AFTER 2020’s cancellation, Lollapalooza took over Chicago from July 29 to August 1, 2021.
The event featured headliners like Machine Gun Kelly, Journey, Miley Cyrus, and more.
According to the organizers of the event, about 100,000 people attended Lollapalooza.
The event ran at full capacity at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois.
Officials dubbed Lollapalooza as the biggest music festival happening in 2021.
With Lollapalooza set to take place from July 29 till August 1, organizers of the festival have a strict policy for attendees – get vaccinated or get tested for Covid-19.
To gain entrance to the festival, ticket holders must either show a printed copy of their vaccine card, a vaccine record or a negative Covid-19 test taken in the past 72 hours.
But because the festival runs for four days, one negative test won’t be enough for the unvaccinated or partially vaccinated.
Attendees would need to get tested again and bring new proof of a negative Covid test if their initial one was taken more than 72 hours ago.
In addition to the testing or vaccination requirements, Lollapalooza recommends that attendees “avoid physical contact with people outside of your party” and limit consumption of alcohol and other substances.
“Consuming alcohol or substances may make you less likely to follow Covid-19 safety measures,” the festival website notes.
Free masks will be available at the entry, guest services, and the festival’s medical tents.
Anyone who is not vaccinated should wear a mask and maintain six feet of social distance from anyone not in their group during the event.
“Over the course of the weekend, Lollapalooza entry gates saw an average of 91% proof of vaccination, 8% proof of negative COVID-19 tests and 1% denied entry for lack of proper documentation,” organizers said in a statement on August 2.
Lollapalooza’s lineup for the 2021 festival includes headliners like the Foo Fighters, Post Malone, Tyler the Creator, and more.
Other artists scheduled to perform include , Marshmello, Illenium, Megan Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch.
DaBaby was supposed to perform at the festival but was dropped due to homophobic comments he made during Rolling Loud in Miami.
