Lollapalooza Going Global?

Perry Farrell is looking to possibly take his Lollapalooza show back on the road after being in a static location that last few years. When Farrell founded the festival, Lollapalooza started off as a successful traveling show, but sputtered when it returned from a a six year hiatus. After the 2004 tour was cancelled due to low ticket sales, Lollapalooza set up shop in Austin for a year before landing in its current location in Chicago. The home base approached seems to have worked and the festival has returned to being one of the biggest in the U.S. However, Farrell apparently is growing restless.

Farrell looked reinvigorated during this year's SXSW festival, performing a surprise jam with Tom Morello and Slash as well as leading his Satellite Party in a triumphant set at Stubbs. That energy has Farrell reportedly thinking of taking Lollapalooza international.

He tells MTV News, "I'm going to look to take it global. I want to put together an event around the world in the next 10 years that will refashion, redress and transform. I like the idea of being outdoors. It's something I'm looking into now, and if it happens, it will happen quick. That's my ambition."

For now Lollapalooza remains in Chicago. But, don't be surprised if you don't at least see a UK version popping up soon as the outdoor festival is staple of the UK and European music scene.
