whole lolla love

via Ffffound

This weekend marks my 4th year of attending Lollapalooza. It really is one of the Chicago events of the Summer & I look forward to it every year. With 8 different stages & hundreds of amazing acts, the weekend can be quite overwhelming.

This is by no means a fully comprehensive list & I'm certain that I'm missing out on some amazing acts, but here are 10 bands that come highly recommended from yours truly:

The Big Pink -- Dominos

Matt & Kim -- Yea Yeah

Hot Chip -- Ready For The Floor

Chromeo -- Night By Night

The xx -- Islands

Kaskade -- Move For Me

Cut Copy -- Lights & Music

Phoenix -- 1901

The National -- Fake Empire

Arcade Fire -- Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)

Please let me know if you spot a big hole in my list. I'll spend a lot of the day wandering around & hopefully discovering some great new acts, but I appreciate the heads up in advance!

It looks like the weather is supposed to be perfect this weekend too!
