"We want the fans to discover and explore," said Perry Farrell, founder and creator. "That's what Lollapalooza is all about: sounds of all genres swirling about as you walk through the expanse of Grant Park."

An unannounced, specially priced ticket sale for e-list subscribers proved Lollapalooza's buzz quotient, as 3,000 $45 three-day passes sold out in 33 minutes. Three-day passes are now $130.

In addition to five stages of music, the event will "incorporate art, fashion, food, activities for kids, cultural elements and sensory surprises that the Lollapalooza experience is known for," according to a press release.

This year marks the second time that Lollapalooza, which first took place in 1991, will be staged in a single city rather than as a traveling tour. The 2004 edition of Lollapalooza was scrapped due to weak ticket sales.
