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.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , Spinner Says Samuel Dietz, WireImage It's time for the 2012 edition of Lollapalooza and the schedule, as always, is a pain in the ass. As of now, there are about 30 bands I'd to see, but I can't be in two places at once, I haven't factored in any time for food, I'll need to reapply my SPF 110 at least once or twice out there, and I'm sure I'll [...]
