Lollapalooza kicked off its ninth year in Chicago yesterday and day one was, well, a mess. Attendees reportedly arrived to a glitched festival entrance. Lykke Li was reportedly nearly forced off stage by the festival's organizers. And, worst of all, Blood Orange was allegedly assaulted by three security guards after questioning why one guard grabbed his girlfriend, singer Samantha Urbani. On the bright side, Rihanna made a cameo during Eminem's headling set, which followed performances by Lorde, Lykke Li, Chvrches, Interpol, Iggy Azalea, Rudimental, Courtney Barnett, Warpaint, and Portugal. The Man, among others. And a ton of teens ran wild through the festival, smoking up, making out and passing out. Photographer Petya Shalamanova was on the festival grounds capturing all of the standout performances and crowd scenes.
