Lollapalooza, the Chicago-based festival that grew out of the US alternative rock scene, on Thursday announced an expansion to Europe with a first edition next year in Berlin. The move comes amid rapid growth in the world's music festivals and marks the fourth international edition for Lollapalooza, which also has versions in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Lollapalooza's founder Perry Farrell, the lead singer of Jane's Addiction, said that he had long wanted to bring the festival to Europe and pointed to Berlin's reputation as a hub for up-and-coming artists. "Berlin's energy, vibrant art, fashion and music scenes are a mirror reflection of what Lollapalooza is all about and I can't wait to share in this cultural exchange," Farrell said in a statement.
