Footage from this year’s Lollapalooza — a massive, four-day annual music festival held at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois — showcased chaotic moments for concertgoers, many of whom endured intense heat and some of whom got stuck in the mud.
Lollapalooza — which took place from Thursday through Sunday at an outdoor park in Chicago, where temperatures reached peak highs of 90°F — was forced to pause at one point, after multiple fans pass out in crowd.
“There’s someone who needs help right here,” singer Lorde announced to security at one point during her performance — which had to be paused on Thursday — as she pointed to someone in the audience, according to a report by Rolling Stone.
The “Royals” singer ended having to stop her set at least three times throughout the evening as concertgoers struggled under the soaring heat, according to multiple reports.
But that wasn’t all that transpired…
“Imagine paying $4,650 for Lollapalooza tickets just to stand in mud for hours,” read the caption of one X post, which included footage of a Lollapalooza attendee standing in watery mud as a music festival worker places a gate in front of her.
