Lollapalooza, which celebrates its twentieth anniversary this weekend, has gone through many incarnations over the last two decades. Originally conceived byPerry Farrell as the farewell tour for his band Jane’s Addiction in 1991, it grew to define the grunge milieu of the mid-nineties–launching the careers of Nine Inch Nails, Hole, and Green Day, as well as more left-field acts like the gruesome Jim Rose Circus Sideshow. Then, after going on hiatus in 1997, it returned in 2003 as a platform for big-scale, early-aughties alternative outfits like the nu-metal supergroup Audioslave and the now re-formed Jane’s Addiction. After switching from a tour to a three-day event (held in Chicago’s Grant Park) in 2004, Lollapalooza finally found its feet and became what it is today: a glorious mix of big-name crowd-pullers—such as this year’s headliners Eminem, Coldplay, and Foo Fighters—as well as up-and-coming indie darlings like Arctic Monkeys and Crystal Castles.

how adorable is this playlist Vogue created as a teaser for Lalapalooza. I can't go to the actual show, but i lay on my deck with my head phones on a pretend. I have faux grass and the puppies can walk all over me as i pretend i'm in a mosh pit. do they even have those anymore?
