Pre- & Aftershows For Lollapalooza Are Here, Tickets On Sale Soon

For those of you yearning to resolve your Lollapalooza schedule conflicts with your credit card or those who choose to abstain from the heat, crowds and expense of said three day festival can catch most of the highlighted bands at your friendly neighborhood concert venue.

Featured bands include The National, Phoenix, New Pornographers, Hot Chip, Devo, The Black Keys, The Walkmen and Rogue Wave are playing everywhere from large capacity halls such as House of Blues and Congress Theater to intimate settings like Empty Bottle and Double Door. Since my attendance at Lollapalooza is still being debated, this list helps me lean the other way. Single day tickets are still on sale here.


Links to purchasing aftershow tickets are here. Examples for your listening pleasure are given as well.
