ChiIL out with ChiIL Mama and ChiIL Live Shows at the biggest, baddest bash for live music lovers large and small. Yep, that would be Lollapalooza and Kidzapalooza. Or relive our adventures vicariously right here. We'll have photos, video interviews, and much more leading up to and recapping the big weekend.
ChiIL Mama's Flashback:

Funniest thing to me was all the little kids were saying, "Look. It's Slash from GUITAR HERO!!" LOL.

Check back daily for our ongoing updates, must see bands, past original content on Lolla/Kidza past and the bands hitting the stages for 2014.
Finally, check out our ChiIL Tips. We've been there ALL 3 days of EVERY year Lollapalooza has called Grant Park, Chicago home. So whether you're going with babe's in backpacks and jogging strollers, toddlers in tow, or getting a sitter and travelin' light... we've got you covered!
Before You Go:
Check out Lollapalooza's main site to customize your weekend. I can tell you what we think is ChiIL... but Lolla has a gazillion bands, food, fun, eco-friendly fare, booths and people watching to spare. So take some time to make a plan customized to YOU and your tastes, even if you ditch it later and just improv it.
