We’re catching a plane to Chicago for our annual pilgrimage to Grant Park, this time to catch Eminem, Portugal. The Man, Chvrches, Arctic Monkeys and more at Lollapalooza 2014. With OutKast, Nas, Broken Bells and Childish Gambino filling out just a corner of the dymanic lineup this year, there’s a great deal for music lovers of any gear to dig into.
Lolla Survival Guide: Rock, Rain & Sweat in Chicago
Over its Aug. 1-3 run, Lollapalooza is expected to once again reach capacity of 100,000 for each day to see 130 bands and artists perform on eight stages. In our final Lollapalooza preview video, we cover new technologies allowing festivalgoers to go cashless at the event with their wristbands, how Lolla lovers can show their love of the festival with some badass new gear and more. We’re also giving you one last reminder on booking your hotels – you don’t want to be too close to the action, where prices get out of control, but you’re also going to want to bear distance in mind given how unbelievably hot it gets in Chicago in August.
