Lollapalooza 2024 takes place from August 1 to 4, featuring eight stages and over 170 musicians performing across the four-day festival. As usual, it will also showcase diverse local food and music from Chicago at Grant Park. The excitement kicks off on a Thursday with headliners Tyler, The Creator and Hozier before coming to a close on Sunday with headliners Blink-182 and Melanie Martinez.
