A few artists will be playing live sets, presumably Zoom-ing from their living rooms, like Alison Wonderland who will be playing live as described above. Lollapalooza will announce the full 2020 schedule on Wednesday.
It just wouldn’t be summer without @Lollapalooza—I’m so excited to hear some of my favorite artists at this week’s virtual festival.

Lollapalooza 2020 will also be a benefit for the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund, the Equal Justice Initiative, and When We All Vote. Yes, there will probably be a bunch of shitty corporate commercials throughout the whole thing, but Lollapalooza 2020 online will let us see some amazing concerts for free while raising a ton of money for extremely worthy causes.
