“The music is made first, and the interviews or photos to keep it alive come later as a necessary evil, I suppose.” -Jack White Event:  MGMT at Osheaga 2012 Photographer:  Stewart Wiseman What Stewart Says: "The Connecticut outfit performed a selection of their psychedelic-fueled rock to the biggest crowd of the day, and treated their many faithful to a mix of songs off of their first two albums."

After three days of music, madness, heat, sweat, hurricanes, hail and hot dogs without ketchup, I’m proud to say that I survived Lollapalooza 2012. This year’s Lollapalooza was truly one for the record books. There was an estimate of 100,000 people that came from all over the world to cover ...

With more than 100 bands on eight stages (well, seven if you discount the Kidz stage, which often features songs about barnyard animals), Lollapalooza is expected to be exhausting and overwhelming. The point is to see as many bands as possible, because you paid for a ticket and dammit you're going to make that 3-day wristband worth it. At least, that was my Year 1 strategy.

For the eighth time in a row, Lollapalooza returned to Chicago's Grant Park. While the festival has received its share of rain over the years (e.g. Billy Idol's mesmerizing sun shower set in 2005, The Gaslight Anthem's downpour debut in 2009, Best Coast's muddy power hour in 2011, to name a few), the grounds have never had to shut down . Yet with recent catastrophes at festivals worldwide, management took no chances and they made the right choice. Only three hours were ultimately lost and in those three hours something wild happened - there was a sense [...]

As usual, there are hard choices to make at Lollapalooza . And unlike smaller festivals, it's hard to run from end to end to catch multiple sets when they're playing at the same time. Here are 10 time-slot conflicts and my resolution for each: FRIDAY Sharon Van Etten vs. Tame Impala : This is a tough one. Van Etten made a wonderful album this year but I just think Tame Impala is going to play a more lively set. Passion Pit vs. [...]
