New Lollapalooza Docuseries ‘Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza’ Coming in May
’90s music fans rejoice! A documentary on the history of one of the longest-running and most iconic music festivals is coming to Paramount+ in May. Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza highlights the 30-plus-year relationship between the festival and its founder, Jane’s Addiction/Porno For Pyro’s frontman Perry Farrell.
“Finally, someone cares about the generation that no one cared about,” said Farrell. Throughout the three-episode series, Farrell reconnects with what the now-mega event has become and reflects on the festival’s cultural significance since its inception.

The series, produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and FunMeter, in partnership with C3, made its debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. It will cover its inception — when the 1991 music festival was born, it was just supposed to be a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction — and its legacy, explaining how it rose from the underground like a phoenix to launch a cultural movement and change the course of music festivals forever. While it is no longer a touring festival after making its home in Chicago’s Grant Park, it is still alive and well.
