Lollapalooza was definitely a great success this year. If you weren't in attendance, you probably saw plenty of your friends posting photos and videos online of the eclectic lineups. One stand out performance came from folk band Mumford and Sons. Check out their complete Lollapalooza set below!

Here is an excerpt of Billboard's coverage of the Mumford and Sons set from 2013's Lollapalooza festival:

"We're going to show you how to dance," Marcus Mumford, frontman of the mighty Mumford & Sons, exclaimed ahead of "I Will Wait," half-way through a set that had already seen a traffic jam of fans erupt into spontaneous clap-alongs during nearly every song. The crowd responded in kind with the set's biggest cheer and a starry sea of smartphones held aloft. While the band got enthusiastic hoots all along the way -- including a particularly hearty sing-along to key "Little Lion Man" lyric "I really f*cked it up this time / didn't I, my dear?" -- all the warm, furiously strummed acoustic sounds had to compete not only with Steve Angello's beats from across the way over at Perry's stage, but also with the booming, annual fireworks shooting over nearby Soldier Field in the sky behind them. Still, the band got truly quiet for a beautiful, nearly unplugged cover of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm On Fire," which effectively forced the crowd to concentrate to hear every dulcet note. "Ted's alive," Marcus quipped, nodding to bassist Ted Dwane whose brain surgery nixed the band's Bonnaroo set earlier this summer. In fine form, Dwane worked his bass alongside his bandmates as "The Cave" brought the set to an end.

Fans were definitely happy to see Ted Dwane back in action and performing well. All in all, Mumford and Sons was reportedly one of the highlights from the weekend festival.
