Lollapalooza!! 2013


Many people might have heard what a great music festival Lollapalooza really is, but you have to go to experience just how much energy the crowds reciprocate to the artist. This three day music festival was held August 2-4. Downtown Chicago is blocked off around Grant park. You are free to walk to various stages just to hear your favorite artist. I was so happy to see The neighborhood, Deep Vally, Jessie Ware, Theophilus London, Disclosure, Frightened Rabbit, Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding, Kendrik Lamar, MS MR, Wavves, DIIV, and 2 chains who showed out. They were simi-strict about bringing liquor inside the fenced park. They made sure to empty pockets and bags containing water that was not sealed, snacks, and liquor. This is such a great experience for anyone who is a native to Chicago or new. I will be looking forward  to going next year, but hope that all of my favorite artist will be playing on the same day. Going all three days in a row was very exhausting, but incredibly fun!

Pitchfork Music Festival Chicago 2013


While being in Chicago one of the best opportunities I have experienced has been going to the music festivals. Chicago does have plenty of festivals to offer ranging from free local artist to some of the biggest artist known to man. I was super excited to attend Chicago's 2013 Pitchfork Music festival. While this was a three day long festival I found buying a one day pass would be more than worth it to me. The festival was held July 19-July 21. Sunday I was able to see Yo la Tengo, Toro Y Moi, MIA, and R.Kelly!! Here is some footage of my day!!
