Chicago’s biggest summer music festival got underway Thursday beneath sunny skies and steamy temps.
Fans lined up at 4 a.m. at the entrance to Lollapalooza at Grant Park, many no doubt ready to stake out a spot close to the stage for Thursday night’s headliners Billie Eilish, Karol G, The Rose and Diplo.
There are nearly 50 acts on tap for today across the festival’s eight stages.
Carly Rae Jepson, Portugal the Man, Kidd Kenn, Joy Oladokun, Dom Dolla and Key Glock are also among the Thursday lineup.
And if you were unable to get tickets to the fest (at last report only single tickets for Saturday remain), you can check out all the music on Hulu, which will stream Lollapalooza to all subscribers beginning at 1 p.m. CT each afternoon across two channels.
It’s a narrow window: Only a few days per year can the rare orchid be fertilized. On a recent trip to the Nachusa Grasslands, one volunteer called the mission “plant sex work.”
Try them now before everyone else finishes the show. This season trains its cameras on casual spots with deep roots, from Jim’s Original to Chinatown’s oldest bakery.
