Every year, the beautiful greenspaces of Grant Park is used to host an enormous music festival called Lollapalooza. This is one of the main summer attractions that Chicago is known for and as its twenty-third edition approaches, let's mentally prepare ourselves for the afternoon with EARMILK's Lollapalooza playlist.
Major headliners of this year's Lollapalooza include The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, The Postal Service, New Order, 2 Chainz, Lana Del Rey and Ellie Goulding. As you can already tell, this festival will be a very emotional experience. I am attending Lolla for the first time ever and below is a selection of hand picked songs to soundtrack this weekend's sentimental journey.
