The American festival Lollapalooza returns to Berlin in 2024. With music, art, food and much more, it attracts thousands of visitors every year.
The Lollapalooza festival concept has been exported to Chile, Argentina and Brazil since 2010. With the "Kidzapalooza" a small festival of its own is planned for families and children.
The first known headliners for the 2024 festival are Shirin David and Sam Smith. Other bands and artists include: The Chainsmokers, OneRepublic, Martn Garrix, Xro, Kenya Grace, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Cro, Meduza, Cloudy June and Burna Boys.
The Kidzapalooza is a special programme for the festival guests between the ages of 0 and 14. On both festival days the Kidzapalooza offers a ball pit, a meadow where kids can crawl, child-friendly performances and workshops for the youngest music fans.
Launched in 1991 by Jane's Addiciton singer Perry Farrell, Lollapalooza takes place every summer in Chicago with more than 160,000 visitors. Traditionally, international top acts like Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nick Cave or Lady Gaga, but also lesser known artists play there. "Lollapalooza is the place where newcomers become legends and return to the legends to prove their fame," said festival founder Farrell.
In 2015 the Lollapalooza celebrated its European premiere at the Tempelhofer Feld. Because refugees were accommodated there, a new place had to be found. In 2016 the second Lollapalooza rose in Berlin. The venue was the Treptower Park in the Alt-Treptow district. In 2017 the Hoppegarten racecourse was the venue for the festival. The subsequent editions of the Festival were celebrated in the Olympic Stadium and Olympiapark.
