Chicago Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot will appear throughout the weekend’s festivities, including hosting engaging conversations with Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell and hip-hop legend LL COOL J.  

Lollapalooza founder and Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell will host candid conversations with iconic friends and tastemakers including Lars Ulrich, Chuck D, Matt Pinfield and more.  He’ll also lead a special Kind Heaven Orchestra performance featuring Taylor Hawkins, a David Bowie tribute with pianist Mike Garson, the first Porno for Pyros reunion in 24 years, and a few other special surprises. 

Since its inception almost thirty years ago, Lollapalooza has strived to inspire, connect and uplift our communities.  Lolla2020 is pleased to bring awareness to and partner with Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization launched by Co-Chair Michelle Obama in 2018 to increase participation in every election, with a mission to change the culture around voting and close the race and age voting gap to ensure every eligible voter is registered and ready to vote, the Equal Justice Initiative, which is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S., challenging racial and economic injustice, and protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable, and the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund, which provides financial relief to venues, organizations and workers in the creative industries, including artists, artisans, stage and production members who have been impacted by COVID-19.  Fans can look forward to special appearances by Michelle Obama and Bryan Stevenson, easily register to vote via www.whenweallvote.org/lolla, learn more about each of the organizations, and donate to support their efforts during the broadcast at www.lollapalooza.com/donate.  

Limited-edition Lollapalooza merch is available now through Monday, August 3 and includes a brand-new selection of graphic tees, fan-favorite throwback designs, hats, a puzzle, a robe, a mask and more. A portion of proceeds from the Lolla Cares Collection will benefit When We All Vote, Equal Justice Initiative, and Arts for Illinois Relief Fund organizations. We’ve also teamed up with Bud Light for a special Lolla2020+Bud Light collection that will be available for sale throughout the weekend.
