Lollapalooza 1991: Revisited
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010The word, “Lollapalooza” dates from an American idiom from the late 19th century meaning “one that is extraordinarily impressive.”
What many people do not know is the impact it has had on other bands trying to make their big break. It was created in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Ferrell as a farewell tour for his band (even though they reunited later on).
Bands such as Tool, Primus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and others were known to make their big breaks at this festival over the years.
Check out some footage from Nine Inch Nails from the original festival!
