Editors' Take
Yeah, yeah, yeah: It's really expensive. But, over 100 bands over the course of three days for $200 is equivalent to less than $2 a band! Just don't buy too many $5 beers, and you'll be fine, tightwad.
This line-up's huge! RATM, Wilco, Radiohead, NIN and locals Kayne, Cool Kids, Office, Lupe and Kid Sister. A musical weekend made in heaven (a very hot, humid and crowded heaven, that is), this year's event should solidify Chicago as one of the most musical cities in America.
