If you’re going to the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago this weekend, here are some handy tools for your iPhone.
The official Lolla app offers a list and schedule of when and where bands are playing. The app includes a map of the venue’s stages, an integrated Facebook app to post pictures, and a channel from Slacker Radio that plays music from the acts.
That Lollapalooza channel is also available on the standard Slacker Radio app, by the way, and a recommended listen. (I’ve been playing it all week.)
Also, the Facebook portion of the Lolla app includes a “friend finder” feature so you can check out where your pals are at the show and arrange for meetings using the iPhone’s GPS to plant a “digital flag” of where you’re hanging out.
Finally, AOL’s Lifestream service is offering a Lolla booth where you can use free Wi-Fi, charge your mobile phone and enter a contest to sit in with interviews of top acts from Lollapalooza. And if you’re not going to Lolla, you can use Lifestream to watch streaming content from the show, including live concert footage.
