Feast Your Eyes On This Bugnuts Video Of People Storming Lollapalooza
Everybody got in except for a young man with a prosthetic leg.
Lollapalooza, Chicago’s famed and long-running music festival, is trendy, cutting edge, and jam-packed with extraordinary musicians. It’s also very, very expensive.
This year, attending the four-day music festival will set you back a whopping USD$340. That’s almost five hundred Aussie bucks, a figure that will absolutely balloon when you consider you’ll also have to buy food, booze, accomodation, and potentially travel costs.
It’s not hard to imagine forking over a thousand bucks to attend the festival — which, particularly given the way that the international job market is pivoting towards lower pay and casual hours, is a baffling thought.
Sure, you’ll get to see one helluva lineup: this year’s headliners include Childish Gambino, Ariana Grande, the Strokes, Tame Impala, J Balvin, Twenty One Pilots, Flume, and the Chainsmokers. But in a job economy where there’s always the threat your contract will simply not be renewed, you’d be forgiven for sitting at home with Youtube and a quart of whiskey and trying to replicate the festival’s pleasures cheaply rather than making the long and expensive trip.
Indeed, for all these reasons, it’s not so surprising that footage has emerged of hundreds of punters scaling the Lollapalooza fence, desperately storming their way into the festival for the low price of nothing at all, and the high risk of being nabbed the cops.
The video, as one might expect, is absolutely bug nuts, particularly the very final reveal, which involves a young gentleman with a prosthetic leg.
Check out what I mean:
Damn
100+ people snuck into Lolla by hopping the fence. Wait til you see the 1 dude they didn’t catch ? pic.twitter.com/SdfyAYKDiZ— GlobalRapNews (@GlobalRapNews) August 2, 2019
It is, at least according to this writer, highly slack that the one person who didn’t make it into the festival via the hallowed art of the fence-jump has a prosthetic leg.
Although, to be honest, the video doesn’t show any kind of aftermath of the fence-jumping, so it’s highly possible that he wasn’t the only one who didn’t get to enjoy a day of music and good vibes.
