(Stockholm, Sweden – May 30, 2018)
Lollapalooza is pleased to announce the latest addition to its global
family with Lollapalooza Stockholm, taking place June 28-29, 2019 at
Gärdet, a beautiful park in the heart of Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm
becomes the sixth international edition of the world-class festival,
alongside Santiago, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Berlin and Paris. The
inaugural Lollapalooza Stockholm will feature four stages, innovative
culinary selections, art, and much more. A complete lineup and ticket
information will be released later this year.
“The historic Gärdet and the iconic festival Lollapalooza are the perfect
match. For decades we have been wanting to do a really big festival in
Stockholm and we are very honored and excited to do this together with
Charles Attal and his team at C3 Presents,” said Thomas Johansson, Chairman
International Music, Live Nation. “Welcome to Stockholm, Lollapalooza!”
“It takes years of research and planning to determine the right cities to
host Lollapalooza, and we never take the decision lightly. With its
incredible culture, vibrant music seen and beautiful green spaces,
Stockholm proved to be an ideal city to add to our growing international
family. We are fortunate and honored to partner with Anna Sjolund, Thomas
Johansson and their team, who are highly respected around the world as some
of the best promoters in the business,” said Charles Attal, Partner, C3
Presents.
Lollapalooza Stockholm is produced by Perry Farrell, WME, C3 Presents and
Live Nation Sweden with their subsidiary company Luger – the award-winning
organization behind Swedish festivals such as Way Out West and Åre
Sessions.

About Lollapalooza
Launched by founder Perry Farrell in 1991 as a touring festival,
Lollapalooza remains an innovator in festival culture 27 years later.
Lollapalooza was the first festival to bring together artists from a wide
range of musical genres on one bill, it was also the first to travel, the
first to expand to multiple days, the first to introduce a second stage,
the first to blend art and activism, the first to offset its carbon
emissions, the first to put electronic dance music artists on the main
stage, the first to create family friendly programming, the first to make
its home in an urban city center and the first to expand internationally.
Lollapalooza has grown into an annual world-class festival in Chicago, as
well as culturally rich countries including Chile, Argentina, Brazil,
Germany and France. Lollapalooza is one of the premier destinations both
for music fans in the United States and abroad. The festival expanded to
four days in 2016 in celebration of 25 years and continues to bring fans
