“With 9 stages, and 170+ bands from all over the world, every Lolla lineup makes hands wave, heads nod, and crowds holler,” reads a bio section on the Lollapalooza website. Organizers add, “Lolla takes over historic Grant Park in Downtown Chicago, alongside the beautiful Chicago skyline and the shores of Lake Michigan. Take advantage of interactive areas with giveaways, merch and more!” Finally, noting the many food options attendees will have, Lollapalooza organizers explain, “Chow Town offers the most delicious festival food, drinks and sweets from the Windy City’s favorite restaurants. We offer our patrons much more than the typical ‘carnival’ type fare, with an emphasis on fresh, reasonably priced items from the Chicago area.”
