Headed to Chicago for Lollapalooza 2013? If so, you’re about to enter a powerful music scene, on par with its reputation for heart-attack-inducing pizzas and organized crime. In addition to hosting one of the world’s biggest music festivals each year, tons of side shows and aftershows in town will play host to artists looking for a little extra stage time over festival weekend.
Lollapalooza 2013 Spotify Playlist
Lollapalooza, which runs Aug. 2-4 in Chicago’s Grant Park, has more than 45 official shows on the list – a welcome sight for music addicts torn by scheduling conflicts on the bill. Below you’ll find our selections for the best musical bet each day. Below that, you’ll find the full list of options for aftershows in Chicago over Lollapalooza weekend! Conspicuously missing, however, is Thursday’s show at the Metro featuring Queens of The Stone Age. With good reason as well – the show sold out in a matter of seconds. But you can bet your sweet deep-dish Chicago pie that we’ll be there with bells on…
