Lollapalooza Wrap Up!!

August 11, 2010 | posted by Tom Windish

This weekend was a great one in Chicago. Lollapalooza was a massive success! There was an incredible energy and excitement throughout the entire festival and so many memorable moments in music. We will be posting some great highlights throughout the week. Check out our first few:

Dirty Projectors stunned the audience with their intricate melodies and incredible vocal harmonies. Time Out wrote, "the back-up singing was the highlight of the show. Like the rest of the band’s musical elements, these vocals were strange, yet beautiful, in a Thom Yorke sort of way."

Pitchfork wrote that Fuck Buttons were the most unique band to grace the stage, saying that they "were an anomalous booking, a rare band among this weekend's hundreds...their sample-based sonic assault felt deliciously weird."

Hot Chip rocked lots of material off their new record and got the crowd super amped up and dancing before headliner Lady Gaga.
