According to the press release, Lollapalooza Stockholm will feature four music stages, art exhibitions, culinary selections and much more. The line-up for the festival’s inaugural edition as well as info about tickets will be revealed later in 2018.

“It takes years of research and planning to determine the right cities to host Lollapalooza, and we never take the decision lightly. With its incredible culture, vibrant music scene and beautiful green spaces, Stockholm proved to be an ideal city to add to our growing international family,” said C3 Presents’ Charles Attal in a release.

Created by Perry Farrell in 1991 as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction, Lollapalooza grew to be one of the most recognizable annual music festivals in the world. Since 2010, the festival branched outside the United States with five international editions in Santiago (Chile), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Berlin (Germany) and Paris (France).

Due to health complications, Avicii announced he was retiring from music in 2016. He experienced health problems due to excessive heavy drinking.

In the 2017 Netflix documentary Avicii: True Stories, Avicii said he knew he would die if he continued performing.

“I have told them this. I won’t be able to play anymore. I have said, like, ‘I’m going to die.’ I have said it so many times,” he said in the documentary, which dropped in October. “And so I don’t want to hear that I should entertain the thought of doing another gig.”

He also revealed he was not happy with the reception which he received after announcing his retirement.

“I have been very open with everyone I work with, and everyone who knows me. Everyone knows that I’ve had anxiety and that I have tried. I did not expect that people would try to pressure me into doing more gigs. They have seen how ill I have felt by doing it, but I had a lot of push-back when I wanted to stop doing gigs.”

Avicii, whose real name is Tim Bergling, achieved stardom throughout the world following the release of the 2011 hit “Levels.”

During his career, he went on to notch up 11 billion streams on Spotify and also became the first EDM DJ to stage a worldwide arena tour.

He was also nominated for two Grammy Awards and had nine UK top 10 singles, two of which rose to number 1.

It is still uncertain what was the cause of Avicii’s death, but he retired from music two years ago following health complications.

The DJ was known to have been suffering from pancreatitis which was caused due to heavy alcohol consumption. He once even said during an interview: “Drinking became routine for me, but it’s impossible to keep up touring and drinking at the same time, because you are going to crash.”

Nicky Romero, who worked with Avicii on the track “I Could Be The One,” said: “He was more of the musician in the studio than the guy that wants to be on stage, tour the world.

“I never really thought that he was super enjoying his DJ sets. It felt like he wanted to do it but he didn’t want to feel the pressure of it or be the guy that’s in the spotlight in front of thousands and thousands of people.”

Artists who have expressed their sadness online include Liam Payne, Martin Garrix, Madonna, Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris and Humble.
