Paramount+ has just released the official trailer for the new three-episode documentary series “Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza,” which will debut exclusively on the streaming service on Wednesday, May 22.
Conceived and created in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell as a farewell tour for his band, Lollapalooza lasted until 1997 and was revived in 2003. Since its inception, and following its revival in 2003, the festival toured North America.
In 2004, the festival’s organizers decided to extend its run to two days per city, but poor ticket sales forced the cancellation of the 2004 tour. In 2005, Farrell and the William Morris Agency renewed the festival in its current format, as a fixed event. in Grant Park in Chicago.
In 2010 Lollapalooza began its internationalization, with an event in Santiago, Chile. From that moment on, other Latin American countries, such as Argentina and Brazil, entered the circuit. Since then, the festival is usually held in early autumn in the country and since 2014 it has been held at the Autódromo de Interlagos, in São Paulo.
“Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza” portrays the symbiotic and emotional relationship, spanning more than 30 years, between the iconic festival and Perry Farrell. Over the course of the series, Farrell reconnects with the event’s roots and reflects on the cultural importance of the festival across genres and decades.
Directed by multiple Emmy nominee Michael John Warren (“Jay-Z’s Fade to Black”), the series had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
