CHICAGO — The second day of Lollapalooza opened with questions swirling outside the Grant Park gates about the music festival’s future in Chicago, and about contract talks between Texas-based producer C3 Presents and the city. Inside, the focus was on the experience and the music.
Headliners Friday were Machine Gun Kelly, Bob Moses, Rezz and Dua Lipa. Unlike in pre-pandemic summers, single-day general admission tickets are not yet sold out, and available through Sunday on the festival’s website. (Tickets can also be found for sale online, some at discounted prices.)
Lollapalooza has played in Grant Park since 2005. Its current contract, signed in 2012, was set to expire after last year’s festival, but both sides agreed to execute a one-year extension. Before 2005, Lollapalooza was a touring festival founded by Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell.
