What a weekend we have in store for you, Chicago. It’s a big one with both Wicker Park and Sheffield Garden Walk competing for your attention with great local and national acts like Wild Flag, Wavves, Soul Aslyum, Company of Thieves, Canasta, Archie Powell & the Exports and more rocking the two neighborhood fests. Not to mention Thee Oh Sees are playing not once, but twice this weekend.
Let’s get ready to rock!

Holy Springtime, Batman! Eighty degrees, eh? Not long now until we hit the dog days of summer, and you know what that means: Street Fests! Huzzah!
Some of the bigger festivals – Do Division, Wicker Park Fest and Green Must Fest – have already announced their initial music lineups. So, we thought it might be a good idea to update you on who’s playing.
• DO-DIVISION STREET FEST kicks the summer off with a bang on Saturday, June 4, through Sunday, June 5 on Division between Damen & Leavitt. Big names performing include New Orleans’ own Quintron & Miss Pussycat and Led Zeppelin 2 (The sequel to the hit band from the ’70s) on Saturday, and Chicago firebreathers White Mystery and indie rockers Big Science on Sunday. Check out the complete line-up below.

Lollapalooza 2010 and Pitchfork Music Festival 2010 came and went, but if the massive festivals were just too much for your feeble little body and out of your price range, don’t stress. Many Lollapalooza and Pitchfork acts have already booked return trips to the windy city.
First up, Wavves brings their brand of noisy surf pop to Lincoln Hall on September 12 (I guess the 90-day radius clause has been eased?). Also, Cymbals Eat Guitars will join The Thermals at Logan Square Auditorium on October 3, and the country-folk of Mumford & Sons swings its way into the Vic on October 31 a.k.a Halloween.

Lollapalooza is back and bigger than ever with an eclectic set of headliners that ranges from the post-Madonna, dancehall pop of Lady Gaga to reunited Seattle grungers Soundgarden to the unbridled anthems of indie rock saviors Arcade Fire. But of course, you probably are familiar with those groups. So, we decided on keying you in on some of our favorites who play the other eight hours on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Get ready, Chicago. Here’s your Loud Loop Press Lollapalooza 2010 preview…

Over the past few years, Lollapalooza has amped up their post-festival shows in some of the city’s most popular clubs, and this year is no different.
Chicago’s largest festival unleashed their aftershow lineup this morning, which for some is even more important than the festival lineup. Here’s the rundown of who you can catch around town this August 5 – 8.
First up, on Thursday, August 5, you can catch the New Pornographers and the Dodos will rock the Metro, Devo and the Dirty Projectors will work their magic at the Congress Threatre, Slightly Stoopid and Collie Buddz hit up the House Of Blues, Cymbals Eat Guitars and Young Galaxy take over Schubas and, finally, Big Pink with The Smith Westerns and Night Gallery will be at Lincoln Hall.
