BookMyShow said: “Following a philosophy of ‘Mix the music, generations, Reunite the most advanced music experts and a Neophyte public’, Lollapalooza India aims to bring together music aficionados across genres, entertainment enthusiasts, global and Indian audiences that are seeking marquee, unique experiences at par with international standards. Amongst the boldest, brightest, most colourful and diverse festivals around the world, Lollapalooza is a festival that offers everyone something to take back home through its music, ethos, vibe and unparalleled experience.”
Founded in the USA in 1991, Lollapalooza has grown into an annual festival in Chicago and has expanded to Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France and Sweden.
Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell said earlier this year: “The music of India is transcendental, it draws our spirits East. Lollapalooza is an instrument for unity, peace, and education utilising the universal languages of music and art to find common ground.”
