We’re heading towards Summer which means icy boozy beverages, copious movies about super power-laden humans, and lots and lots of outdoor concerts. And in August, there’s an explosion of two of those factors: Chicago’s Lollapalooza music festival. For three days, August 3 through 5, bands take over the city’s Grant Park — the same park that held the jubilant crowd the night President Obama won the 2008 election.
