Puke will be eaten and dumps will be taken in the open, as after all, this is Lollapalooza 2016!
Lollapalooza is one festival that you can always rely on for an insane time. It’s the ideal music festival, with hordes of extremely inebriated people, fantastic lineup and a bit of mud. And all of this combined give us some of the most glorious stories we have ever heard. Tales of sex in portapotties and people peeing on other people.
Here are 10 times Lollapalooza was batshit crazy and we loved it for that!
1. The time someone broke a streetlight to the chants of ‘USA, USA, USA!’

3. Or when a guy in a wheelchair managed to crowd surf during a Two Door Cinema Club performance
A similar incident took place during Kendrick Lamar’s performance in 2013. Stereogum sums it up pretty well here:
‘Towards the end of the set, the stadium cams zoomed in on a guy in a wheelchair who was crowd surfing to the front. He made it to the photopit, where he presumably had a much better view, and his feat inspired another dude in a wheelchair to crowd surf HIMself to the front. Once that started, Kendrick stopped the set, speechless, and stared out into the audience of tens of thousands, who were chanting something (that might have been “wheelchair!”). He made it to the front, too, and Kendrick, obviously choked up, said, “That was a 10, what y’all did. Since he had the energy to get all the way up here, I’m taking this shit to a motherfucking 15!” The dudes in wheelchairs in the pit were busy giving high-fives to everyone in the front row, though. Amazing.‘

4. When this guy back backflipped into a river
Redditor ichoochoochooseU encountered a pretty strange sight while leaving the festival this one time. Read on:
‘Last year when I was leaving the festival there were a bunch of bros persuading a guy to jump into the river, right before he was going to initially jump a boat tour passed right underneath. He eventually followed through and did a backflip. Id give him a 6/10.‘

5. When the festival set some pretty low relationship goals.
‘Some guy was heavy petting some chick he met during Skrillex and she was stroking his sausage pretty furiously for almost the whole set. Funny thing is this chick at one point screamed out “Marry me!” and after the set ended and the lights went on I think the guy just realized what a mistake he made and jumped over the middle barriers and vanished. Fun times.‘

6. Because Lollapalooza restored our faith in crowds
‘A guy peed himself while standing right next to me, a girl in front of me fainted from claustrophobia, and a group was passing around a baggie of cocaine while one guy snorted some off of his phone; this was all while I was standing in the crowd waiting for Arctic Monkeys to come on, which was a great show regardless of what was going on in the crowd.‘

8. When it just got waaay too graphic
‘When I was waiting in line to get in today a guy reached around his girlfriend and put his hands inside her halter. A guy in front of them turned around and looked at the boyfriend’s hands moving around under her top and his eyes got really wide. I guess he was high as a kite and thought her boobs were moving around under their own power. I saw a muddy girl take off her bikini top and toss it in the mud. She was topless until a friend gave her a wet t shirt to wear. A guy came out of a port-a-potty with his pant still at his knees. His junk was exposed. A few girls gasped, but a couple laughed right in his face. Poor guy. A also saw a lot of sideboob, nipple slips, and wet tshirts, but that’s barely worth mentioning.‘

9.The festival is home to some kind and extremely high souls as well
‘We were leaving after outcast on Saturday, and some dude by the entrance was leaning up against a cop car (completely out of it) and handing out $10 bills to people. The next day we were walking around and saw him being carted out by medics around 11am.‘

10. When the people at the festival decided to stay classy as ever!
‘Saw 3 girls front row Perry stage Sunday who came grossly prepared to hold down that spot…They decided it was okay to start peeing right there front row right next to me….Without sanitising her nasty muddy hands, next thing she does is she pulls out a ziplock bag full of soggy chicken tenders and eats em with her hands.‘
