Paste's Summer Festival Guide 2010: Kids' Corner
Music festivals can be surprisingly kid-friendly: Most offer free admission or discounted tickets for tykes while some boast extensive games, bands and other G-rated activities for the little ones. At Bonnaroo’s Kidz Jam, children can express themselves with recycling art projects and kids instruments; meanwhile, tots at Kidzapalooza will be sufficiently rocked by bands like Lunch Money and Care Bears on Fire, while sporting new hairdooz and tattooz. For the more pragmatic parent, ACL offers Tag-a-Kid, giving children numbered wrist bands in case they lose mom and dad in a mosh pit.... read more

The medical tent may not seem like the hotspot at any music festival, but it’s there for a reason: These events are all fun and games until somebody gets hurt—or worse. In eight years of Bonnaroo, there have been seven deaths; a 39-year-old man died of a heart attack last year at Lollapalooza; and in 2000, at Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, eight fans were crushed to death in a stampede. Some of these episodes were more preventable than others. (One of the Bonnaroo deaths reportedly came when a man hopped a fence, walked onto an interstate and was struck by Ricky... read more

[Photo by Mark C. Austin] It’s been just three years since a then-unknown Lady Gaga played a small show at 2007’s Lollapalooza festival, but it looks like this year, the Lady will be bringing the heavy synth and crazy costumes to the main stage as one of Lollapalooza’s headliners.

Found in: Blogs, 1000 WordsLollapalooza 2009 Day Three: Been Caught Stealing
If there’s anything quantifiable about Perry Farrell and the evolution of Lollapalooza is that the dude, and the festival, is destined for a crown in weirdness. Even if it was his point from the get-go in ’91, disguised as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction. But much like the many young hearts that jumped the perimeters of Grant Park, lightning-bolting through a concrete jungle of tunage and smiles for the glory of a free ticket, Lolla ’09 cruised the continuing frontier of rock and festival with several moments of bliss.... read more

Perry Farrell, being the rock sheik that he is, kept wide-eying reminders to grumpy, rained-out folk on Friday about how the sun would dominate the rest of the weekend. But he failed to prepare along the way, kids hopping fences and stretching wristbands in his oversight. Or maybe he’s cool like that.
