The last day of Lollapalooza, though cloudy and rainy, delivered a strong lineup that closed out the festival on a positive note.
The day’s most notable performances included Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey, Louis The Child, L’Impératrice, The Backseat Lovers and Alan Walker.
The ground within Grant Park was very wet from over 24 hours of on-and-off rain, resulting in mud patches so bad in some places that mulch had to be brought in. Festival-goers were seen with muddy shoes and pants, but that didn’t stop anyone from enjoying all of the music the festival had to offer.
The Happy Fits delivered a very energetic rock performance at the Coinbase stage at 1:45p.m. The band’s 45-minute set brought smiles to their large crowd, as they got their audience moving with hits such as “Little Ones” and “Best Tears.”
UPSAHL played an impressive set to open the Bud Light stage for Sunday. The singer, most well-known for her TikTok hit song “Drugs,” performed for 45 minutes in on-and-off spitting rain.
UPSAHL also sat down with The Daily Illini to discuss her song creation process, her Lollapalooza set and more. Read the interview here.
