Lollapalooza 2024 Goes Hybrid

ByJon Paice

When Lollapalooza kicks off on Thursday the Main Stage in Chicago’s Grant Park will be powered by a hybrid battery system, including all audio, lighting, video and stage production, in partnership with Live Nation, T-Mobile and CES Power.

Lollapalooza (August 1st through 4th) will be the first major U.S. festival to achieve this, furthering its commitment to its ever-expanding sustainability efforts. The hybrid powered stage will deploy over 1.5 MWh of battery storage capacity, minimizing the use of biodiesel generators for fuel and emissions savings.

As an Illinois Sustainability Award recipient, Lollapalooza is committed to sustainable festival practices.

Blink-182, The Killers and Skrillex are among the performers slated to appear at the festival.
