Brazil - What began in 1991 as a farewell tour for the band Jane’s Addiction, Lollapalooza quickly transformed into one of the most influential music festivals in the world. Anchored in Chicago, where it remains a defining summer event, Lollapalooza has expanded across four continents, bringing diverse line-ups and unforgettable experiences to audiences in Argentina, Brazil, Germany, France, Sweden, Israel, and India. Its South American journey began in 2011, further cementing its status as a global music powerhouse.
The 2025 Brazilian edition, held from 28-30 March in São Paulo, once again proved why it’s one of South America’s premier music festivals. Headlined by Olivia Rodrigo, Rüfüs Du Sol, Shawn Mendes, Alanis Morissette, Justin Timberlake, and Tool, Lollapalooza Brasil delivered an electrifying weekend of music across multiple stages. To ensure every performance reached the audience with clarity and impact, São Paulo-based Gabisom Audio Equipment deployed an Outline sound system at the Perry’s Stage.
For the second consecutive year, the Perry’s Stage featured Outline’s GTO and GTO C-12 line-array systems, managed by Gabisom’s team. Danilo Costa, one of Gabisom’s sound system engineers, shared insights into this year’s setup:
"It's the second year of the Outline GTO and GTO C-12 at Lollapalooza's Perry’s Stage. This time, I’ve got nine GTOs and nine GTO C-12s on each hang (LL + L + R + RR), plus an LLL with 12 Superfly boxes. We also had 44 Outline DBS 18-2 subs and eight Mantas 28 for front-fills. The sound was incredible. The subs' configuration is an end-fire setup with digital arc delay, covering 120m in width and 170m in depth. As always, our Newtons made managing the complex setup effortless, ensuring precise control throughout."
He added: "Once again, the GTO proved its unmatched capability, effortlessly delivering every sonic detail with absolute precision. It’s like having a high-end studio monitor on a massive scale – every nuance is there, uncoloured and intact, but with the sheer power and headroom needed for a festival of this magnitude. Working with this system is both exciting and reassuring because you know it will perform flawlessly every time."
