Posted in News on August 9, 2011

Neither torrential rain nor exhaustive heat could keep music enthusiasts from gathering at BMI’s stage during Lollapalooza 2011, held at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field in Chicago on August 5-7. Performances on the BMI stage kicked off each day at noon, setting the pace at the annual music festival known for its wide-ranging appeal.

Festival-goers seeking eclectic lineups and bucolic respite from the temperamental weather flocked to BMI’s stage to soak up the newly solo Patrick Stump; Latin-infused trendsetter Ceci Bastida; gusty outfit the Pretty Reckless; rootsy fiddler Ruby Jane; Aussie exports Boy & Bear; genre-jumpers The Chain Gang of 1974; rock quintet Electric Touch; bubblegoth wunderkind Kerli; hometown heroes Kids These Days; introspective popsters Typhoon; Southern-fried rockers the Kingston Springs; eclectic indies Deluka; thought-provoking singer/songwriter Lia Ices; fresh-faced troubadour Young Man; soulful rapper Sam Adams; power pair Black Cards; Grammy-nominated hit-maker Skylar Grey; and pop siren Christina Perri.

BMI is proud to present and sponsor stages at C3’s music festivals: Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Music Festival (September 16-18), and Langerado (October 8 & 9). BMI’s partnership with these elite festivals is designed to offer more prime showcasing opportunities to its songwriters, a distinct priority of the organization.
