Time to dust off this classic:
This thead is useless without pics.
How do we know they're specifically lesbians?
They were all wearing Birkenstocks.
Well it was bound to break out somewhere.
Such a shame it had to be there and not here… I could've had a particularly fun workout today
This is the Insta reel (I don't think it's necessary to read the article, and that site is full of trackers - yes, more than Instagram).

The audience really do feel like they're performing to camera rather than genuinely having fun 😥
the world is healing ❤️
Ok as a lesbian I just want to say that this is not a Lollapalooza specific thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Wait are you saying lesbians as a whole will just see a pile of mud and have a intrinsic urge to wrassle?
I mean kinda yeah at least enough of us do
I prefer being beaten with a stick by a beautiful girl, personally, but yes, many lesbian flirtation displays involve relatively stupid relatively low stakes violence.
Just like many straight courtship displays.
Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down
i know! It's so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let's list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!
Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.
Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.
They might be thinking more Society of Creative Anachronism [SCA], don't know what those guys are up to these days though.
Dame here. It kind of sucks and isn't worth going to more than a couple of times unless you have a giant wad of cash burning a hole in your wallet. They have permanent buildings and all of the acts and shops are the same every year.
Ah yes. Her Excellency, Dame lyrial.
I am leaving this fortunate typo :p
Damn right! And don’t you forget it!
I used to go to one of those. It has a lot going for it in terms of live acts, but basically it's always the same. I stopped once I realized I was paying for the privilege of attending a Medieval Times themed shopping mall.
Scarborough?
Nah, it's the GA state ren faire.
Well typically it's a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you're in the scene you'll find out...
Did you just assume my gender? cause... what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?
Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.
Is it lesbian mud wrestling or is it sparkling same-sex sexy grappling? Trying to figure out if WWE is gay platform wrestling by the same definitions
I know a lot of gay pro wrestling fans.
In sumo, Ichiyamamoto literally has a life sized poster of Wakatakakage in his bedroom (they're the same age).
It seems like a normal Lollapalooza thing tbh, I had no idea it wasn't!
Alternate link that doesn't make me visit insta or tiktok, please?

Cheers,
Fine I found this

That video was posted 14 years ago, though 😅
Sounds like we need more lesbian mud wrestling... Done annually
Yes. 🙃
Glad to see some of the original lollapalooza spirit still around
90% of the peole watching... women.
Well. They did say lesbian.
And the guys watching suddenly find themselves with a place to rest their cameras.
Im glad were still doing fun things
I'm perusing New, but this belongs in the Hot section.
If men are mud wrestling, I say "wack his nards"
If women are mud wrestling, I say "take her top off"
NGL. Everyone's going to cheer when they happen
I'd argue that both go against the spirit of the game.
The spirit of mud wrestling?
Maybe the nut slapping, but taking off top during mud wrestling is a perfectly reasonable way to get advantage for all genders and non binary
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: “These events are lame and my back hurts.”
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: "I should go to Lollapalooza."
Then: This isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. Kinda boring.
Now: I'm glad they're having enjoying themselves, and I'm glad I'm not there.
Why aren’t men ever mud wrestling?
I don't want to get dirty.
nobody cares if men do it.
man fixes his own car... nobody cares.
woman fixes her own car... articles are written about it.
::: spoiler spoiler They kiss at the end. :::
How is this news? Isn’t this a normal, scheduled event at lollapalooza? I haven’t been in a very long time, but… Isn’t this normal?
Iirc, there’s a whole schedule of mud wrestling events
If the news can run "story about a struggling individual or animal overcoming odds through community support or sheer will, like the sickly squirrel nursed back to health by a man trapped in a collapsed cave."... For the thousandth time...
Let's just say I would rather watch this every year
Comparing lesbian mud wrestling to a sickly squirrel is a bit rude, even in the context of “what might best grab headlines”. I know it was a joke, but still…
Equating people with animals, even indirectly, isn’t nice. It sets the precedent that there is a context where that’s acceptable, when that’s not acceptable in any context.
it's not about nice. it's about what gets the most clicks and brings in the most ad revenue.
the context is 'story that makes us the most money gets run'
Yeah, well, I will admit that “lesbians mud wrestling“ is a fucking ton of fun to watch
Lollapalooza or not
No, I was simply stating that as fluff pieces go, it's a good one. Fluff pieces can be about many topics, the relative value of the individual subjects is irrelevant.
They look like they're having so much fun!
This isn't normal?
Are you sure???
I'll be in my bunk.
Is this a singular mosh pit?
I was shocked that Lollapalooza is still around
you'd be more shocked at the ticket prices.
$400 retail, $800 on the resale market.
VIP is about 2 grand, higher on resale.
I live 15 mins from Grant Park. It is still the biggest event in Chicago every summer without fail.
L1: Great taste!
L2: Less filling!
Brawl begins
I can’t wait until they start selling lollapalooza pearls.
Not pearls, a string of amethyst.
ok ty mr lollapalooza shill
And the crowd are going wild!
How about fencing?
How about jousting?
That’s what I mean. Wrestling seems to be the -yawn- cheap option.
As long as they aren't wearing many clothes, they can go full Mortal Kombat for all I care.
Whereas some were trying to turn this into a more cultured event, others revert to sexism. Bah.
somewhere billie joe instinctively ducked
Mmm, roundworm eggs right in my mouth please!
Pretty girls: mud wrestle
You: talk about roundworm eggs
Do you see the issue!?
The parasites eggs and larvae in dirt and mud are really the issue.
Then you better stay at home and never go outside for the rest of your life if the outside world is too scary for you. Ever heard of viruses?
The rest of us will enjoy some scantily clad ladies fake-fighting in a mud pit.
Oof. That's one way to look at it.
How about this, if I'm ever in a situation where I must wrestle anyone, I'll insist we do so in a plastic pool filled with KY Jelly rather than mud.
Stupid people being stupid
You sound like a lot of fun to be around.
