One of the longest-running and most iconic music festivals in the United States is coming to a screen near you! Lollapalooza first began 30 years ago in Chicago, Illinois and has consistently sold out shows annually since its inception. With performances across genres such as alternative rock, hip hop, heavy metal, electronic, and pop music, Lollapalooza does an excellent job of offering a diverse lineup that all music fans can enjoy.
Following last year's cancelled event due to the pandemic, Lollapalooza organizers instead held a livestream event for free on YouTube in July 2020 which included previously recorded performances as well as a few new sets. Unlike last year, the in-person Lollapalooza 2021 festival is still happening despite rising COVID-19 cases. However, thanks to the 2020 livestream's success, those who aren't attending in person will be able to watch the festival at home once again.
Lollapalooza 2021 is sure to be one for the books as this year's event marks the very first time the show will be streamed simultaneously as it happens live. The 4-day festival is set to feature performances by popular acts such as Aly & AJ, MAX, Jimmy Eat World, Steve Aoki, Illenium, Tyler the Creator, Young the Giant, Journey, Post Malone, Young Thug, Modest Mouse, and Band of Horses, all capped off with a final headliner set on Sunday night by Foo Fighters.
