Day three of Lollapalooza was postponed from noon to 3 p.m. CT following severe weather conditions that struck the Chicago festival grounds overnight. Heavy rainfall resulted in localized flooding and waterlogged conditions at venue areas, prompting organizers to issue multiple updates regarding access and scheduling adjustments.
The festival first announced a delay to 2 p.m. CT early in the morning after photos circulated showing swamp-like conditions at Hutchinson Field, which hosts the T-Mobile and Allianz stages. A subsequent statement pushed the opening to 3 p.m., with the box office opening at 1 p.m. Most sets originally scheduled during the three-hour delay window were canceled, though some adjustments were made to specific performances.
K-pop group Cortis had their set duration reduced from 50 minutes to 40 minutes and was rescheduled for later in the afternoon. English rock band Wolf Alice, initially slated to perform at 3 p.m., was moved to 4 p.m. with their hour-long performance cut to 30 minutes. The festival advised attendees to wear waterproof footwear and prepare for muddy conditions throughout the grounds.
Headliners Olivia Dean and Jennie remained unaffected by the schedule changes, as did other anticipated performances from acts including The Neighbourhood, Geese, Sienna Spiro, Clipse, and Ethel Cain. The festival indicated that Sunday’s final day programming, featuring headliners Tate McRae and The XX alongside acts such as Aespa, Jade, and Stella Lefty, would proceed as originally planned.
