Description

Perry Farrell, the singer of Jane's Addiction, is said to have been inspired by Bill Graham in his vision to create the traveling festival called Lollapalooza. The headliners toured, and at each tour destination there were multiple stages and arts and crafts booths intended to promote local artists. In the past, festivals were held at a single destination; however, Farrell wanted to bring the experience to major cities across the U.S.

The backstage is a fortress, each inner door demanding a further credential of access. Also known as silkies or satins, backstage passes were the first created insignia of such privilege. WV's collection of passes carry the credentials to get one from the fan-club after-show all the way to center-stage.
