Last year’s Lollapalooza was virtual, but the iconic music festival in Grant Park is back in person this summer and will take place at its usual place. Kicking off this Thursday, the four-day event will feature headlining sets from the Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, and Tyler, the Creator. If you join the crowds of 100,000+ people that flock to the fest each day, you’ll also be able to see Megan Thee Stallion, Journey, Brockhampton, and more than 150 other artists.<\/span><\/p>\n
