Lollapalooza to Hit Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2012

As we head into Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago, we have some news about Lollapalooza in 2012. This year, Lollapalooza expanded outside of it’s comfy home in Grant Park in Chicago to head to nearby location (sarcasm!) Santiago, Chile, in April. Yahoo News reports that Lollapalooza will return to Santiago, Chile, but will also swing by Sao Paulo, Brazil in 2012.

“The festival will be held next year March 31 to April 1 at O’Higgins Park in Santiago and then April 7-8 at the Jockey Club in Sao Paulo before the summertime concert moves back to the northern hemisphere August 3-5, 2012 in Chicago.”

Farrell said he has no interest in returning Lollapalooza to its roots as a touring festival that stops at amphitheaters across the United States. He is committed to hosting the event in Chicago until 2018.
