When is Lollapalooza 2024?

Held at Chicago’s Grant Park, the venue for the event since 2005, Lollapalooza 2024 is due to take place from Thursday August 1 to Sunday August 4. Tickets can be bought on the festival website’s ticketing portal.

Among the approximately 200 acts set to appear over the course of the four-day festival, this year’s headliners include rapper Megan Thee Stallion, R&B singer-songwriter SZA, and the rock bands the Killers and Blink-182.

What Lollapalooza tickets are available? How much do they cost?

One-day general admission

One-day general admission tickets start at $155. As of Thursday July 18, they are only available for the Sunday. However, the festival’s ticket portal does also offer would-be attendees the option of joining a waiting list for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

It should be noted that children under the age of eight are allowed in for free as long as they are accompanied by a ticketed adult. With younger festival-goers in mind, the Lollapalooza experience also includes Kidzapalooza, described by the event’s organisers as “the place for family-focused fun”.
