YouTube has become the go-to place to enjoy concerts without leaving your house, and that trend continues this weekend as the site will be streaming the Lollapalooza music festival. This year’s iteration includes performances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, Jack White, The Shins, and more, all playing live from Grant Park in Chicago. The show actually kicked off at 11:30AM PT today and will continue to run through to Sunday (you can watch it all right here).
