"CHICAGO \u2014 Only at a music festival can you discover a new indie rock band one moment and then see one of the world's most-famous musicians playing to tens of thousands the next moment \u2014 all in the same place. \nLollapalooza provides a unique opportunity to spend the day immersed in music from every corner of the globe and of every genre. While headliners like Calvin Harris, Eminem and Foster the People grab most of the attention, there are dozens of artists the mainstream audience hasn\u2019t picked up on yet that will blow you away. \nSee also: 35 Emotional Lollapalooza Performance Photos\nHere are eight acts who should be at the top of the bill one day.\n\n\n8 Lollapalooza Non-Headliners You Must to Hear\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n1. Hozier, \"Take Me To Church\"\nA sensation already in his home country of Ireland, Hozier's deeply moving \"Take Me To Church\" is the kind of breakout hit that cannot be ignored. Like a male Adele, his voice is overflowing with soul and a certain kind of sadness. He says more with his incredible vocal style than his lyrics. With much of his output being on the darker side, you do need to be in a certain mood to really get what he's saying, but when you do ... look out.\n\nVideo: YouTube, HozierMusic\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Vic Mensa, \"Down On My Luck\"\nVic Mensa is the perfect mix of everything that makes a big hit. He has a ridiculously smooth flow and he pairs it with '90s dance beats, creating instantly infectious hooks. \"Down On My Luck\" is his first major single, and what a way to introduce yourself to the masses. The track picks up where Azealia Banks left off with \"1991\" and throws you back to the days of La Bouche (remember \"Be My Lover\"?), which we all sorely miss.\n\nVideo: YouTube, VicMensaVEVO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. Bebe Rexha, \"I Can't Stop Drinking About You\"\nBebe Rexha has been working with major names in the industry for years, and her time to shine is just around the corner. After fronting Black Cards, the side project of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, Rexha went on to write Eminem and Rihanna's \"Monster\" as well as album tracks for the likes of Madonna and Selena Gomez. You heard her most recently on Cash Cash's \"Take Me Home,\" and you\u2019re going to love her own \"I Can\u2019t Stop Drinking About You.\"\n\nVideo: YouTube, Bebe Rexha\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. Johnnyswim, \"Home\"\nMarried couple Amanda Sudano and Abner Ramirez have been quietly making their name in the underground music world for years now, and with the release of their debut album Diamonds, the world is starting to catch on. The duo is popular in the alt-country field, and now that The Civil Wars have disbanded, Johnnyswim might become the new favorite duo. If you don't think country is your thing, you should still give them a go. This isn't your typical whiskey and trucks kind of show.\n\nVideo: YouTube, johnnyswim\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. London Grammar, \"Hey Now\"\nLead singer Hannah Reid's haunting vocals are enough to create a star, but thankfully London Grammar has the entire package. A perfect mix of expertly-timed guitar work and incredible beats, the band has made a name for itself by creating an entirely original style of music we didn't know we were missing. After guesting on Disclosure's hit \"Help Me Lose My Mind,\" the band went on to find success in the UK, racking up several top 40 hits. While it's hard to decide if their music is best suited for a club or a lounge, its beauty is undeniable.\n\nVideo: YouTube, London Grammar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. Wallpaper, \"Hesher\"\nWallpaper a.k.a. Ricky Reed, is another notable name behind the scenes working on breaking into the mainstream. His production specialty is twisted, dirty horns, which you can hear in some of the biggest hits this summer. After crafting hits for Far East Movement in the UK, he found success stateside composing Jason Derulo's \"Talk Dirty\" and \"Wiggle.\" Reed is poised to fill the void Kesha left when she dropped the $. Pop music will always need someone to encourage drinking until you pass out.\n\nVideo: YouTube, ThisIsWallpaperVEVO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Smallpools, \"Dreaming\"\nLos Angeles-based pop rock foursome Smallpools is still fairly new to the scene, but they are already one of the most buzzed-about bands out there. From the moment they released \"Dreaming,\" it was obvious they were going to become popular, and fast. The band has amazing pop sensibilities, and they create some of the happiest music out there. If you\u2019'e a fan of Passion Pit, this one's for you.\n\nVideo: YouTube, smallpoolsVEVO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Royal Blood, \"Little Monster\"\nWhile dance and electronic pop may be dominating the charts these days, there's always room for a great rock band. Right now it seems the UK is producing some of the best newcomers to the genre, and Royal Blood is one to know. The duo has opened for the Arctic Monkeys and was named by the BBC as a group that will define the sound of the year. \"Little Monster\" is a hard track with incredible guitar riffs -- the kind of thing you just don't hear enough of anymore.\n\nVideo: YouTube, Royal Blood\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHugh McIntyre is a music journalist based in New York City. He has written for Forbes, Huffington Post and MTV.
