The Chicago music festival became the latest event to be canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Mayor Lori E. Lightfootthat all special events in the city will be canceled through Labor Day. Instead, Lollapalooza will offer "a weekend-long livestream event" on its scheduled 2020 dates, July 30 - Aug. 2.
"We wish we could bring Lollapalooza to Grant Park again this year, but we understand why things can't move forward as planned. The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff and community is always our highest priority," festival organizers said in a statement on Lollapalooza's website and social media.
The statement also teased what to expect during the livestream event, including "performances from around the city and beyond, epic archival sets from Chicago and the festival's six international editions, never-before-seen footage from the 1990s and much more." A full schedule will be unveiled next month.
Most music festivals have been canceled or postponed due to COVID-19 concerns, with Lolla being one of the last holdouts.
