Porno For Pyros (Mike Watt included) did an acoustic backyard set for their first public performance in 24 years, and Perry was also interviewed by Matt Pinfield beforehand.
The four-day virtual fests includes archival footage of Paul McCartney, LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire, Metallica, The Cure, Run the Jewels, Alabama Shakes, Tyler the Creator, and Pearl Jam, among others, as well as a Porno for Pyros reunion and more.
Mike Watt recently said he filmed four songs with the reunited Porno For Pyros, and now the band's first public ”appearance” in over two decades has been confirmed.
The virtual edition of Lollapalooza will also include a Porno For Pyros reunion, archival footage of sets from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Run the Jewels, Lorde, Alabama Shakes, Chance the Rapper, OutKast, Arcade Fire, other new performances and more.
Sonic Youth, Einstürzende Neubauten, The Minutemen, Meat Puppets and more feature in this documentary about a creative collective who put on wild, very DIY shows in the California desert in the mid-'80s.
The virtual event will feature ”performances from around the city and beyond, epic archival sets from Chicago and the festival's six international editions, never-before-seen footage from the 1990s and much more.“
