This week Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot announced the Lollapalooza festival’s return on Tuesday. In a tweet, she said, “In alignment with our public health guidance, the world class festival returns to the city later this summer. However, full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test will be required to enjoy the festivities.” The tweet included a video in which Lightfoot claims to like the rapper Polo G, and calls up Lolla founder Perry Farrell in a skit of sorts.

Headlining the summer music festival will be the Foo Fighters, Post Malone, Tyler, the Creator and Miley Cyrus. And the fest will be at full capacity, too.

Other recent music festival announcements have been for punk festival Riot Fest and Pitchfork Music Festival Chicago.
