Saturday, Aug. 6 – Bud Light Stage, 6:00 p.m.
There are so many great bands to choose from and while ultimately scheduling is going to shatter my dreams of seeing every band I’ve marked on my line-up, Ween has to be one of the top priorities. They’ve been around a while and I still have not ever seen Ween live. Time to change this.

Boy & Bear, I can’t get enough of this band. Beyond stoked to see the kids from Down Under bring it in front of a huge crowd in Chicago. I wrote about them a couple weeks ago and featured their single “Feeding Line” off their upcoming debut album Moon Fire which get this, drops August 5 (August 9 in the states) when Lollapalooza begins. How’s that for a way to celebrate!

Friday, Aug. 5, Sony Stage, 5:00 p.m.
Another band I’ve been dying to see live, Two Door Cinema Club. I love their indie-pop/electro/rock combination. From their thieving guitar sound and Alex Trimble’s vocals, you just have to say to yourself, ‘wow.’
Not that this should be what you base it on but TDCC are part of the incredible growing line-up on Glassnote Records (Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, GIVERS, Temper Trap, etc.), not bad company for the Irish Trio to be associated with.

Saturday, Aug. 6, Music Unlimited Stage, 12:45 p.m.
This is one show you’ll want to get to the festival early for. Hands down one of the top performances at Bonnaroo earlier this summer, Walk The Moon, put on an energetic, electric set from start to finish. Riding high on the release of i want! i want! and the lead single “Anna Sun,” the quartet from Ohio are primed and ready to break it big.
And get the face paint ready (you’ll figure it out!).

Sunday, Aug. 7, Bud Light Stage, 1:00 p.m.
Another rising act in the States that I’m excited to see, The Joy Formidable. The Welsh trio tore up SXSW earlier this year and if all the hype I’ve heard surrounding their live shows is true, they should do the same at Lollapalooza.

Now that we are single digit days away from the 20th Anniversary of Lollapalooza I’m going to highlight some artists I’m excited to see and try to keep it different from artists who were on the Bonnaroo countdown but that may be a little too hard with a few of them.
Here’s “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now)” by Portugal. The Man off the new record In the Mountain in the Cloud.

One of my favorite songs in honor of the DMB Caravan kicking off in Chicago today. Oh how I wish I was there.

The last few weeks I have been giving Cults‘ self titled album a bunch of spins and it keeps growing on me more and more. The Brooklyn duo have a retro indie-pop sound that is very soothing and perfect chill disc for the summer. Want another reason to listen, they are going on tour with Foster The People this fall.
