From Aug. 1 through the 4th, Lollapalooza will be taking place in Grant Park. At the festival, there will be 170 bands performing across eight stages and a wide host of artists coming together to celebrate music and the surrounding culture.

Lollapalooza is an annual music festival and a staple of Chicago summers. Formerly a traveling festival, it made a permanent home in Chicago and has since grown to be one of the biggest events of the festival season. This year will see a diverse list of classic and rising acts come together for the weekend.

Headlining on the first day will be Tyler, The Creator and Hozier. On the second day, it will be SZA and Stray Kids. The third day will see The Killers and Future X Metro Boomin. Blink-182 and Melanie Martinez will close out the festival as the headliners for the last day.

Also playing at the festival will be artists such as Laufey with the Chicago Philharmonic, Pierce The Veil, Ethel Cain, Faye Webster, and Kenny Beats.
