Tens of thousands of music fans have assembled in Chicago's Grant Park on the shores of Lake Michigan to attend the three-day annual Lollapalooza Festival. Despite increasing clouds late Saturday and the chance for showers on Sunday, lower ticket sales than organizers would have wanted (there are still tickets available on the Lollapalooza website, but no word, of course of how many. Nevertheless, a sea of people have gathered in Chicago for one of the most celebrated music festivals in North America.
For rock and pop music fans, especially those with modern tastes, the dizzing array of artists and bands playing at the festival is overwhelming, and unfortunately conflicting as there are many cases in which popular artists and groups are playing at the same time but on different stages, making it a hard choice for fans. Altogether, there are some 100 performers playing on nine stages for three dog days of summer.
Some of the top billed acts include popular indie and rock artists such as Muse, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, My Morning Jacket, Spoon, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Pete Yorn, Peter Bjorn and John, Regina Spektor, Snow Patrol, Blue October, Paolo Nutini, !!!, Yo La Tengo, Peter Bjorn and John, Annuals, TV on the Radio, MIA, Tokyo Police Club, The Fratellis, Blonde Redhead, LCD Soundsystem, Motion City Sountrack, Stephen Marley and the festival-closer, Pearl Jam.
Note: Check back later when I will provide links to each individual artist playing at the festival in case you missed it, plus official event video, photographs as well as amateur film and photos (even though they are not allowed) and whatever else I can find.
In addition, there will be a listing of upcoming festivals and other concerts of many of the best indie bands as well as those lesser known. There will also be some mainstream rock and pop, but that is of course not the emphasis, thus the name of this site. ;-)
