Not too long after the schedule was announced for Lollapalooza, now news comes down about the Lollapalooza aftershows, and the news is pretty damn good. The list is altogether incredible, and I wish this was more spaced out, since you have so many incredible acts playing in the city on Saturday night. I would absolutely kill to see Okkervil in a venue like Schuba’s, but with Bloc Party and BSS also playing that night, it means I probably won’t see it. Check out the full list here.
