One Month Til Lollapalooza!



ITS OFFICIALLY ONE MONTH TIL LOLLAPALOOZA!! Sorry for the all-caps enthusiasm but I’m just that excited! Why? Because exactly one month from today we’ll all be watching Bassnectar, Nero, Porter Robinson, Madeon, and Zedd tearing up Perry’s Tent!! And I’m sure that more than a few of you are looking forward to non-perry’s players Passion Pit, M83, and SBTRKT.

As for Friday’s aftershows, you could either see Madeon and Porter Robinson destroy The Mid (seriously, I’m worried they’re gonna tear the place to the ground) or Nero and Die Antwoord at the Congress (I’ll be at the latter since I’ll be missing Die Antwoord in favor of Madeon at Lolla).

Expect Bassnectar’s set to be packed and f***ing CRAZY! His last show in Chicago (at the Congress) sold out quicker than any other show on his tour. Why? Because Chicago is packed with more Bassheads than any other city!

But unfortunately some tough choices will have to be made (depending on what you’re into of course). If you like Passion Pit, be prepared to choose between them and Porter Robinson as well as getting a decent spot for Nero as they go 15 minutes into their set. Although no one looks forward to making choices like these it’s something we’ve come to expect from Lollapalooza. Year after year they put artists with similar fan bases against each other and sometimes it almost seems like they’re trying to make it as hard for you as possible. I’m sure that’s not what they’re doing but it sure feels like it!

Anyway, I hope you all have a kick ass time at the opening day of Lolla in ONE F%#$ING MONTH!!!
