Lollapalooza

Lolla is in two weekends! Anyone going? I am just going on Sunday, but never been before. Is Grant Park pretty huge... how far away are all the stages? Just wondering, because lots of acts I want to see with overlapping times and on various stages!

Thanks

Jessica

    I was really hoping to go just to see TMOE, Sigur Ros, Black Keys, and a few other random acts but I don't think I'm gonna make it.

    Re: Lollapalooza

    It takes you about 15 minutes to get from reasonable distance at the stage at one end to reasonable distance at the stage at the other. If you're worried about overlapping acts, don't be. Unless it's about 2-3 and the two big fields are packed, you should be fine. Just be prepared to snake around people/trees/other shit and walk pretty quickly, and you'll see all you want to see.

    Also, be prepared for it to be hot as shit. It changes every year what drink they're serving based on sponsors. The one year that they served 20oz tallboy peach iced tea was magical.

    I'm real excited, but whoever did the scheduling blew it big time because lots of great acts playing at the same time.

    Very excited, don't think the headliners are amazing but a lot of good acts. I have a bunch of conflicts but really looking forward to a bunch of bands.

    Going to Passion Pit / Givers on Thursday night, Big Gigantic after-show Saturday night, and all 3 days. Work is going to suck on Monday

    I'm going to Sunday.
    My plan (bold is definitely full set)
    Bombay Bicycle Club >> Trampled by Turtles >> Gary Clark Jr, SIGUR ROS!!!! >> Toro y Moi >> Of Monsters and Men >> At the Drive In >> Florence >> Zeds Dead >> Miike Snow >> Jack White >> Childish Gambino
    Maybe that's unrealistic... I don't know how easy it is to walk around from stage to stage, but that's kind of the schedule I've got in the back of my head. I can't wait, my first Lolla!

    I miss lollapalooza. I went 4 years in a row (07-10) but the lineups got progressively worse until the year gaga headlined and I said "fuck this".

    This year looks decent enough to go but I'm broke . Nothing like a day in downtown Chicago doing nothing but drinking and listening to great music.

    I love GIVERS too! They are streaming tomorrow at 215 CDT from the webcast on YouTube. I can't wait. I just watched The Head and the Heart live and now I'm watching The Shins.
