• Photo Recap of Lollapalooza 2015: A$AP Rocky, Sam Smith, Charli XCX and More

    Lollapalloza packs about as much variety into a music festival as possible, ranging from Paul McCartney to The Weeknd, from Metallica to Bassnectar on the headlining stages. The rainbow of colors on display onstage makes for a photographer's paradise, and Music Times was among the publications that sent our shutterbugs to gather images from the party. Writer Ryan Book tried his best not to look out of place in the photo pit over the weekend.

  • Lollapalooza 2015 Day 1 Review & Recap: Paul McCartney Ageless, Young Thug Rages

    The first day of Lollapalooza, one of the biggest music festivals in the United States and the gem of the Midwest scene, kicked off in dramatic fashion on Friday night in Chicago with headlining performances from Paul McCartney, The Weeknd, Young Thug and more.

  • Lollapalooza 2015 Live Stream Lineup Schedule Announced

    Gates open to Lollapalooza in just over 24 hours and the excitement for Chicago's biggest music festival is palpable. The three-day festival is sold-out to fans looking to get in on the action last minute, but for those who weren't able to score tickets or don't live in the area, Lolla has another option to view all the action.

  • Queen Elizabeth and Concerts: The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, One Direction and More

    Fifty years ago on this date, The Beatles debuted its new film, Help!, in London and there was a very big name in the crowd at the debut: Queen Elizabeth II. This constituted arguably the greatest gathering of famous British-folk in the last century, while also demonstrating that the monarch was more than happy to take in popular entertainment along with her constituents (a fan site for the Royal Family notes that she has considerably more "lowbrow" taste than her husband, Prince Philip). If you need more proof of the Queen's enjoyment of popular music, here are some more instances from recent (and not so recent) years.

  • Kurt Cobain, The Beatles and Michael Jackson: Bad Musician Statues

    A humorous petition has suggested that Outkast's Andre 3000 and Big Boi be carved into Georgia's historic Stone Mountain, a monument near Atlanta that's drawn controversy for its homage to the Confederacy in the form of Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson in Mt. Rushmore-style. Our official stance at Music Times is that the ATLiens riding in a Cadillac on the side of the mountain wouldn't hurt. And, even if it does border on the absurd, it wouldn't be the worst statue of a musician to be erected. Alas, The Beatles, Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson (especially Michael Jackson) have been subjected to attempted memorials that fall way short of tastefulness.
