Here they are, in no particular order. When four bands are this good, how do you rank them? You don’t, that’s what. You write a little blurb about how you aren’t ranking them.
Jack White
Yeah, the Black Keys were good on Friday night, but the bluesy rock crown definitely goes to Jack. The guy just oozes authenticity and energy. Jack White also manages to be the absolute center of attention without seeming like a guy with a huge rockstar ego. I mean, I don’t know if he does and he very well may, but from what I saw, he’s just a guy who loves to play music and rocks out with two different bands.

Lollapalooza has so many big name acts, sometimes the little guys get lost in the shuffle. Make sure not to ignore the smaller stages like the BMI stage and Google Play stage or the early hours of any of the stages or you’ll miss out on some of the best new artists. The organizers of Lollapalooza make sure they book top notch talent, so whenever you have a break between bigger acts, check out the side stages for bands like the following.
