Chicago Makes It Official: Lollapalooza Will Return To Grant Park

CHICAGO — Mayor Lori Lightfoot made it official: Lollapalooza will return to Grant Park.

The four-day music fest's line-up is scheduled to be revealed at 10 a.m. Wednesday, tickets are set to go on sale at 12 p.m. the same day.

Folks who plan on attending this year should be prepared to show proof they are fully vaccinated or proof of a negative COVID-19 test 24 hours before each day of the festival, city officials said.

More details on the festival entry process will be available in early July, city officials said.

"Here in Chicago, the word ‘Lollapalooza’ has always been synonymous with summer, great music and four days of unforgettable fun – which made last year’s decision to postpone it all the more difficult," Lightfoot said. "Now, less than a year later and armed with a vaccine that is safe, effective and widely available, we are able to bring back one of our city’s most iconic summer music festivals. I want to thank the Lollapalooza team for working closely with the City to create a reopening strategy that prioritizes safety and can’t wait to see festivalgoers return to Grant Park this summer."

Lollapalooza organizers celebrated the news on social media with a video announcing, "We're back!!!!"
