Last Minute Plans: Locals Only Lolla Kickoff Party

By Tankboy in Arts & Entertainment on Jul 28, 2011 6:00PM

Lollapalooza is still a week away, but you can start celebrating its imminent arrival tonight at Angels & Kings. Organizers have rounded up a few of the Q101 DJs left in the cold by the stations recent format change to provide the soundtrack to evening's festivities. Although, truth be told, of the four on the bill, only two were actually a DJs, another was a host of a local music show and the third, well, we're not sure what he did. But that doesn't matter! Tim Pogo, Tim, Virgin Chris Payne and Jaime Black are committed to spinning tunes to get you through the night. Just don't ask any of them to play you some Limp Bizket, we're pretty sure that's one corner of Q101's past they're all happy to have left behind. The gig kicks off at 9 p.m. and lasts until close, but we suggest getting there in the first hour since we hear there's a hosted bar by Titos vodka.

RSVP for free entry.

Oh! And as a bonus, you can download a sampler of a few Lolla artists, so head here and enter code HRHLOLLA to get a listen.

Tonight, July 28 at Angels & Kings, in the Hard Rock Hotel, 230 N. Michigan, 9 p.m., free with RSVP, 21+
