Lollapalooza Kicks Ass - Officially

For those of you, like me, who thought this year's Lollapalooza was fantastic, there's good news - the festival did incredible business. According to Billboard, total paid attendance was more than 166,000, with daily attendance of 52,000 (Friday), 56,000 (Saturday) and 59,000 (Sunday). Total ticket revenue was more than $8 million.

Without sounding too cheesy, you really have to hand it to the organizers of this thing. They had a great lineup and a great setup. I can't think of a single thing I can complain about from the entire weekend, except maybe that I had to choose between seeing the Frames and the Hold Steady.

Can't wait to see next year's lineup!
