Lollapalooza Videos Are a Two Way Street

The Lollapalooza music festivalkicks off on Friday in Chicago, but fans and bands are already mingling on the site's video section, which is broken down into two channels. Wired reports.

"Channel 1 will feature backstage interviews with bands, fans and other exclusive stuff shot by two Lollapalooza employees using one "real" camera plus a more compact one.

Meanwhile, the aptly named Channel You features videos shot by fans who are encouraged to "film anything you can with your phones and cameras" on site or at home as they prepare for the festival.

Both sections will be updated with new uploads before and during the event, giving concertgoers a chance to say which bands they think are going to be best, review the shows they've already seen and share their experiences at the event. Those who aren't attending can watch unlimited clips on both channels for free."
