Top Tips to Know Before You Go to Lollapalooza

Top Tips to Know Before You Go to Lollapalooza

Get the most out of your festival experience by knowing how to avoid hold-ups and employing practical hacks that will make your festival all the more enjoyable. Here's a brief survival guide:

  • 1. What to Bring

    Two factory sealed, one liter water bottles are permitted at the festival entrance. To avoid waiting in long lines outside ATMs, make sure everyone in your party has credit cards or cash with them, and keeps it in a safe place on their person. Rain ponchos are a good idea in Illinois, and so is sunscreen (just don't pack an aerosol, which will be confiscated).

  • 2. Time things right

    Arrive early on the first day to collect your wristband without the crowds, which can produce hour-long queues once the festival is underway. The El, Chicago's rapid transit system is a century old, which means it wasn't designed with the festival in mind. It's a good idea to avoid the system at peak times.

  • 3. Drinking and Restrooms

    Don't let Chicago's legendary bar and craft brewery scene go untapped during your festival. You will find these establishments better value than those at the festival's Cocktail Bar. It won't be long before your group is looking for the portable bathrooms, so know that there are less busy phalanxes beside the Bud Light Stage.

Most Epic Performances in Lollapalooza History

Most Epic Performances in Lollapalooza History

From the first festival, Lollapalooza has been defined by career-defining musical manoeuvres. The Strokes inaugurated their U.S, return tour with their 2010 performance. Rage Against The Machine were so popular that the band got involved in crowd control. Here are the most pivotal performances in Lolla history:

  • 1. Kanye West in 2008

    The celebrated rapper's homecoming performance in 2008 saw him at the pinnacle of his pop prominence. With characteristic confidence, the superstar returned to his hometown with a worldwide fanbase in tow. Local success story, Kanye West's second performance at the festival was even more moving.

  • 2. Lady Gaga in 2010

    The first time Lady Gaga performed at Lollapalooza, she was an unknown New York songstress and still brunette. She returned in 2010 as the opening night headliner, showcasing her meteoric ascension through the ranks of pop stardom. Her performance of her 'The Fame Monster' album never seemed so apt.

  • 3. The First Ever Lollapalooza

    Featuring a youthful Trent Reznor, punk-chic Henry Rollins, and '90s-tastic Butthole Surfers, the first Lollapalooza in 1991 will go down in history as one of the highlights of early '90s music. Before the rise of the internet and the usual festival Apps, Lollapalooza number one was a loving tribute to Jane's Addiction, and so successful that it birthed a phenomenon.
