About this episode

In the summer of 1991, the first ever Lollapalooza festival brought a seven act, nine hour alternative music spectacle to 23 cities across North America

Lollapalooza was the hottest event of the summer and it set the blueprint for traveling music festivals that would dominate the rest of the decade.

On this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the traveling summer music festival from Lollapalooza to Lilith Fair.
