Offering four days of pop, rock and hip-hop stars, Lollapalooza is Chicago's biggest summer festival.
Chicago's biggest summer music festival comes back to Grant Park every summer, hosting as many as 100,000 attendees each day, as well as the latest and greatest pop, rock and hip-hop stars. Lollapalooza 2022 promises to be just as gigantic as previous additions, setting up stages in the vicinity of some of Chicago's best attractions. We're still waiting for details about the lineup, but you'll likely be able to catch aftershows at Chicago's best music venues and take some late-night walks through the Loop. For now, you can relive some Lollapalooza memories with all of our coverage of the festival through the years—and the latest updates on Lollapalooza 2022.
