« Live Review: Pete Yorn @ Park West 8/3/09 | Lollapalooza 2009: Band vs Band, Round 3 » |
Concert Wed Aug 05 2009
Crookers w/ Major Lazer (Soundsystem), Simian Mobile Disco, Kid Cudi, Amanda Blank and more (even the stage will be crowded)
Lollapalooza means that everyone and their mother is in town, and probably want to make the most of their time here beyond an hour in Grant Park. They boys of Dark Wave Disco host a cavalcade of stars at the Congress on Friday night, with Italian remixers du jour Crookers headlining and a mysterious Major Lazer (Soundsystem) just underneath them (be prepared for an absent Diplo, Switch or both)? Rounding out the bill is buzz-peaking Kanye protege Kid Cudi, Philly rap diva Amanda Blank, Italians Bloody Beetroots and Chicagoan Willy Joy. Tickets run $25 a pop, which if you do the math, breaks down to a mere $3.57 per act (oh this economy!). When you have this many people, your afterparty has to start a little early, so doors open at 8pm.
But that's not all! We have a pair of tickets to give away to the first person who emails us at contests@gapersblock.com with the subject line "Major Fun!". Update! We have a winner! Congrats to Brian.
