The final day of the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago’s Grant Park is coming to a close with headliners Blink-182 and Melanie Martinez taking the stage. Festival-goers have been enjoying the summer-like weather throughout the weekend, and Sunday is expected to be just as hot.
Memories of Stormy Weather
Trina Sampson recalls the storm that nearly wiped out the festival last year, but this year, the weather has been on their side with hot and humid conditions. Festival attendees have been dressing appropriately for the weather, with many opting for breathable and comfortable clothing.
Weekend Lineup Highlights
The four-day event kicked off with Chappell Roan drawing a huge crowd on Thursday. Megan Thee Stallion, SZA, and Stray Kids headlined subsequent nights, with The Killers, Future, and Metro Boomin taking the stage on Saturday night. Each night brought a unique energy and musical experience for attendees to enjoy.
Transportation Tips for Attendees
If you’re heading to downtown Lollapalooza, city officials recommend using public transportation to ease congestion. Metra is adding extra trains to accommodate concertgoers, while the CTA suggests relying on the Red and Blue Lines. Additionally, Yellow Line service will be extended until 1 am each night. Several bus routes connect Metra trains at Union Station and Ogilvie to Grant Park, providing convenient options for getting to and from the festival.
