Palooza Profiles

Lolla rockers of all types—Chicago's got your pre-party and your encore.
Tuesday Jul 25, 2006.     By Gavin Paul
Centerstage Chicago Nightlife City Guide Arts

Crazy Zen dancers at Lolla.
The Lolla circus is back in town, trying its best to please the Chicago masses with eight stages and 130+ bands against a mesmerizing skyline: a fine formula for a festival. Whatever genre you dig, you're bound to find your next favorite act come August 4-6. And while you probably have your festival plan gridded out, do you know what's up afterward?

Here's the deal: we've typecast your tunage tastes into five end-all, be-all categories. Drink, eat and listen your way through the weekend with our "Think this? Do that" guide.

Beat Junkie
Not a party without a DJ? Smartbar's got the cure.

Crazy Zen Dancer
You can dance if you want to. Warm up in some Montrose Beach sands.

Neo-Hipster
Pitchfork too pretentious for you? You'll dig Filter; Rodan.

Sun Soaker
The sun is the one you worship? Millennium Park will make you smile.

Yupster
Get your indie kicks on Death Cab? The Bongo Room awaits.
