Lollapalooza kicks off today at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. The 22 year old festival is the brain child of Perry Farrell as a farewell tour for Jane’s Addiction and boasts a lineup that touches on more than just electronic music. Today the festival will be streaming sets from Icona Pop, Crystal Castles, Imagine Dragons, Queens of the Stone Age and more, including a closing set from the legendary Nine Inch Nails, whose frontman Trent Reznor has advocated electronic music long before its mainstream appeal.
