No matter the set time, every artist on day two of Lollapalooza Friday (Aug. 2) brought their A-game, and the crowds reciprocated. Headliner Childish Gambino brought fireworks, Bishop Briggs enlisted a choir and Death Cab For Cutie even had Chicago's own Chance the Rapper.
Picture This' Irish pride
Hailing from Kildare, Ireland, Picture This felt right at home in Chicago thanks to the rowdy crowd that helped them kick off the second day of main stage acts. Fans waved Irish flags in the air as they chanted "Ole! Ole! Ole!," almost making Picture This' 40-minute set feel like a headline show in their home country -- and they loved every second of it. Alec Benjamin's humility
Those who hadn't seen Alec Benjamin prior to Lollapalooza discovered that the 25-year-old singer is as pleasant as his falsetto singing voice. Not only was he sporting a simple outfit of jeans and a plain white sweatshirt , but he also told the audience, "This is probably one of the coolest days of my life" and dedicated a song to his mom and sister.
"Y'all ever seen a couple and been like, 'I want to throw up all over you?'" he said before his hit "Crush Culture." But even when he flicked off cameras while singing "The King," Gray's attitude was endearingly relatable."Let's find out who came here to take pictures and who came here to dance!" Maggie Rogers told the crowd after making it very clear that she was there for the latter.
"We're fighting against the abuse of power," she said before making the biggest statement of all. "We're fighting to have Donald Trump impeached." Her prowess matched her passion, and even after going five minutes over her hour set time she didn't feel she was done sending her message: "I wish I had more time!"After playing most of their own hits, Death Cab For Cutie gave the Chicago natives in the crowd one of their hometown heroes.
