TL;DR
Chicago’s Lollapalooza Day 3 was pushed back from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. CT due to heavy overnight rainfall and flooding, with most sets in the window canceled or shortened. Cortis was moved to a later slot and reduced from 50 to 40 minutes, while Wolf Alice’s 60-minute appearance was trimmed to 30 minutes. Organizers warned of muddy grounds and advised waterproof footwear, with Sunday’s lineup largely unaffected, featuring headliners Olivia Dean and Jennie.
