For Lollapalooza’s 25th Anniversary, SPIN was on site at the Toyota Music Den, where we invited many of the fest’s best and brightest to stop by for intimate performances and portraits shot by photographer Wilson Lee. We also asked the artists for a quick quote to accompany their photos, discovering that Houndmouth is infatuated by Brad Pitt, Bastille wants to dine with Rihanna, and that rapper D.R.A.M. has no hesitation in calling Michael Jordan the greatest of all time. Check out the photos and quotes below.
