Why Lollapalooza Weekend Is The Best Weekend Of The Year

I remember ever since I found out about Lollapalooza I wanted to go. I have always loved going to concerts but the idea of going to concerts 3 days in a row seemed amazing. Now Lollapalooza is 4 days long and it's the best 4 days of your life. You haven't experienced life if you haven't been to Lolla!

1. "Over 170 performances on 8 stages from 11 am to 10 pm."

Lolla is from August 2-5th. They have an artist from every genre. They have popular artists to artists you've never heard of. They have someone performing every minute from 11 am to 10 am. They have the best four days of your life all planned out for you. Yeah, it's kind of expensive to go all 4 days but normally to go see one artist is $150. Why do that when you can pay around $400 to see 170+ artist?


2. You get to dress in the coolest outfits for 4 days.

This is a place where everyone's style is welcomed. Lolla isn't like Coachella where you're supposed to dress hippie, at Lolla you see every style. You get to come up with the coolest outfits and everyone compliments you the whole weekend. People probably already have outfits planned for Lolla and it's only February. I already have two shirts picked out! Oh, and you get to see guys wear jerseys.


3. The accessories people use to go with their outfits are amazing.

The amount of time and effort people put into their Lolla outfit is amazing. It's the earring, bracelets, bracelets, body jewelry, the makeup, sunglasses, fanny packs, the hair, and most importantly the GLITTER! This is a weekend where glitter is a must!



4. THE FOOD IS AMAZING.

On your way from stage to stage, they have Chow Town. Chow Town has 35 places to eat. In my opinion, Cheesie's Pub & Grub is the best place to eat! It's the best-grilled cheese on this planet. Also, The Purple Pig is to die for!!!


5. The artist put on their best performances.

At Lolla, the artist only gets an hour to perform. They play all their popular songs from a lot of their different albums. Also, since they share the stage all day they don't really get to set up. A majority of artists just have them and their band. This helps because it's just about the music. Since Lolla is a summer festival it's supposed to just be relaxing so the artist just let it go and go crazy!


6. You can dance as crazy as you want


Lollapalooza is a place where every one just wants to have fun and not care. No one will judge you for your dance moves I promise.

7. They have awesome security.

It’s sad that I even have to talk about this but I think it is important for people to know. Lollapalooza has a ton of security. They have Chicago police all around the area. Also, they go around the park before everyone gets to come in with dogs to make sure everything is safe. When you walk into the festive you get patted down and go through a medal detector. Since this is an outdoors festival they have a bunch of security routs in case of bad weather conditions. I honestly have never felt unsafe at Lollapalooza.

8. They have a ton of free activities for you to do.

Everyone loves free stuff am I right? Lolla has a ton of sponsors and some of the sponsors give you free stuff. From the past two years, I got a ton of Lolla bandanas, drawstring bags, sunglasses, light up tambourins, shirts, temporary tattoos, and arm paint.


9. You are surrounded by thousands of people who all love the same artist

Image your favorite is on stage and everyone around you is singing the songs. You get to meet some of your favorite artist fans. Like how awesome is that! Yeah being in between a bunch of sweaty bodies isn't always the most fun but it's a whole different experience everyone should experience. It's not like standing in an arena and everyone has their own seat. The picture below I was in the second row!


10. It's in Chicago

Chicago is already an amazing city and when you add Lollapalooza it makes it the best city.

11. They provide Interrupters.

They have interrupters at every stage and oh my god they are more interesting to watch sometimes. They can sign rap so fast it's crazy. They make sign language so beautiful, it's really something to see.


12. You can spend time with your friends

Lollapalooza is a weekend to just get away with your friends and have the time of your life.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
