About Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza's setting in downtown Chicago's Grant Park creates unique challenges and opportunities. The urban park location, surrounded by skyscrapers and Lake Michigan, means all festival infrastructure must be temporary and mobile. With 170+ artists across 8 stages and 100,000+ attendees daily, the production scale is massive. RV fleets provide essential artist services, production support, and hospitality infrastructure in a venue with zero permanent backstage facilities.
