‘Lolla’ Doc Captures How Lollapalooza Went From Underground Tour to Global Phenomenon: Trailer Premiere


A 'Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza' documentary is headed to Paramount+. Watch the exclusive trailer premiere.

“We had all been underground bands, but that was changing,” adds Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Flea, while Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello tells the camera, “That was the Declaration of Independence of the alternative nation.” Also featured in the project are Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Ice-T and Chicago native Chance the Rapper, who muses in the new clip, “Lolla picks great people [to perform] when no one’s heard of them.” Now a global phenomenon with annual offshoots in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Sweden and India, Lollapalooza was the first festival to mix genres on its billing, expand to multiple days and introduce a second stage.
