adding new wings. We don’t want anyone to come to this year’s Lollapalooza and be like ‘Oh, I’ve seen this already.’ ”
A three-day-pass can be bought on the Lollapalooza official website, for 130 $.
