24 Ways to Act Like You're "With the Band" at Lollapalooza

FUSE TV - 24 Ways to Act Like You're "With the Band" at Lollapalooza

You're at Lollapalooza. There aren't any campground parties to carry you through the downtime, but there's a big, bustling city right beyond the festival gates—so what do you do when you're not watching one of this year's many impressive acts?

Well, the obvious thing is to be a mega fan and try to live vicariously through the bands playing. Duh. And you can do that by following the advice found on this page. We'll tell you where you're likely to run into Lolla acts and what they'll be eating and drinking. We've also detailed how you can revisit some of Chicago's best music moments that made it to the big screen (or just YouTube), plus a few other fun extras.

Sure there are plenty of sanctioned Lollapalooza after parties that you could go to instead (if you thought ahead and bought tickets), but isn't it more fun running into bands when you're NOT expecting it? It definitely makes for better stories. So take your pick and follow up with us on your adventures in the comments section below!

1. Bite Into Black Sabbath at Kuma's Corner
Kuma’s Corner is known for two things: a heavy metal atmosphere and their heavenly burgers, most of which are named after influential metal bands. We recommend trying the Black Sabbath burger in honor of the band’s headlining spot at this year’s Lolla. Who knows, maybe Ozzy will stop by to see how good his band tastes. And if you’re not a metal fan but still like a good burger, don’t be intimidated–even Lady Gaga had a ball at Kuma’s, as told via tweet.
Located at 2900 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago , IL 60618 

2. Party at Angels & Kings
If you’re into Fall Out Boy or the Black Cards make sure to stop by Angels & Kings. The trendy room was opened by FOB bassist Pete Wentz, Perez Hilton and two business partners in 2008. The club frequently does Lolla kickoff and after parties, and while there’s nothing official on the calendar right now, it’s probably worth keeping on your radar.
Located at 230 North Michigan Ave., Chicago, IL 60601

3. Sing Karaoke at Stanley’s Kitchen and Tap
After Pearl Jam’s 2007 Lollapalooza headlining set, Eddie Vedder sought out a more intimate crowd for the after show. Vedder and Kid Rock delivered a surprise performance at Stanley’s Kitchen & Tap the following Monday night. And just a few months ago, Vedder was seen performing “The Weight” with the live karaoke band after a Cubs game (see the video below). Live band karaoke is Sunday from 11PM -2AM
Located at 1970 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago, IL 60614
