CHICAGO (CelebrityAccess) — While most major music festivals have postponed until the autumn, or canceled outright for 2020, the fate of C3’s iconic Chicago festival Lollapalooza has yet to be announced.
The festival, which is scheduled to take place in Chicago’s Grant Park from July 30 through August 2, is still officially a go based on the festival’s website.

On Thursday, the city entered phase 3 of re-opening of its coronavirus re-opening plan, which includes a return to much of public life, including non-essential retail, outdoor dining in restaurants and cafes, and a re-opening of office buildings for non-essential workers.
On June 4th, Illinois reported 929 new cases of COVID-19, down from a daily peak in mid-May of more than 4,000.
