Lollapalooza 2007 music festival

April 12th, 2007 | Music Guru | Music Festival

Lollapalooza was conceived and executed by former Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell in 1991. Originally a touring festival, Lolla began to lose popularity by the late 90s and the 1998 shows were cancelled altogether. In 2003 it was revived as a destination festival. Lollapalooza music festival features alternative rock, hip hop, and punk rock bands, dance and comedy performances, and craft booths.

StrikeFest will again take place in Grant Park, Chicago, for the first of a five year contract signed between Lollapalooza and the city. It will take place between August 3-5. Early bird tickets went on sale this year for $165. Tickets were not subject to a service fee and have an optional shipping charge if you desire hard copies of tickets. The standard price of the tickets this year is $195 (without service charges.)
