For those of you lucky enough to have tickets to this weekends Lollapalooza, enjoy! For the rest of us, we will have to sulk around all weekend imagining what we are missing. For the sake of the headliners alone being Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine, it would be worth the trip. Wow, my favorite musical era of the 90’s revisited.
With a hundred plus acts in three days, it could be a nightmare trying to decide who to see, let alone knowing where and when they are playing – Grant Park is HUGE! The forward thinking chaps at Lollapalooza have made life very easy for its attendees: check out this itinerary generator for the show at this location. And if you just want to browse the great acts that you will be missing if you can’t go, check out the band lineup.
