As every year, music had its best celebration at Lollapalooza Chicago.
During all three days of the festival, more than 360 thousand people flocked to Chicago’s Grant Park to enjoy the performance of some of the greatest international music artists.
Paul McCartney was in charge of closing the first day of the festival and he did so giving a show that lasted more than two hours but that could have lasted much more time because the audience didn’t stop cheering on the Beatle star that keeps thrilling people as he did in the 60’s.
While McCartney was performing his concert, one of the others stages of the Grant Park was shaking to the music of The Weeknd, a booming band that is compared to Michel Jackson by many music magazines. This was certainly one of the shows I didn’t want to miss.
Sam Smith, the star that is just 23 years old and who has already won 4 Grammys, was another must-see of my Lollapalooza’s list. And he didn’t let me down. He made our hearts vibrate as the full moon brightened our bodies under the impressive Windy City skyline.
A great stand-out was Glass Animals, a British band that was born during a sleeplessness night in 2014 and that promises to make history with a musical style characterized by shades and mystery.
Florence + The Machine, one of the most expected artists, closed the edition giving a show that was really powerful both on the stage and in the field. She ran down barefoot into the crowd two times and hugged the fans who were singing her songs under an approaching storm that could not interrupt that magic moment.
One more time, Grant Park was the place chosen to carry out the event. This is a huge green oasis in the middle of Chicago and during Lollapalooza’s weekend it shook to the music of more than 150 bands, music legends, new artists, and DJs that performed on the eight stunning stages that were set for the occasion, bringing to life one of the most important worldwide music festivals.
Tip: as I always tell you, it is very important to wear comfortable clothes because the field is enormous and you have to walk a lot. Besides, since at this time of the year the weather is really hot in Chicago, it is also important to drink a lot of water.
Enjoy it!
