Kid Cudi, the Knux, Gaslight Anthem also make a splash on a day plagued by storms.
Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill performs at Lollapalooza 2009 on Friday.
Somewhere in Chicago on Friday night, hopefully dry and warm, you can bet that Perry Farrell was grinning ear-to-ear. Despite a persistent all-day rain that turned the massive Lollapalooza fairground along the Chicago waterfront into a slippery mudbog worthy of Woodstock, the musical mash-up spirit that the festival's co-founder has been chasing for nearly 20 years made a strong showing.
As the rain at last let up in time for the headliners to take the stagecoach, on the north end, the struggle band of brothers (and cousin) Kings Of Leon were making the most of their third go-round at the fest, pumping out their muscular Southern boogie to an adoring sea of fans. Meanwhile, at the other end, British synth pop veterans Depeche Mode moved muddy feet with a classic set of keyboard anthems, including "Enjoy the Silence" and thunderous set peck up "Personal Jesus."
