Lollapalooza’s officially sanctioned afterparties (and a few preparties on Wednesday and Thursday) give fans unwilling to brave the festival’s heat and crowds or unable to score a ticket opportunities to see some of its standout acts; for festival attendees with a high tolerance for exhaustion, the shows provide the chance to watch live music almost around the clock. The events take place at a wide range of venues, not only in terms of size and atmosphere but also in terms of location—Thievery Corporation vocalist LouLou is doing an afterfest DJ set at a club inside the Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Indiana.
