Day 2 of Lollapalooza Elevates Chicago Talent with Surprises and Rain

Day two at Lollapalooza in Grant Park spotlighted Chicago artists like Lil M.U. and Free Joel on the Chicago Made stage, weather forced ponchos and delayed sets, Zara Larsson’s slot was pushed back, Lil Uzi Vert’s show was canceled then teased a late appearance, and the Smashing Pumpkins headlined with a surprise guest Olivia Rodrigo performing “Thirty-Three.” Slayyyter drew a big crowd after being moved to a main stage, while fashion-forward festivalgoers showcased bold, Coachella-inspired looks as attendees braved the rain. The festival continues through the weekend with ongoing rain, schedule tweaks, and high-energy performances.
