Everything you should live stream from Lollapalooza this weekend
Thanks to RedBull TV, fans who aren’t in Chicago can live stream a ton of sets from Lollapalooza this weekend. Before the fest gets into full swing, here’s a handy guide of what’s worth sinking into the couch for and which acts you can probably skip. From the not-up-for-debate Paul McCartney set to the ehhhhh-maybe-not-necessary Zella Day, here are some suggestions:
Friday Must Sees:
3:15 p.m., Glass Animals: The indie rock quartet puts on a seriously sexy live show that’s usually best served by the cover of nightfall (hello lights show!) but we’re betting their smooth R&B grooves can cut right through the afternoon sun.
5:15 p.m., St. Paul & The Broken Bones: This seven-piece soul set is riding a killer festival seaso, with breakout performances at Coachella and Sasquatch! and their sound wafts so nicely through the barrier of technology.
6:15 p.m., Father John Misty: FJM is one of the best performers around. If you don’t have plans to actually catch him this summer, tune in.
8:00 p.m., Dillon Francis: It’s Friday night and maybe you need a little help turning up. Cue up Dillion Francis’ set for some high-octane fun.
9:15 p.m., Gary Clark Jr.: Maybe you don’t want to turn up. Maybe you want to get down—that’s what this blues man is for.
Saturday Don’t Misses:
4:00 p.m., Wet: Ah, yes, the name—we get it. But the trio…do yourself a favor and make sure you get that too. This indie R&B act is here to stay.
7:15 p.m, BOYS NOIZE: BOYS NOIZE!
9:00 p.m., Chet Faker: You don’t want to miss out if he drops that new Banks-collab into his set.
Sunday Be There or Be Square’s:
5:30 p.m., Twenty One Pilots: If you want to know what it looks like when a performer gives absolutely everything during their set, cue this one up. Tyler Joseph is in a rare class of entertainers, one we’d dare to assume jumps through your screen.
5:45 p.m., Galantis: This Swedish duo dropped their perfect-for-the-summertime debut PHARMACY last month, and now you can check out its live translation.
7:30 p.m., G-Eazy: G-Eazy puts on one of our favorite rap performances around—Chicago won’t be the only crowd jumping when this stream starts.
8:30 p.m., Paul McCartney: Here’s a chance to see a legend while they still command the stage like one. (Bonus: Sir Paul has been throwing rarely played gems into sets all summer long. Don’t you want to know which he’ll drop next?)
