The South American installment of Lollapalooza has been expanded for 2012 to include two festivals in two countries. The second edition of Lollapalooza Chile will take place in O'Higgins Park in Santiago, March 31 April 1, 2012, and the first-ever Lollapalooza Brazil will take place at the Jockey Club in Sγo Paulo, April 7-8, 2012.
Lollapalooza Chile and Lollapalooza Brazil will both welcome the Foo Fighters, Arctic Monkeys, Skrillex, Calvin Harris, MGMT, TV On The Radio, Bassnectar, Band of Horses, Thievery Corporation, Peaches, Cage the Elephant, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Friendly Fires, Foster the People and Tinie Tempah.
Fresh from triumphing over the elements with this year's Lollapalooza U.S. headline set of a lifetime, Foo Fighters are sure to turn equally dynamic main stage closing sets in both Brazil and Chile-- performances that will mark the Foos' first trip ever in Chile as well as their first Brazilian appearance in over a decade.
Festivalgoers in Chile will experience rare treats with Bjork and Avicii, as well as an eclectic collection of bands including progressive rockers Los Jaivas, the socially conscious Juana Fe, punk rock giant BBS Paranoicos, and the Chilean revelation of rockorgαnico, Camila Moreno.
