The first-ever four-day edition of Lollapalooza is over, but the memories (and the ringing in our ears) linger on. For its 25th birthday, the mighty party pulled out all the stops, including multiple Chance The Rapper sightings, surprisingly good weather and some of the best festival fashion around. And we were lucky enough to be there for all of it.
Re-live the action on Red Bull TV and check out some of greatest moments of this year's Lollapalooza below.
