The term Farrell purportedly chose for the festival's name, which means "extraordinarily impressive" in an old phrase.  Even though the term lollapalooza has been around since at least the 1890s, scholars are not sure where it came from. But the phrase is most frequently employed in a way that sounds a lot like doozy. It has occasionally been used in gaming to refer to a fake hand used to trick a less experienced player.

After failing to revive the tour during the 2003–2004 season, Farrell finally made the choice to relaunch the event as a destination festival in Chicago,Yes, as per the reports Chicago was his favorite American city. Since then, it has established itself as a well-known summer custom in the Windy City.
