Lolla Recap 2/3: Inside the Music Zone

And now, for the second Lolla vignette of the day: 


     When the skies opened up on Friday's set list, Cage The Elephant was unfazed, taking to their set like seagulls to food on a beach. The ferocity of their play impressed many. Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan left some things to be desired in his set, falling back on his DJ for the final 20 minutes of his act. One of the most committed fans there was Rich Viola, who camped out in the front row early for one of the shows-in full gorilla costume. Another fan who was committed in an, um, different way was a follower of Portugal, The Man who was determined to go full on groupie with the band's front man. Just one problem: she was plying her skanky trade in the front row-of the kid's stage. You stay classy, Lolla! One of the most anticipated acts was Calvin Harris, who did not disappoint. At one point, his bass drop was so intense that it rendered one reporter's camera inoperative for a few hours. Which makes it even more astounding that a girl was seen TALKING ON THE PHONE in the FRONT ROW of Harris' show. Additionally, many different things were held up by attendees, including sex dolls, dolphin balloons, and fake Gary Busey heads. Speaking of the attendees, there was another interaction of note: after the Calvin Harris show, one of the exiting girls drunkenly fondled someone's face. Of course, what would people-watching be without quotes? So, here's an apt one to round out the piece: "It's Sunday. Please enjoy. The struggle is real". Yes indeed. The struggle is most definitely real.
