Tickets for Lollapalooza 2018 are already on sale, and if you think that folks are crazy for buying them a full year in advance, then you might want to look at these photos and think again.

CL'S LOVE LETTER TO CHICAGO

For its 2017 edition, Creative Loafing Tampa sent our resident Lolla-lifer, photographer Tracy May, into the pit. In a nice twist, we also sent one of our summer interns — Mady Dudley — on her first ever festival assignment It was her 21st birthday.

Have a look at 200 photos of bands like Arcade Fire, 21 Savage, Migos, Maggie Rogers, Mac Demarco and more below. Read Mady's Lolla list of things she learned here.

See you next year, Chicago. If you're hungry for Windy City eats then look here.
