We hope to bring you interesting information on how this great concert was created. A lot of you ( yes including me ) had no idea that Perry Farrell, with past titles as lead singer from Janes Addition and Porno for Pyros is a big part of one of the most happening outdoor music festivals in the world.
Founder of the Lollapalooza Festival, Perry Farrell has led rock audiences down some mighty interesting roads and elevated their consciousness along the way.

I don’t know about you folks but in my eyes it’s creative rare people like Farrell that always can spice a room up. Music and art is what brings color and life. We need more people who love music and art and that will give of their talents to bring joy to a somewhat mundane society.
We hope to bring you much more interesting tidbits on this creative genius in future blogs and issues.
