Lollapalooza is the granddaddy of the modern American music festival, and this year represents the legendary event’s 25th anniversary. To celebrate, they are presenting an immense, special four-day line-up, headlined by the likes of Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among the 160+ artists appearing at the Chicago event, taking place July 28-31.

The show sold out in a matter of a couple of hours, so if you didn’t act fast, you are out of luck… Or are you…???

Thanks to your pals at KCRW, you’ve got another chance! Over the next month, we are running a fabulous Lollapalooza sweepstakes for KCRW members, where if you join or renew your membership this month, you’ll be entered for an opportunity to win a special package including two VIP passes, hotel accommodations, and roundtrip flights to the 25th anniversary of Lollapalooza! That’s four full days of music!

Innumerable bands you first heard on KCRW will be performing, from Major Lazer to Kurt Vile, dance music masters like Disclosure and Flume, indie-rock favorites like Frightened Rabbit and the Arcs, acclaimed up-&-comers like Bob Moses, Cloves and Wolf Alice, to seasoned veterans like M83, Local Natives and Foals, all spread over eight stages. You might even spot one of Chicago’s best chefs offering up their wares for hungry concert-goers.

It’s the perfect way support the station that supports these artists: by seeing a historic festival in the center of one of America’s great cities, on the banks of Lake Michigan in beautiful Grant Park.

So enter the Lolla-Sweepstakes by becoming a new or renewing member at KCRW.com/join & we’ll send one of you and a guest on a serious rock’n’roll vacation! But act fast & don’t blow it a second time! The sweepstakes ends this month!
