Lollapalooza Argentina is at it again. The mega-festival founded by Perry Farrell in 1991, as a traveling event, is an innovator in festival culture 25 years later. That was the first festival that brought together artists from a wide range of musical genres on one date, it was the first to travel, the first to extend to several days, the first to introduce the second stage.
In addition, he was a pioneer in mixing art and activism, as well as the first person to offset his carbon emissions, and put electronic music artists on the main stage. The music festival experience has definitely changed.
Lollapalooza is a true socio-cultural phenomenon with heavy family programming, where everyone enjoys a unique event.
The famous Lollapalooza has expanded into a premier annual festival in Chicago since 2005, and has made its mark in culturally diverse countries such as Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, France, Sweden, the United States and India.
Now, as the countdown has begun, we prepare for the next edition of this megafestival, which is seen as one of the most relevant events on the country’s cultural agenda.
This year, the #LollaAR application will allow it to be used without the need for an internet connection, allowing the public to access the schedules and create their own personal agenda of shows without using data, as well as receive alerts to relevant information about the festival.
The festival transforms the San Isidro Hippodrome into the center of music and art during the weekend of March 15 to 17, celebrating the event’s ninth edition. In addition to the main programs, an incredible variety of side shows will be offered before and after the main weekend at the racecourse.
With notable artists such as Blink-182, Feid, SZA, Sam Smith, Arcade Fire and Limp Bizkit topping the bill, the festival offers a wide range of talent spanning a variety of musical genres.
From established artists to promising up-and-comers, from international stars to Argentinian legends, the Hipódromo becomes a musical city with 4 high-level stages and electronic music areas.
