Melanie Martinez's gentle voice at center of a theatrical set bursting with creativity: Lollapalooza review

On the Bud Light stage at Lollapalooza, Sunday night drew to a close with headliner Melanie Martinez, who didn’t attract as big a crowd as Blink-182 across the park. But the "Play Date" singer's fans are loyal and a few dozen of them proved it by waiting for her at the foot of the stage nearly all day.

Many wore T-shirts or carried tote bags from the ongoing Trilogy Tour, which will culminate in Europe this November. (And Chicago's very own Beach Bunny was one of the openers during the U.S. leg of the tour.)

Everyone in the crowd knew the words to the singer's opener, "Cry Baby," from her 2015 debut album of the same name. She's easily recognizable with her two-toned hair and pastel goth fashion ensembles.
