Lollapalooza started using a new
format in 2005, as a two-day concert set
to take place in Chicago. The festival
grounds were located in Grant Park,
which is inside the downtown area of the
city. Festival organizers promised the
city skyline of the city as a backdrop
for the show, so it's about as downtown
as downtown can get.
Lollapalooza organizers (which,
by most accounts, still include Perry
Farrell) have given up on the notion
of a traveling festival after 2004's meltdown,
causing the cancellation of the tour.
It seems that the cost of the festival
in past years had grown so large, that
there wasn't enough money left over after
the bills were paid to satisfy Lollapalooza investors.
