For last year’s 10-year celebration of Lollapalooza in its current incarnation, headliners included Eminem, Skrillex, Kings of Leon and Arctic Monkeys.
Lollapalooza was originally conceived and created back in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell as a farewell tour for his band. The festival ran annually until 1997, and was revived in 2003.
