Lollapalooza Day 3

Brazilian Girls' chanteuse Sabina Sciubba, in quite possibly the only attractive muu-muu ever made, introduces new tracks from the girls' upcoming release, New York City.

Amadou & Mariam, two blind musicians originally from Mali, fuse tribal beats and immersive melodies at the PlayStation 3 stage.

Iron & Wine's Sam Beam hammers out midday folk jams.

Fresh off the release of the Trent Reznor-produced The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!, slam poet, actor and rapper Saul Williams brings his new album's theatrics to Lollapalooza.

These hands should be insured: virtuoso guitarists Michael James and Munaf Ravani from Explosions in the Sky at Saul Williams' set.

Gregg Gillis of Girl Talk brings a headlining crowd to the smaller Citi stage, creating a party traffic jam in the hub of the festival.

Cincinnati come Brooklyn alt-rock collective The National prove why their live shows should not be missed. By anyone. Ever.

Nine Inch Nail's Trent Reznor plows through a headlining set despite a bloody hand and shot voice, ending the festival with an intoxicating mix of state-of-the-art stage effects and music from his 19-year discography.
