What WEEKEND thinks:
Lollapalooza's artists are making daddy Perry Farrell very happy by bringing home lots of A's on their report cards. WEEKEND gave A's to many of the artists' new albums, including TV on the Radio, Modest Mouse and Peter Bjorn and John. Bloomington also caught glimpses of Spoon and G.Love at Bluebird and they're worth traveling to Chicago for.

Don't miss it if...
You don't sleep, have ADD or stole your roommate's Adderall. If you can catch 93 of the 130 performers, you won't even spend $2 per show.
