Lollapalooza

Midday sets can make or break young groups, and these are the ones to catch.

Lollapalooza 2013 sold out fast, and because not everyone can be in Chicago’s Grant Park this weekend, the good folks at America’s premiere summer festival are streaming some of the most anticipated sets online.

As far as festival lineups are concerned, it doesn't get much better or more diverse than Lollapalooza 2013. The three-day musical fete, set for Aug. 2-4 in Chicago's Grant Park, is already sold out, and considering the big-name headliners -- the Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Mumford and Sons and the Killers -- plus scores of other great bands (New Order, Vampire Weekend, Postal Service, etc.), it's easy to see why.

The Cure, Mumford and Sons, the Killers and Nine Inch Nails have been confirmed as headliners for Lollapalooza 2013, which takes place in Chicago's Grant Park on Aug. 2-4. The four monsters of alt-rock top a bill featuring dozens of artists, with Phoenix, New Order, the Postal Service and Vampire Weekend among the other top-tiered acts.

We’ve been eagerly awaiting the lineup for Lollapalooza 2013 — set to take place in Chicago’s Grant Park on Aug. 2-4 — and according to the Chicago Tribune, this year’s fest will feature headliners Mumford and Sons, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend and the Killers.

Australian indie rockers the Jezabels are a relatively new band on the rise. The group formed in 2007 after meeting at the University of Sydney, and having released their full-length debut, 'Prisoner,' last year to much critical acclaim, they hope to continue the momentum they've been building.

London electronic rock duo the Big Pink have been turning heads since releasing their single 'Too Young to Love' in 2008. After signing with legendary British record label 4AD, Robbie Furze and Milo Cordell dropped their debut album, 'A Brief History of Love,' the following year to much critical acclaim. The Big Pink put out their new album 'Future This' earlier this year and sat down with Diffuse

By most accounts, security was pretty tight at this year's Lollapalooza -- and fortunately, even when things did get a little out of control, little or no landscaping was destroyed -- but a few unsavory characters still managed to slip in. Just ask the 11-year-old girl who lost her beach ball and ended up with a sore stomach.

There was a time not too long ago it seemed Florence + the Machine's summer was going be over before it really hit its stride. Singer Florence Welch was dealing with a vocal illness, which had sidelined the band and forced the cancellation of several dates. Lucky for fans, Welch was able to rest up, and before anybody knew it she was all better and back on the road. Perhaps the biggest benefactors
