Live Reviews / Concert Announcement / Jeff Hahne / News Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Thu, Aug 5, 2010 at 10:52 AM
I'm heading up to the Windy City to cover Lollapalooza 2010 in Chicago this weekend. The three-day festival is now in a single location, for all-day music.
Having been to Bonnaroo for the last four years and checking out Voodoo Fest last year in New Orleans, I'm curious to see how Lollapalooza stacks up. I remember going to Lolla the first few years back in the early '90s when it was headlined by Jane's Addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alice in Chains.
This year, the headliners are Lady Gaga, Green Day and a reunited Soundgarden. It should be interesting, to say the least.
Much like the coverage at those other festivals, I'll be posting daily blogs here and sending out Twitter messages to let you know what's going on.
As for the bands I'm hoping to check out — here's a few:

Concert Announcement / News Concert announcement: Rodrigo y Gabriela
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 10:35 AM
Rodrigo y Gabriela will perform at The Fillmore Charlotte on Oct. 16. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 23, at 10 a.m.
The duo has been performing together for more than 15 years and bring their heavy metal backgrounds into an instrumental, acoustic format. It's impressive to watch as Gabriela Quintero will flick and hit her guitar to create more of a percussion style while Rodrigo Sanchez usually takes the lead.
At Bonnaroo in 2007, the duo quickly established a large crowd for their late-night set as passersby continually asked me, "Who is this? They're amazing!" Few left after hearing their music ring out.
The next time around, the duo was on Bonnaroo's main stage.
Check them out on an original song, "Tamacun":
