Lollapalooza Festival - 12 & 13 July 2025

The original Lollapalooza festival started in Chicago’s Grant Park in 1991 – you may remember its parody in The Simpsons episode “Homerpalooza” – and it wasn’t until 2010, with the worldwide festival revival, that it debuted outside the U.S. In Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and since 2016 in Berlin.  

Festival founder Perry Farrell said, “I want there to be art on the ground because Berlin is known for its artists…You will see very young teenagers, children, and older people at Lollapalooza. Everybody is there, nobody looks at each other funny and nobody feels awkward.” Sounds like it complements Berlin’s ethos pretty well.
