Lollapalooza 2009


Similar to what you would call a modern day Woodstock, Lollapalooza has become an infamous icon in the music industry. Begining in 2005 with a little over 40 opening acts, Lollapalooza quickly grew over 75 acts the follow year. Lolla has been securing quality acts, five years in a row, whether it be an independent artist with large internet fan base or a platinum saling artist.

Continuing in it's 5th annual year, Lollapalooza stays true to it's home of Chicago. Tickets coud run you $85, $95 or even $100 a day depending on date of ticket purchase. You could secure a 3-day pass from anywhere $240- $300. Now during the advance pass promotion you could buy your 3-day pass @ the amazing price $190 with no processing fees.
