Lollapalooza Draws Sold-Out Crowd Despite Rain, Extreme Heat

Produced by C3 Presents, Lollapalooza—the music festival that overtook Grant Park from Friday to Sunday, offered performances from 130 bands, and drew a sold-out crowd of 225,000—had plenty of on-site brand activations. Sponsored stages throughout the park bore signage calling out companies such as VitaminWater and Budweiser; PlayStation had a tented structure housing its new games; and Honda sponsored a whole "Eco Zone," where a display area showcased the company's 2010 Honda Insight hybrid vehicle. But rain ponchos needed no advertising to see a sudden spike in sales due to festival traffic.

As crowds headed to festival grounds during a Friday downpour, Walgreens and 7-Elevens locations downtown were wiped out of umbrellas and rain gear; and it was not uncommon to see concertgoers cutting up trash bags for use as cover-ups. But as bands such as Fleet Foxes, Ben Folds, and Of Montreal performed, the only weather-related inconveniences seemed to be sightlines impaired by a sea of umbrellas floating above fans' heads, and the occasional chilly guest—if that was the reasoning behind one girl's exclamation of "I want to crawl into your beard" during the Fleet Foxes show.

Lollapalooza After-Shows to Include Late-Night Performances From Beastie Boys, Fleet Foxes

Earlier this week the lineup for this year's Lollapalooza after-shows—a series of concerts that take place in venues throughout the city, showcase acts from the festival, and generally strike up at around 10 p.m.—posted on the event's official Web site. The after-show schedule begins on August 5—two days before the fest officially returns to Chicago—and runs through August 9. Performances will include a Beastie Boys concert at Congress Theater on August 6 and a Fleet Foxes show at Metro on August 8. If you're looking for offbeat business entertaining options or information about possible conflicts when scheduling events during that time, ticket info and a complete lineup for the late-night shows are available here. —Jenny Berg
