Initially meant [as a farewell tour](http://www.latimes.com/ct-janes-addiction-ott-0722-20160719-column.html) for his band, the festival grew into an annual event touring North America with various headliners until 1997\. The festival was later revived in 2003, and since 2005, has been held in Chicago’s Grant Park. In 2011, the first international version of Lollapalooza [debuted in Santiago, Chile](https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2011/01/lollapalooza-chile-announces-2011-lineup.html), featuring Kanye West, the Killers, and appropriately, a since-reunited Jane’s Addiction. In the early 90’s, Lollapalooza looked very different than it does now, although today’s festival still holds some similarities to the original. Influenced by famed concert promotor Bill Graham’s [A Gathering of the Tribes](https://books.google.com/books?id=0-CRODyatJwC&pg=PT331&lpg=PT331&dq=A+Gathering+of+the+Tribes+lollapalooza&source=bl&ots=FNjHLTPo7Y&sig=I3XWAIm53DEW2sCfOzfGefegYcg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiAytiWypvOAhWFWSYKHVKtDxQQ6AEITDAH#v=onepage&q=A%20Gathering%20of%20the%20Tribes%20lollapalooza&f=false) in 1990, aside from Jane’s Addiction, the inaugural lineup featured only eleven bands, including Nine Inch Nails and Ice T’s group Body Count. This year’s Lollapalooza boasts over 170 acts throughout the [course of four days](http://time.com/money/4135166/lollapalooza-2016-tickets-more-expensive-extra-day/). About [300,000 people attended](http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6655948/lollapalooza-draws-300000-to-chicago) the festival last year. What does remain the same: festival attendees enjoying a plethora of acts over a wide array of musical genres. However, Perry Farrell himself was [recently quoted saying](http://pitchfork.com/news/67019-perry-farrell-i-hate-edm/): “I hate EDM… I sometimes cringe at my own festival.”  Red Hot Chili Peppers perform at Lollapalooza in Waterloo Village, N.J., on Aug. 1, 1991.
