CHICAGO -- With eight stages and some 150 acts performing across three days at Lollapalooza this weekend, there's probably something for everyone. Maybe you're only at Grant Park -- or any festival -- for the headliners? Or maybe you aren't into the biggest acts, but show up early to take in some of the lesser-known artists? Or maybe you just roll with friends and don't even know who's on the lineup?
No matter what, though -- and even if you hate all the music that's surrounding you -- there's plenty to do that's not related to what's happening onstage. From mouth-watering food to small shops to secluded lounging options, you could spend a weekend here and completely avoid the jams (not saying you should, but still).
