Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza is a three-part docuseries directed by Michael John Warren, tracing the festival’s 30-year run from its early days as a touring punk event to its current iteration as a massive annual bash at Chicago’s Grant Park.
In addition to Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell, the docuseries will feature interviews with 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, Chance the Rapper, and more.
“When Lolla was 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 pumped new life into the live music experience and set the foundation for the youth’s counter culture to become important and exciting again. Now more than three decades young, I am happy to have this opportunity to give people an inside look at the festival’s contribution to music history.”
The docuseries will premiere on Paramount+ in the US and Canada on 21 May, and in the UK, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria on 22 May.
