Created in 1991 as a farewell tour for the band Jane’s Addiction, Lollapalooza was originally a touring festival. In 2005 it was retooled to its current format, a four-day event in Grant Park.

Between the lineup (including Chicago’s own Chance the Rapper in 2017) and the picturesque skyline, it’s no wonder Lolla made the cut.
