Several of the artists, including Green Day
and Cypress Hill
, skipped at least one Lollapalooza tour date in order to appear at Woodstock '94
instead.
(During Woodstock '94
, a security guard mistook bassist Mike Dirnt
of Green Day for a stage-invading fan and punched out some of his teeth. Green Day did not perform in Miami) (Green Day held the opening slot for the show in Atlanta, flying to New York immediately afterwards.) Nirvana
was scheduled to headline but officially pulled out on April 4, 1994, amid strong rumors that the band was on the verge of breaking up. Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain
was found dead in Seattle, Washington the following day. Cobain's widow, Courtney Love
, made surprise guest appearances at several shows, speaking to the crowds about the loss.
