Would you really want to ignore a singer that Rolling Stone compares to “a young Robert Plant”? A female singer? Don’t miss your chance to catch Erika Wennerstrom and her band, the Heartless Bastards (inspired by a misnomer of Tom Petty’s backing band in a trivia game), as they bring a unique variety of soulful guitar rock straight from Austin to the stage at Lollapalooza. Keep your ears pinned for key tracks from their third album, The Mountain (Fat Possum), including the title track, “Out at Sea,” and “Early in the Morning,” that would have even Plant professing all of his love.

Heartless Bastards perform at 3:00 p.m. at the Vitamin Water Stage.
