Lollapalooza After Hours
The music doesn't stop after the park turns off the lights
The Whigs w/ The Blakes @ House of Blues - Back Porch
329 N Dearborn Street
Doors TBD
Catch loud band The Whigs (pictured) a few nights before they rock at Lollapalooza, if you dig it see them again, or… skip them knowing you already took care of it before everyone else. Now you may have some time for a potty break or cold beer back at the fest.
Mates of State w/ MGMT @ Double Door*
1572 N. Milwaukee Avenue
Ages 21+
Doors @ 10pm
This is a sweet line-up given that Mates of State (pictured) is scheduled opposite Cat Power at Lolla and if you see MGMT at the fest you’ll miss DeVotchKa, whoa! decisions. Head here and you’ll manage to take in 4 equally great acts without any regrets.
Black Lips @ Empty Bottle
1035 N Western Avenue
Doors @ 9pm
The Black Lips (pictured) are playing a somewhat early set at Lollapalooza on Friday, if you miss it because a) you were still sleeping or b) decided to see Noah and the Whale instead, head to this dive bar later on for a more intimate set.
Rogue Wave w/ Dr. Dog @ Schubas
3159 N Southport Avenue
Doors @ 9:30pm
Here’s another great option for Friday night, but let’s be honest, Radiohead’s mega show it’s going to be hard to top. Don’t judge any band you see after them too harshly, okay?
Rock the Vote Nights @ Hard Rock Hotel*
68 E Wacker Place
Doors @ 10pm
One of the best bets to follow up Lolla every night it’s this party that tonight features Danny Masterson (pictured), yes, Hyde from That 70s Show also known in the Hollywood party circles as DJ Mom Jeans, plus performances by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. Oh yes, and you may even spot more celebrities here, if you care for that sort of thing keep your eyes open.
