Overview

Why a festival app for Lollapalooza?

Lollapalooza occupies Grant Park in the heart of downtown Chicago for four days every summer. The 100,000-per-day crowd spreads across multiple stages with the Chicago skyline as backdrop. The multi-stage layout makes 'meet me at the Bud Light stage' a 25-minute walk if you miscount the distance.

Grant Park's footprint is dense and linear. Stages strung along Columbus Drive and the lakefront. Crowds compress hard for headliners (T-Mobile and Bud Light stages) and the food court bottlenecks at peak times.
