The 2020 experience of the festival was initially scheduled to occur July 30th - August 2nd. However, due to the Coronavirus Pandemic the festival was officially cancelled on June 9th.[1] The festival postponed the sale of it's tickets in March, as a precaution to the possible shut down of live music events.[2] In order to keep the spirit of the festival going, the city of Chicago announced that they would offer a livestreamed event occurring the same weekend as the initially planned event. [2] The livestreamed version of the event featured acts such as A$AP Rocky, Brockhampton, Lupe Fiasco, Outkast, and many more performing on a free YouTube broadcast.[3] As well as live performances, many older sets from past Lollapalooza events were livestreamed, and later uploaded to the Lollapalooza YouTube page.

(Done)Kidzapalooza
[edit]Originally thought of by music producer Tor Hyams, Kidzapalooza was the idea for a more child-centered experience to the adult, Lollapalooza. Hyams came to Perry Farrell with the idea in 2005, and later that year the event first appeared in Chicago.[4] Kidzapalooza has been a success and appeared alongside every Lollapalooza since its original debut in 2005.The event includes many different events for children to enjoy such as game, design, and art stations where children can express their creativity. Musical instruments are set up for children to play and experience in another station of the venue. Raffles and various other amenities are available to the children as well.[5] Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, the 2020 installation of Kidzapalooza was cancelled.[1] Kidzapalooza has sprouted to other venues taking interest, such as the Hollywood Bowl hosting it's own Kidzapalooza in 2008 as a stand alone event.[4]

(Done)PurimPalooza
[edit]Another play on the Lollapalooza name, PurimPalooza is a celebration of the Jewish holiday Purim. The celebration includes traditional Purim practices such as a commemoratory meal, attendees dressing up in costume, and a public reading of the Scroll of Esther.[6] The night is followed up by less traditional Purim practices with the addition of live music, by primarily Jewish artists, and drinking for those of age. In 1999 Farrell himself performed at PurimPalooza, hosted by Rabbi Josef Langer, at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, California.[7] Again in 2006 Farrell performed at PurimPalooza hosted at the Ruby Skye in San Francisco, California which featured artists such as Matisyahu and Chutzpah.[8]

(Done)Notable Performances
[edit]Outkast (2014) - After reuniting the group in early 2014 Outkast had their sights set for touring major festivals all across the country during that spring and summer. The news came as a surprise to many as the group had been releasing no new music collectively since 2006, and were verbal about a break up of the group. The major touring was meant to be a celebration for the 20th anniversary of the duo's inception.[9] With a rocky start to the long tour they were going on, Outkast hit their stride once they docked in Chicago. The duo had been accused of lack of passion on stage at earlier shows. However, Grant Park was raised out of it's slump as Andre 3000 and Big Boi finally seemed to reconnect and put on a show above all the rest.[10] Andre 3000 publicly announced before the final song of the night "We had a great ****ing time, for real".[10]

Kanye West (2008) - West performed on August 3rd, the final night of the 2008 edition of the festival, to a huge display of flashing lights and various stage effects.[11] As a closing act he performed tracks such as "Flashing Lights", "Shine", and "Homecoming".[11] His set lasted from 8:30pm to 10:00pm as he performed in front the Chicago crowd.[12] His performance was seen as a comeback from his 2006 set which had been complicated by technical issues. Kanye had finished his set off by giving thanks to his hometown of Chicago and performing "Stronger".[13]

Chance The Rapper (2013)- Chance the Rapper's first appearance at Lollapalooza in his hometown of Chicago, IL at the age of 20.[14] Chance introduced himself with the words "My name is Chance the Rapper and I'm from right here, Chicago, Illinois."[15]Following the debut of his mixtape Acid Rap, chance rose to high popularity and was someone everyone wanted to see. Complex news labeled him as one of their "10 Chicago Rappers To Watch For" and ranked his 2013 Album as second best that year, only being beaten by Kanye West's Yeezus Album.[16] Chance performed a 30 minute set at Lollapalooza which included his hit song "Juice". People began climbing up flimsy trees and light posts to get a better view of Chance as his set progressed.[15] Chance's electric set only further catapulted his fast-paced rise to stardom and made him a staple in the Chicago music scene. Chance has continued to perform at Lollapalooza every year since his initial appearance in 2013.[17][3]
