　　From the eighteenth century and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart we fast-forward to alternative rock, hip-hop and punk. These can all be found at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois.

　　Perry Farrell, lead singer for Jane's Addiction, started Lollapalooza in nineteen ninety-one. At first, the show traveled across North America and was meant to be the band's final tour. But since then, Lollapalooza has taken place every year except for a five-year break.

　　Lollapalooza will run from August seventh to the ninth. The bands this year include the Decemberists and the Killers, as well as new acts like the Virgins and White Lies. Also on the lineup is a reunited Jane's Addiction. Here from the best of Jane's Addiction is "Summertime Rolls."

　　(MUSIC: "SUMMERTIME ROLLS")

　　VOICE ONE:

　　The first outdoor jazz festival in the United States took place fifty-five years ago in Newport, Rhode Island. Over the years, the Newport Jazz Festival presented greats like Miles Davis, Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald.
