Here Is Why Lollapalooza Is Worth $190

So the schedule for Lollapalooza is available now, again allowing you to create your own agenda for each day. The following is just one of the many options (albeit, this one is mC-recommended) for the three-day festival, once again justifying two bills you'll drop just to get through the gates.
