The concert will take place in Brazil for the first time next year on April 7 and 8 in the Jockey Club de Sao Paulo. It will also make a return trip to Santiago de Chile on March 31 and April 1. The festival founder Perry Farrell said in a statement, "Brazilians have a rich history of the celebration. If (Lolla) can rub them, who knows what heights the party will come."
