As Lollapalooza gears up for another huge weekend in Chicago, with performances by Paul McCartney, Metallica, Bassnectar, The Weeknd, Alt-J, Alabama Shakes, Florence + the Machine and so many more, the festival has just announced its expansion to yet another country. Lollapalooza Colombia will hit Parque Simón Bolivar in Bogota in October of 2016.
The offshoot joins a list of international outposts of the multi-genre festival that includes Chile, Brazil, Argentina and most recently Berlin.
“We have had the ambition to bring Lollapalooza to Colombia for some time now, and have found partners who are true professionals and share our passion for the music,” says Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell. “Fans in Colombia have a true love of alternative music and we are excited for the rest of the world to find out what we already know about this wonderful country.”
