Is It Hot In Here?

An outdoor concert at first sounds like a pretty good idea. Get outside, enjoy the day, get a tan & get a buzz on. No problem.

Except when you combine 75,000 people into a relatively confined area, keep them there 10hrs, and assume minimal hygiene for many to begin with...things get a bit sticky. Okay, you sweat like hell sometimes. But if you're on stage, that's pretty much to be expected - if you're not, you're not working for it. So here's some shots of the Sweatiest Bands of Lollapalooza 2008.

Black Keys? Very Sweaty.

Cee-Lo from Gnarls Barkley? Oh Crazy Sweaty.

Cat Power? Not so sweaty.

Jack White playing with the Raconteurs? Sweatiest Man in Showbiz, people!

Sweatiest crowd? Those awaiting Rage Against the Machine. This was probably a good hour before the show even started. Most of the people in the front got pulled out because of the HUGE surge forward once the tunes kicked in.
