Lollapalooza Chile: The Killers, JaneÂ’s, Kanye, Fatboy

CHICAGO FEST GOES TO SOUTH AMERICA

The Killers

The lineup for the inaugural Lollapalooze Chile has been announced. 50-plus acts will perform on five stages at the two-day festival set to happen Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 in O’Higgins Park, Santiago, Chile.

“The job we did to gather these artists for 2011 was remarkable,” says fest co-organizer Perry Farrell. “Imagine gathering 60 artists while the contract ink is still wet. We put it together at a record pace as we had four months. We did not want to come to Chile with a lineup that was anything other than world-class, and my partners Marc Geiger of WME and Charles Attal of C3 have been absolutely integral to Lollapalooza Chile launching in 2011. Our selections are very animated, with much diversity. There is Chilean talent in the mix. Now that the lineup is announced here, we are going back to Chile to work on the other aspects of the festival. Our ambition is to plant a very strong seed in Chile, one that will grow over the years, and provide Santiago with an event for the ages.”

Available now for the festival are general two-day passes for $110 presale, $136 then $152; Lolla Lounge two-day VIP passes for $320 presale then $380; And beginning February 11, general admission single day tickets for $72 presale then $84 and VIP passes for $240. All passes can be purchased here.

There are also a variety of travel packages from North America available here and here.
