Milwaukee might be just 90 miles north of Chicago, but it is a whole different world when it comes to music festivals. We have Summerfest, the “Big Gig”, right on our lakefront. Chicago has Lollapalooza, a four day party in the middle of Grant Park that pulls in some of the biggest names in music. Every summer we make the short drive down I-94 to see if our southern neighbors can hold their own against the energy we bring to our own festival grounds. 

The first two days of Lolla brought some memorable sets and surprises, but the second half of the weekend turned the excitement up even higher. Saturday and Sunday delivered everything from massive headliners to unexpected cameos to rising stars playing their biggest stages yet. For every moment that had the crowd dancing, there was another that left jaws on the ground. 

From dramatic entrances to rowdy mosh pits to the kind of surprises that only happen when tens of thousands of fans are locked in for hours, the last two days of Lollapalooza 2025 were packed with unforgettable highlights. 

Here are some of our favorite shots and moments from the second half of Chicago’s biggest music weekend.
