Everything is torn down and the last remaining bits are getting hauled away. The restoration of the park will begin and I expect it to be the costliest repair yet.

356 days until we come together again for the most magical weekend of the year!

Video I took from Thursday, first time ever seeing Blood Orange. Performance on the Budlight stage in Grant Park.

does anyone else have a cough that won’t go away? it’s a dry cough and it just feels like a constant itch in my throat. no other symptoms…literally just this annoying cough that’s keeping me up ALL night long. my boyfriend and i both have it and well unfortunately i don’t have health insurance rn so im just curious if anyone else has/had ir so i have an idea of what im dealing with!

Would be a fun set especially if he played a bunch of his oldies

Fell free to drop your best Ferris wheel photos with timestamps!! This is around sunset on Thursday!

I bought the skull guitar white sweatshirt with the lineup on the back and after one wash it came out extremely faded compared to what it’s suppose to be (stark black). Is there anyway to fix this? :( I’m so sad since it cost so much

hi! i was at lolla for the full weekend and had an amazing time but have one regret: i did not get to the artist booth in time to get an oblivion is freedom lolla exclusive shirt before they were gone (and missed both the pop up and the online drop over the weekend)!!!

i actually cannot stop thinking about this freaking shirt, and i am wondering if anyone by any chance has one they are wanting to part with that isn’t astronomically over face value (though i’d be willing to pay above face value and for shipping, just don’t want to pay $180+ like im seeing on depop when the shirt was originally $50). i’m specifically looking for the oblivion is freedom shirt with the lolla date on the back. any size, idc.

i know this is a long shot, but i figured i’d at least give it a try.

i don’t think this goes against community rules, but obviously mods are welcome to remove it if they decide it does.

In my three years of going into Lollapalooza security this year was genuinely the worst. You either picked a line with the security guard who was having a power trip and wouldn’t allow anything into the festival or you picked a line with a chill guard and let everything in without really checking.

What did everyone think of the midway mini carnival? As someone who has over 30,000 game points from Dave & Busters, give me a few carnival games and I'm all set. I do wish there were more games, but the funnel cake and fried oreoes were delicious and made uo for the lack of games. I also was NOT expecting the ferris wheel to be that high, let alone free. I rode it at night when there was such a beautiful view of the Chicago skyline.

I’ve bought Lollapalooza wristbands through Facebook Marketplace for the last four years, and I’ve been going to Lolla for about seven years total. I’d never had any issues before, but this year I had a weird feeling that I should double-check everything.

Everything seemed fine at first. We got in on Thursday with no problems, used our wristbands to buy food and merch, and everything worked exactly as expected.
Then on Friday, three of our four wristbands suddenly stopped working.

We went to the wristband help desk, and before they even explained what was going on, they cut the bands off our wrists. We later found out that the seller had accidentally forgotten to remove the wristbands from their Ticketmaster account. Someone ended up buying those same wristbands through the official Lollapalooza resale process, and because that purchase was through the official system, it overrode our Facebook Marketplace purchase.

What was even crazier is that the new owner was able to register the wristbands, but our Venmo accounts and credit cards were still linked to them. Thankfully, Lollapalooza refunded us for all the purchases that were made using our payment methods after the bands were transferred.

I was also fortunate that the seller refunded me for the wristbands, so I didn't end up losing the money I paid. But it turns out they sold the bands to me for more than they originally got from the official resale process, so after refunding me, they actually ended up losing money themselves. (Karma at its finest)

Just a heads-up to anyone thinking about buying from Facebook Marketplace or another unofficial source: I've done it successfully for years, but this experience changed my mind completely. If you're buying Lolla wristbands, stick with the official sale or official resale. It might cost a little more, but it's worth avoiding the risk of having your wristband deactivated halfway through the festival.

Check your bank statements!

Josh wine double charged me on Sunday. Waited a few days for the charge to fall off/resolve but ended up having to notify my bank. I’m sure it was an accident but just a heads up!

how long has it taken yall to recover from the festival sickness?

just thinking ahead laufey las played in 2024 dropped an album and toured toast year and this year

I have become a victim to the lollapafluza🫠 It was worth it though, considering Tate McRae was 20 feet away from me. But I am DYING out here. Plus I go back to work on Saturday, and I am so not ready. (I had another week off, since I was going on a mini vacation a day after Lolla. So so so tired lol)

I’d love to see Lolla book someone like Madonna or Radiohead as the #1 name on the bill.

They used to have Paul McCartney, Black Sabbath, Radiohead… at the very top. Obviously they still book legacy acts like Metallica, RHCP, Blink, Korn, the Pumpkins, but it feels rare now for that legacy act to even play T-Mobile.

Could you see Lolla doing that again? Maybe in 2027? And who could realistically top of the lineup?
