LOLLAPALOOZA 2012

It’s one of the biggest music festivals ever accomplished in Chile and the world, and it’s here to stay. Created 20 years ago by Perry Ferrel, leader of the band Jane’s Addiction, the festival takes place for the second time in Chile. The last version of the festival was also performed in Chile, being Santiago the city chosen for this honor, due to it was the first time Lollapalooza was exported outside USA.

The 2012 version comes full of varied artists: Foo Fighters (created by the ex-drummer of Nirvana, Dave Grohl), the Icelandic and famous singer Björk, the indie rock band Arctic Monkeys and the psychedelic band MGMT, just to name a few. The national repertory is also a mixture of genres, you’ll be able to experience de performance of artists like Los Jaivas and Electrodomésticos, both very important for Chilean music. Newcoming artists such as Föllakzoid and We are the grand will also make their appearance, just like Fernando Milagros and El sueño de la casa propia. The list is endless, just like the fun and activities that will bring Lollapalooza 2012 to your musical experiences.
