Grant Park - Friday August 4, 2023

Here we go day two!

Upon completing this blog, I know for a fact I am going to check Google to make sure Jared Leto is okay post performance after his stage-dive-to-end-all-stage dives.
But if that jump showcased anything, its the bang that Lollapalooza 2023 continued on in day two.

Major photo highlights from JBTV Alumni like 30 Seconds to Mars, along with the 1975. With the first Democratic Gen Z Congressman Maxwell Frost being among the fan base who must have surely been excited for their headlining of this fine Friday afternoon. 

Beyond 30STM and the 1975, JBTV highlighted: Band Maid, Sudan Archives, Beabadoobee, Foals, Diesel (Shaquille O' Neil), and many more major highlights of the day.

Didn't I tell you this year is full of surprises? From the one and only Shaquille O'Neill showcasing his DJ ability to 30STM paying for a plane ad to fly over Grant Park as a set list reminder, you wouldn't believe the final act hadn't arrived yet.

Then there were the earlier acts, in respective order.

Band Maid truly dominated their set with incredible songs like "DOMINATION," 
Don't You Tell ME," and "Dice" being among their showcase. 

Sudan Archives made a pure Lolla festival mark with the crowd vibing to their major hit "Selfish Soul," "Milk Me," and "Traditional Irish Jig" with Brittany Denise Parks truly OWNING the violin virtuosity along with her diverse, eclectic style and range for music. Who could set a better scene than her? Unstoppable. TRULY.

Beabadoobee was hit after hit and another force to be reckoned with. With "Apple Cider," and "Last Day on Earth," we would have been totally stoked if our last day on earth included her music.

Foals were also absolutely phenomenal, waking us all up with "Wake Me Up" and closing their set with "What Went Down." We were down for that true Oxford British rock sweeping the Chicago stage.

Then, as previously mentioned, 30 Seconds to Mars literally shot Jared Leto from the roof of the stage, and I hope he could see mars from there. No matter the punches thrown at him regarding his previous acting roles, 30STM never fails to put on an unforgettable show. Jared puts his entire heart and soul into being a true performer and we NEEDED our emo nostalgic fix hearing "The Kill" again.

His vocals will never be matched. Jared 'truly believed he could walk on water' as he took this god-like persona to a new level rising himself up to new heights for that son.

Then to close with JBTV Alumni the 1975, Matt Healy was the true essence of a show man and they truly earned their headline spot. He seduced us with their song "Sex," and other major songs "Happiness," "Chocolate" and "Oh Caroline" being song incredible songs they played.
Matt Healy is a truly modern day crooner. It was a truly soulful sing-a-long experience to see them again on the Lolla stage.
It was effortless for him. With his hair slicked back and his flask, Matt knows what he is doing, and they are truly the star powers that deserve their accolades.

If this is only day two, we are pinching ourselves about the dream that will be day three.
