Sabrina Carpenter, Man’s Best Friend

The pop star embraces the risqué and ribald double (or triple) entendre on her latest record while sticking to the success-filled formula of last summer’s breakout LP.

Slow Crush, Thirst

The Belgian shoegazers’ noisier and more mature third record takes the form of a hopeful manifesto that the human race still has the opportunity to reinvent itself.

Blood Orange, Essex Honey

Dev Hynes’ guest-filled yet distinctly lonely first album in seven years takes his usual complex arrangements, epic electronica, and intricate melody-making and pushes them into the red.

With over 115,000 fans attending Lollapalooza each day of the four-day festival, it can be a massive cluster navigating the expansive festival grounds at Grant Park in Chicago. When she wasn’t trekking from stage to stage capturing incredible live images with Christian Sarkine for FLOOD, photographer Bella Peterson was connecting with a handful of artists backstage to shoot intimate behind-the-scenes portraits.

Take a look at those below, and find our full live coverage from Lollapalooza 2025 here.
