Big Changes Are Coming to Lollapalooza

Lollapalooza turns 25 this year, and it’s celebrating in a big way.

To commemorate Lollapalooza’s 25th birthday, the festival will expand to include a fourth day next year.

Yes, you read that correctly. Lollapalooza 2016 will be four days long.

Here’s what Lollapalooza founder, Perry Farrell had to say about it:

“It’s our 25th Anniversary and we wanted to do something really special and different for our fans. There’s a lot of really great music coming out in 2016; with the abundance of talent that wanted to help us celebrate 25 years we got to thinking…‘How are we going to fit all those great artists in one weekend?’ Then we thought about what a special day Thursday has become. When the party can’t wait for the weekend, the movers and shakers make it happen on Thursday! So, we’ve put together an entire additional day of music to celebrate our milestone year. It’s going to be a fantastic party!”

The massive Grant Park music festival will feature over 170 musical acts from Thursday, July 28th to Sunday, July 31. Four-day general admission tickets will cost $335 while single-day tickets will be priced at $120. Last year’s event featured headliners Paul McCartney, Metallica, Florence & the Machine, Sam Smith, Bassnectar, and The Weeknd with eight stages of other musical acts to fill in the gaps.

Of course, you can’t yet buy tickets (they won’t be available until Spring 2016). Still, you’ll want to get on it right away, as they typically sell out in a matter of hours, if not minutes. You can trust we’ll be back with more info on this as it becomes available to the public, so hang tight.

Of course, the big question now is who will headline in 2016? It’s all just speculation at this point, though record-breaking artist Adele would surely draw some enormous crowds.

Hint, hint. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.

Your move Lolla… Your move.
