The clamor of music enthusiasts was loud and clear at BMI’s Lollapalooza stage, held at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field in Chicago on August 7-9. Performances on the BMI stage kicked off each day at 11:15 a.m., setting the pace at the annual music festival known for its wide-ranging appeal.
BMI’s eclectic lineup provided a blend of sounds, showmanship and good ole live music.
Presenting acts from stateside and abroad, the stage showcased myriad rock, electro-pop, and singer/songwriter acts including local favorite Joe Pug; storytelling siren Ke$ha; multi-instrumentalists Gringo Star; guitar strumming April Smith; and colorful crooner Esser.
BMI is proud to present and sponsor stages at both of C3 and Capital Sports & Entertainment’s music festivals: Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival (October 2-4). BMI’s partnership with the elite festivals is designed to offer more prime showcasing opportunities to its songwriters, a distinct priority of the organization.
