Is Lollapalooza still happening this year?

Answer: Yes! Just ... differently.

If you were worried that Lollapalooza was going to fall victim to a COVID-19 cancellation, fear not. YouTube has come to the rescue.

The live music festival, scheduled for July 30 – Aug. 2, has worked with YouTube in the past to stream performances for those who couldn’t be there in person. This year, though, that means everybody, so the entire thing will stream on YouTube for free. Streams begin at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. 

The Verge reports that there will be more than 150 performances throughout the four-day period. They will be a combination of new original shows and replays from previous years. There will also be guest appearances from Michelle Obama, LL Cool J, Common and Chuck D.
