Lollapalooza should prove to be one of the hottest festival tickets of the Chicago summer with today’s sick lineup announcement. Paul McCartney and Metallica have been tapped to headline — each of those two acts could fill a stadium on their own — and the rest of the bill is stacked with festival favorites.
The flagship Chicago edition of Lollapalooza takes place in Grant Park from July 31-August 2, 2015. Single day tickets also went on sale today for $110. Expect those to be already sold out. 100,000 are expected to attend and none of those fans will be allowed to use selfie sticks.
