Autodesk Multimedia ===================================== Electric Carnival at Lollapalooza There's a traveling road show of digital marvels criss-crossing the country this summer, and it's coming to a town near you. The Electric Carnival is a featured attraction at Lollapalooza '94's Mind Field. Lollapalooza is a concert tour founded in 1990 to showcase the best in alternative rock. For the past four years, the festival has presented numerous prominent alternative bands, a second stage of local bands, and a front of the house area with additional attractions.
