Chicago’s largest music festival announced Monday they will host Lolla 2020, a 4-night free virtual concert starting Thursday night.
The event will feature 135 artists who will perform both old and new material, according to event organizers.
Some of the musicians include Paul McCartney, Chance the Rapper, Metallica, Tove Lo and Ellie Goulding.
In between sets, Lolla 2020 will also feature conversations organizers say are important to the Lollapalooza community, with speakers such as Perry Farrell, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, LL COOL J, Selema Masekala, and more.
Last month, organizers announced the event, that is typically held at Grant Park, was canceled due to the coronavirus concerns.
