LIVE REVIEW: INNERVIEW DOES LOLLAPALOOZA, SUNDAY 8/6

On the final day of Lollapalooza, guests were greeted with plentiful sunshine and a comfortable drop in temperature, as girl power was in the air with big-name pop acts pulling out all the stops early. Swedish singer Tove Lo served an emotionally invested, barefoot performance which included songs from her new record Lady Wood — and at one point she even performed topless. UK pop phenom Charli XCX also returned to the Lolla stage, equipped with a few tricks up her sleeve including a surprise visit from Halsey, with whom she performed a well-received rendition of the Spice Girls classic “Wannabe”. (Chicago’s very own Cupcakke was also there, urging the crowd to “moan with her”.) Big Sean made the crowd “bounce back” over at the Bud Light stage and debuted an unreleased new track which featured guest vocals from Travis Scott. Yet it wasn’t until Arcade Fire took the stage that one of the best Lolla performances in recent memory unfolded as they delivered a life-affirming, power-packed show that included songs from as far back as fans can remember. From the moment their set kicked off with a furious rendition of new hit “Everything Now” until the time it concluded with a beautiful cover of John Lennon’s “Mind Games”, the crowd was captivated by the sprawling Canadian art rock collective as Win Butler climbed atop amps and Regine Chassagne thrashed around stage in a red leather jumpsuit. As the crowd existed their set, emotionally drained with huge smiles on their faces, the disappointment of night one was a distant fading memory — replaced by something much more powerful and lasting.
