My partner and I are heading to Lollapalooza for the first time!! We are staying in Hyde Park. looking for fun spots to keep the party going after the festival lets out.
Are the bands after parties a good time?? We tried some after riotfest and it was meh. Not opposed to giving it another shot
We love any and anything lively and worth checking out. Would love some recommendations from fellow redditors
does anyone know how early someone can wait in line before they open the gates? i saw something that they’ll remove you from the line if you’re caught camping out a couple hours before
Hi! I’m 21 🏳️🌈 and I’ll be going to Lollapalooza solo! I’m coming from Akron, Ohio, and thought it’d be cool to meet some people beforehand. If anyone else is going alone or has room for one more in their group, I’d love to hang out! 😊
We are like 3 weeks away from another stellar Lolla weekend, and Sunday still hasn’t sold out. It’s clear they overestimated Tate’s popularity at a major music festival, they needed maybe one more heavy hitter(Pink Pantheress), and not closing with a rap headliner on Sunday was probably not a good choice either. That being said, I still think Sunday is better than Saturday overall. Here’s all the highlights IMO.
****Early Acts****
Jackie Hollander- Rising EDM DJ playing Perry’s at 12:40pm
Stella Lefty- Not a country fan, but if you like Ella Langley and Kacey Musgraves: give her a spin at 12:30 on Lake Shore(Allianz).
Snacktime- They give me Vulfpeck funky vibes. They play BMI at 1:00.
New Constellations- They give me Cannons, MUNa vibes. They play at 1:15pm on T-Mobile.
Whatmore- Do you miss Brockhampton? The hip-hop collective: then check out this up and coming rap and pop band. They play Bud Light at 1:30.
After- This is an on the rise alt rock band with hazy vibes. They play at 1:50 on the Grove(Air BNB).
Cruz Beckham and the Breakers- Reminds me of Declan McKenna. Alt rocker plays Petrillo(Tito’s) at 2:15pm.
Water From Your Eyes- Eclectic alt rock band, reminds me of English Teacher. They play the Grove(Air BNB) at 2:50pm.
Adela- Rising pop star plays T-Mobile at 3:00pm.
Amber Mark- This R&B pop star makes her Lolla debut, has Kali Uchis vibes/Olivia Dean. Very underrated: she plays Lake Shore(Allianz) at 3:45pm.
Dombresky- EDM house DJ, one of the best in the game atm. He plays Perry’s at 4:15pm.
INJI- Power dance pop rising star, plays Grove(Air BNB) at 4:00pm.
Wunderhorse- UK rock band with a big sound, they give me Fontaines DC vibes for those wondering why they aren’t on the lineup! This band fills that void! They play Petrillo(Tito’s) at 4:00pm.
Yoasabi- Frenetic J Pop takes the main stage at Bud Light, they play at 5:00pm.
MUNA- Still kicking after all these years, pop stars MUNA returns to Lolla with new music. They play T-Mobile at 4:45pm.
Duke Dumont- Veteran EDM house DJ returns to Lolla, and will blaze Perry’s at 5:45pm.
Jade- A rare chance to see a talented pop star solo break from pop star band Little Mix, with some serious dance pop bangers. She plays Lake Shore(Allianz) at 5:45pm.
Hot Mulligan- Emo rock band on the rise makes their Lolla debut on Petrillo(Tito’s) at 6:00pm.
Beabadoobee- Alt pop star returns to Lolla with new music and her biggest spot to date, a sub spot on T-Mobile at 6:45pm.
Eli Brown- Another quality DJ spins on Perry’s at 7:00pm.
Turnstile- If you were at their Grove set in 2022, then you know not to miss this rock band’s biggest spot at Lolla on Bud Light at 7:00pm.
Vandelux- Probably the closest thing to a Rufus Du Sol on this lineup. Very underrated live electronic band. They play at 8:00 on Petrillo(Tito’s).
Fakemink- UK rapper on the rise brings his eclectic sound to the Grove(Air BNB) at 7:45pm.
AESPA- K-Pop stars make their Lolla debut, closing down Lake Shore(Allianz) at 7:45pm.
Chainsmokers- You have to admit this is pretty wild to see one of the biggest hit DJs of the last decade closing Perry’s. They close Perry’s at 8:30pm.
Ado- Just like Yoasabi, another eclectic pop and rock act from Japan is on display. They close the Grove(Air BNB) at 9:15pm.
The XX- One of the best electronic led rock bands returns to Lolla after almost a decade, and closes Bud Light again. This time they have 3 albums to play from their work together, solo material from each of its members as well: you really don’t want to miss out on this.
Tate Mcrae- I’ve only heard good things about her live, not my cup of tea: but for any pop girlie this is where you will be closing your night. High energy pop star closes Lolla out on T-Mobile.
Told you, Sunday has a lot to offer.
Hi everyone! This will be my first time at Lolla and first time in Chicago and I’m very nervous about getting to and from the festival by myself. I’m staying in the middle of South Loop and Near South Side I believe. I’ve been trying to figure out bus/trains but am so confused by all of it. Any help is appreciated!
I bought a 1-Dat Sat GA ticket off TM Exchange yesterday. Already received a confirmation email from Lollapalooza that mentioned the wristband would be mailed closer to the festival date.
I'm from out of state and will be in Chicago the week before (coming in on Fri 7/24). Do you think the wristband will arrive in time?
i bought 2 friday passes on stubhub 2 weeks ago and they haven’t shipped yet i’m starting to freakout is there something i could do
So i know theres after parties after Lolla, are they worth it or should we just go the bars near out hotel? we are all 21-22 and are staying at the Hilton Garden Mccormick Place. What is the general vibe or idea fir when lolla ends at 10 and people still want to be out?
Hey everyone!
I have tickets for Thurs and Fri, but now may be able to go Saturday as well. Just wondering if ticket prices ever go below face value closer to the event? I would be willing to join the waitlist, but if day tickets get cheaper that would be even better!
Any advice/knowledge is welcome and thank in advance :)
Hey, so I have still not gotten off the waitlist and was looking into buying a pass on a resale platform or on like Facebook/reddit. And was wondering how I would be able to verify a pass is legit or if there’s anything I need to watch out for to avoid any issues.
Anyone else have this issue? Last year I got two separate wristbands. Now I am concerned that if I try to get in on Saturday with a Friday wristband I am going to get denied. Front Gate isn't doing a thing about it. Anyone else? Better way to handle this?
I found myself needing the full lineup written out, but I couldn't find it anywhere already done. Sharing here since I've already done it in case anyone could benefit from this as well.

hi my friend bailed on me and i got an extra wristband to sell!! im looking to sell it for $400 i can ship it out to u asap and can send proof aswell!!!
i would be coming from portage. i am curious about safety and if it’s busy/very crowded. i would only be commuting to Chicago the first day and then back on Sunday. i’ve never taken these trains, but they seem like they’d be pretty safe… i am just nervous about taking it at night alone. i know i need to be aware of my surroundings and that it’s going to be a long ride. i would just rather not drive my car and park in the city.
So, I’m driving in for the festival and we are going to be staying around 30 mins away from Grant Park. Originally we were thinking just taking the L and getting Ubers for each day (as we normally do) but I saw that there are parking passes available for the festival and they are def cheaper than the Ubers. Does anyone have experience with this? Is this a good idea? Any tips or input would be appreciated.
What are some of the sponsor installations and non programming fun that you’re looking forward to? We like to get in the park early and use the first hour to try and hit up some of the things that pique our interests before the music starts. I’ve really dug the Ulta station, and the Red Bull mocktail station is hit up all through out the day, what about y’all?
Sooo since its so close to lolla i assume that there is no change getting off the waitlist now. So when would be the best time to get tickets? Should I wait to till closer or is anything that below 750 the a good price? This is my first time ever wanting to go so im not sure if itll get cheaper closer to the fest
