Lollapalooza was originally canceled back in June due to the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the festival is coming to you this year, to enjoy from the comfort of your own home. The annual Chicago festival will be live streaming more than 150 performances beginning Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, August 2.
The live stream will be available to watch for free on YouTube. Performances for this year’s virtual show include archived acts from The Cure, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arcade Fire, Metallica, Run The Jewels, Alabama Shakes, Portugal the Man, Lorde, and more. Some new special moments will also be incorporated into the 2020 event, including a tribute to David Bowie. Aside from performances, viewers can also tune in to catch panel discussions with Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and Public Enemy’s Chuck D. The panels will be moderated by Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell.
Lollapalooza has scheduled YouTube premieres for each day: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
