What started in 1991 as a small farewell tour for Perry Farrell and Jane’s Addiction has since become one of the world’s foremost music festivals: Lollapalooza. And in a new Paramount+ docuseries titled Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza, the rock star and his peers are giving an oral history of how it all went down — as teased in the project’s new trailer, which Billboard is exclusively premiering.
From ’90s rockers to hip-hop stars, Lolla gathers many of the visionaries who were involved in some of the very first Lollapalooza tours. “It felt like a revolution,” Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails recalls in the trailer, speaking on the festival’s beginnings as an anti-establishment, for-the-people musical melting pot.
Trending on Billboard
“We had all been underground bands, but that was changing,” adds Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Flea, while Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello tells the camera, “That was the Declaration of Independence of the alternative nation.”
As time went on, Lollapalooza kept innovating — and in doing so, its own popularity began to overshadow its underground roots. “When the car’s going real, real fast, it gets harder and harder to jump out,” Farrell remarks in the trailer. “We were a victim of our own success.”
Also featured in the project are Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Ice-T and Chicago native Chance the Rapper, who muses in the new clip, “Lolla picks great people [to perform] when no one’s heard of them.”
Lolla is also sure to feature old and recent footage of Lollapalooza performances through the years, with clips of Green Day, Billie Eilish, Marshmello and dozens of more acts appearing in the trailer. Now a global phenomenon with annual offshoots in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Sweden and India, Lollapalooza was the first festival to mix genres on its billing, expand to multiple days and introduce a second stage. This year, the event will be headlined in August by SZA, Tyler, the Creator, Blink-182, The Killers and more.
Directed by Michael John Warren, the three-part series drops exclusively on Paramount+ May 21. It first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in January.

Mariah The Scientist can sing but apparently, she can also throw hands. She is alleged to put the beats on a woman in Atlanta.
As reported on TMZ a woman named Cleopatra Dues filed a police report at Zone 2 precinct that the “Stone Cold” performer assaulted her on Monday, April 29. She alleges Mariah The Scientist ran up on her, attacked her, dragged her on the floor and ripped her wig off in the process. The “female grabbed her by her wig and pulled the wig off her head,” then “proceeded to drag her on the table and floor” the police report read. Dues claims she suffered injuries at the hands of the singer; specifically “bruises and cuts” and “visible bodily harm.” The incident took place at Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge; a restaurant located in the Buckhead section of Atlanta.
Customers at the venue took video of a woman snatching someone’s wig off but it is unclear if it was indeed Mariah The Scientist. The singer songwriter was arrested on Wednesday, May 1 on misdemeanor battery and simple battery charges. According to Fulton County Sheriff’s Office she posted a $5,000 bond and has since been released. Mariah The Scientist has been ordered to have no contact with the victim and not patronize Cavo Kitchen and Cocktail Lounge.
Mariah The Scientist is believed to be the girlfriend of Young Thug. You can see footage of the alleged incident below.
