Summary
- Lil Uzi Vert's performance canceled on Friday due to severe weather.
- The artist later made a surprise appearance with Major Lazer.
- Heavy rainfall also delayed Saturday's festival opening and caused mud.
On Friday, Lollapalooza experienced disruptions as Lil Uzi Vert's scheduled performance was canceled due to severe weather. A message projected at the T-Mobile Stage and an announcement on Instagram confirmed the cancellation, citing "weather issues." This cancellation also led to the rescheduling of Zara Larsson's performance.
However, the Grammy nominee made an unexpected appearance later that evening. Lollapalooza announced that Lil Uzi Vert would join Major Lazer on Perry's Stage. Major Lazer shared a video capturing the surprise performance of Vert's 2022 single "Just Wanna Rock."
The adverse weather conditions persisted into Saturday, further impacting the festival. Entry doors were delayed, opening only at 2 p.m. Festival-goers were advised to wear waterproof footwear due to the expected muddy conditions throughout Grant Park.
