Official Lollapalooza Pre-Show

There are some great aftershows this year, but after a whole day of Lolla drinking $7 beers in the sun, it’s hard to make it to another show. I will start a day early though and since a mob of people crashed the Metro website when Alabama Shakes tickets went on sale for Thursday night, I’m checking out this solid Lolla pre-show at Lincoln Hall.

Openers: Kevin Devine & the Goddamn Band || The Gunwells
