This past weekend's running of Lollapalooza in Chicago was intense. The heat, the monsoon-like storm on Saturday, and even the lobster corn dogs all exceeded what the human body can take on a regular basis.

During First Aid Kit on Friday, this crew member behind the stage was the envy of every person at Lollapalooza. Except maybe Jack White, who looked like he's been sleeping in a coffin these days.
These four Doomtree fans may not know each other, but their personalities all seem to mesh splendidly. The second guy from the right probably didn't realize that when he made that face we'd make it stay that way forever.
Doomtree's Mike Mictlan and P.O.S. remind the crowd how to participate.
Okay, okay Die Antwoord's Yo-Landi Vi$$er. You're not wearing a wire. Got it.
Die Antwoord's DJ Hi-Tek twirled knobs and grimaced all through their Saturday set. This may have been the portion of the performance when he was repeating the loop, "DJ Hi-Tek fuck you in the ass."
These First Aid Kit devotees...
This moment was captured a mere six hours before Black Sabbath took the stage.
