1. Lollapalooza started on a burst of good-weather energy.
2. In all fairness, it started out as the quintessential Chicago summer America loves.
3. The venue, too, was all kinds of beautiful.
4. And the crowd was ready for all kinds of music!
5. And of course they would be, going by the slate of stars that would make their way to the Lolla stages soon.
6. The result of the wait was some brilliant music, and classic stage moments. Like this giant-esque portrait of Marina and The Diamonds.
7. Or this brilliant in-moment capture of MS MR’s Lizzy Plapinger.
8. The crowd was having its share of mighty fun too.
9. But the highlight was when the musicians came close, literally. Like this moment with Kevin McKeown of Black Pistol Fire.
10. Who then went on to crowd surf, while still strumming his guitar.
11. Speaking of guitar strumming, who can forget Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard!
12. Her powerful stage presence literally made the entire show worth it.
13. Speaking of being worth-it, most musicians helped the audience have their time of a lifetime. Like when Twenty One Pistols delivered a beauty of a set.
14. Or when Gogol Bordello performed purely to the crowd’s delight.
15. The result were some classic performing moments, like this with Florence + The Machine
16. Or this, signalling one of rock’s favourite champions, Metallica.
17. But rock music’s pioneer was yet to arrive. Bow your heads to the great Macca!
18. Who then gave Lollapalooza arguably its best moment, by teaming up with Brittany Howard!
19. Though the weather may have soured for a bit, this image only goes to show just how much Lollapalooza is loved!
