August 3-6: Lollapalooza Chicago

The most happening musical celebration in Chicago, Lollapalooza, has announced that this year, those not attending the festival will have four different live channels for all things Lolla at their disposal, thanks to Red Bull TV.

While three of the channels will be reporter-led coverage, the fourth, through the Red Bull Music Youtube page, will offer live streams of the festival sets via virtual reality. The new streaming installment, compliments of C3 Presents, Live Nation, and Google‘s own AR/VR team will “virtually transport fans from anywhere, in real time to the front row at Lollapalooza.”

Coverage is set to begin on the Grant Park festival grounds the day of commencement, Thursday, Aug. 2, at 6 p.m. CST and roll on throughout the weekend until the fest’s conclusion Sunday. The four-day affair boasts an eclectic-as-ever lineup this year, headlined by categorical virtuosos like Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, Bruno Mars, Travis Scott, and The Weeknd, who will all be included in the live streams. The live broadcast will also include sets from top-tier electronic acts like Tycho, Rusko, ODESZA, Illenium, REZZ, and much more.

afair youtube stream is always better bitrate than redbull, so concentrating on 4 youtube links

Doesnt the redbull stream seem like higher quality then youtube?

yes, you're right. this time it is. usually it's lower, but now the quality from redbull is 6800kbps, while youtube gives only 5000kbps.. yeah, gotta switch, i guess, tomorrow.. nothing to share from thursday anyways..

i'm just gonna do channel 3.. i did a lot last 2 weekends, maybe someone else wants to take over this time? =)

anyone recorded saturday (channel 3) ?
or just illenium set?

i'm still editing and cutting the lollapalooza recordings. i managed to get the complete stream for all channels for all days. if nobody else posts it i will upload it for you freequss. but usually jerpaa is on it :)

Thank you so much! I'm waiting for this. If you have all the djs from channel 3 that would be amazing and I think not only me would be happy
