Toro Y Moi Headlines Special Olympics Illinois Benefit
Lollapalooza aftershows can often be a blurry, stinky mess of sunburnt festgoers looking to continue the groove long after getting schwasted in Grant Park's massive mosh pit.
The annual aftershow called Nelarusky, however, takes a different approach.
Taking place before the festival--Wednesday, July 27--at Chicago's Metro, the 9th annual Nelarusky raises money to benefit Special Olympics Illinois.
Since its inception by young entrepreneur Lauren McClusky, then 17, Nelarusky has raised approximately $200,000 toward the organization. Over the years, Nelarusky has featured artists such as Imagine Dragons, Icona Pop, Alabama Shakes and First Aid Kit.
This year, Toro Y Moi will debut his fourth album What For? to Chicago.
Nelarusky will also feature sets by Young Buffalo and John Splithoff. Tickets are $25 for the show on July 29 at 8pm.
