With over 5,000 music festivals around, it must be hard for the promoters to try and create a memorable lineup, location and fan experience. Lollapalooza, famously started by Perry Farrell, is probably the most well-known and it has become the flag-bearer in the music festival circuit. I eagerly anticipated the release of the list of bands performing this year. Wilco! Nine Inch Nails! Raconteurs! RADIOHEAD!!!! I was pumped to say the least… And as I kept reading about the under card in this heavyweight fight called Lollapalooza, I was impressed by the promoters’ ability to counter program. One stage would have Kanye West, while the other had NIN or one stage would have Duffy and somewhere on the other side of Grant Park, The Kills would be doing what they do… killing it.

I’ve always found my editor’s request for a “star rating” of a concert’s art and entertainment values to be a rather curious appeal. Is it possible for a show to be imaginative yet dull or enjoyable but aesthetically indifferent? Perhaps both scenarios are possible, although I’ve found the star system to be an arbitrary gage, at best…until now.Write Comment (2 Comments) |

I had to urinate like a bull, racehorse, or like someone who just downed half a gallon of coffee; but there were no escape routes out of the crowd, even twenty minutes before Rage Against the Machine began their set at Lollapalooza. I felt short for once in my life, necking random sweaty shoulders. Write Comment (0 Comments) |
