Music fans eager to hear Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus, Tyler, the Creator and a long list of top artists and bands play live are in Grant Park this weekend, for the 2021 Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago.
This year marks the festival’s return after it was canceled last year due to Covid, and festival goers will still need to show proof of vaccination (or wear a face mask) plus show a negative Covid-19 test result to enter the park (Heading to Lolla?
