Paramount+ presented the trailer for a new documentary about the Lollapalooza which tells the story of the iconic music festival born in Chicago.
Directed by Michael Warren (Fade to Black by Jay-Z), Lolla: The History of Lollapalooza is a three-part documentary series that gives insight into the creation of the music festival of Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction) and its 30 years spanning from a traveling punk event to the annual music party in Chicago’s Grant Park and beyond.

“When I started Lollapalooza, it was a farewell for Jane’s Addiction,” Farrell said in the trailer. Along with the Porno For Pyros frontman, the docu-series will feature interviews with people like Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, Lars Ulrich of Metallica, Ice-T and more.
Details about the documentary were shared in February of last year. “When Lolla launched in 1991, the concert industry felt like a boring car ride that was running out of gas,” Farrell said at the time in a statement.
He continued: “We breathed new life into the live music experience and laid the foundation for youth counterculture to become important and exciting again. Now, more than three decades young, I’m happy to have this opportunity to give people an inside look at the festival’s contribution to music history.”
Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza will premiere on Paramount+ on May 22.
