Music & Movie Mojo: The Weekend That Was Lollapalooza

You did it Chicago!  You survived another hard-rockin', adrenaline-pumping, up-all-night-to-get-lucky, Lollapalooza weekend.

In case you're still trying to recover or (shut-your-mouth) missed it, here's a few highlights from C-Style's 'Adventures with Lolla'.

Thursday, July 30th -

C-Style kicked things off with none other than the founder of Lollapalooza, Perry Farrell (formerly of Jane's Addiction).  Farrell (who is also 'the face' for Maestro Dobel Tequila) entertained guests at the posh River West venue, Nellcote.


Guests of Farrell enjoyed passed appetizers, margaritas, and shots of Maestro Dobel throughout the evening.  Farrell also enjoyed "playing" the uniquely-designed tequila drum case, posing and talking with guests, and sampling the delicious cuisine!

Across town at Parliament Chicago, reality star Brody Jenner (Sex with Brody, Keeping Up with the Kardashians) turned up the heat with his DJ set.





Friday, July 31st -

C-Style joined the Hard Rock Hotel Chicago and Culture Collide for the first of two amazing after parties.

Legendary rapper, Slick Rick (Da Ruler) headlined Friday night's show and The Bleachers took over on Saturday.

Guests enjoyed drinks, food,a photo booth, button-making, glow-in-the-dark jewelry, a bike pack filled with swag, and the Vinyl DJ bar featuring Mo-Fi Headphones in the lobby.

Saturday, August 1st -

Virgin Hotel Chicago's new hot spot, Cerise, got in on the fun when they joined with Nylon and UNIQLO to present "Midnight City" with hot sets by Zoe Kravitz and her band Lolawolf and Chicago's own, Vic Mensa. The crowd also got pumped up by DJ Leslie Kirchoff on the 1's and 2's.

All-in-all, we had a blast and hope you did, too!  Either way, no worries. Lollapalooza will be back July 29 - 31, 2016 to do it all over again!
