Lollapalooza, the Chicago-based festival that grew out of the US alternative rock scene, on Thursday announced an expansion to Europe with a first edition next year in Berlin. The move comes amid rapid growth in the world & #039;s music festivals and marks the fourth international edition for Lollapalooza, which also has versions in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Lollapalooza & #039;s founder Perry Farrell, the lead singer of Jane & #039;s Addiction, said that he had long wanted to bring the festival to Europe and pointed to Berlin & #039;s reputation as a hub for up-and-coming artists. & quot;Berlin & #039;s energy, vibrant art, fashion and music scenes are a mirror reflection of what Lollapalooza is all about and I can & #039;t wait to share in this cultural exchange, & quot; Farrell said in a statement.
