Crowd safety has only become more topical. How do people at Lollapalooza feel?

As one of the most anticipated concert events of the year in Chicago, with headliners like Tyler, the Creator, Luke Combs  and Olivia Rodrigo, Lollapalooza can be seen as a safe haven — a place where music lovers go to catch all their favorite artists in one place. But along with that excitement comes crowds that can swell to outsized numbers for more popular artists, at a time when crowd safety has taken on a new sense of importance.

Some of that awareness this summer is due to the documentary “Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy,” which was released on Netflix in June and quickly became popular. The documentary details the events leading up to the crowd crush that killed 10 people at rapper Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in Houston in November 2021. The fatalities were from accidental compressive asphyxiation. Both Scott and concert promoter Live Nation were investigated in the wake of the tragedy but were cleared by a Texas grand jury in 2023. (Lollapalooza is put on by C3 Presents, a division of Live Nation.)
