Reported in NME, Lollapalooza’s creator, Perry Farrell talks about bringing his travelling festival to the UK and perhaps Europe.
Perry says, “I’m starting to begin to speak to people in the UK,” he said. “I’m not going to rush it because I want to [bring it over], I’m going to do it because all of a sudden the universe will open up and say, ‘Go over there now! You should go there.’”
He continued: “I just have to go slow. You gotta catch a rhythm. With music, it’s funny, people will ask me a lot of questions about putting on festivals. What they don’t realise is you’re out there in the universe and music’s out there in the universe and you have to hope that the music and you cross paths.”
“With going over to Europe, I just want to make sure that when we go, I’ve got a wonderful line-up and I have the time to do it.”
Lollapalooza 2004 (14th of July to 25th August) has returned for the second year in the US after an absence of several years on the festival circuit there. This year’s fifteen show tour sees bands such as Morrissey, The Pixies (on selected dates), PJ Harvey (selected dates), Flaming Lips, Le Tigre, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Wilco, The Walkmen, Sparta, The Datsuns and many more.
