With six editions successfully held in Argentina to date, this festival is now circled on the calendars of all Argentinians, representing the perfect opportunity to enjoy high quality cultural, musical and culinary experiences.

The original Lollapalooza festival was first held in Chicago (United States), with the first Argentinian edition taking place in 2014. Since then, this event has given all attendees a set of unforgettable, wonderful experiences.

Lollapalooza is much more than a simple music festival. Besides the several stages and sideshows, it also has a huge and varied selection of delicious food and drink as well as sustainable art exhibitions. The event offers entertainment options for people of all ages, allowing all attendees to have as much fun as possible throughout the three-day festival.

Previous editions have brought household names to the stage, including internationally renowned artists such as Metallica, Eminem, The Killers, Florence and the Machine, Jack White, Lana Del Rey, Lenny Kravitz and Kendrick Lamar, among others.

In 2014, the first edition of Lollapalooza held in Argentina brought in thousands of people through the gates, comprising the first steps of this short but impressive journey. The tickets for the 2019 edition sold out in record time, with 300 thousand people passing through the gates of the Hipódromo de San Isidro over the three days of the festival.
