From Foos in the monsoon, to the legions of Eminem and Deadmau5 devotees, plenty of action went down at Lollapalooza 2011. A small slice of it, however, happened behind the scenes, out of sight from festival-goers.

Backstage in the Billboard Tent, artists mixed and mingled, strapped on acoustic guitars, and brought their A-game in stripped-down performance sessions. Scroll through our video player below to watch sets from Karmin and Skylar Grey (who tackled Dre, Em and Skylar's "I Need a Doctor" together, impromptu-style), the Joy Formidable, Lissie, Grouplove, and Deluka. And be sure to check out our backstage portrait gallery for more behind the scenes action at Lolla.
