LOLLAPALOOZA 2025

GRANT PARK

CHICAGO, IL

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES GUSTIN

Chicago’s summer was electrified once again when Lollapalooza 2025 took over Grant Park with powerhouse performances and record-breaking attendance. Over four days, around 115,000 music fans poured in each day — totaling nearly 460,000 attendees, a remarkable return to its pre-pandemic scale. The musical lineup was nothing short of extraordinary: Olivia Rodrigo shattered records with her headline set, TWICE made history as the first all-female K-pop group to top the roster, and A$AP Rocky delivered a show-stopping entrance via helicopter.

FLM may not have been inside the festival grounds, but our lens captured the true spirit of Lolla—from festival-goers striding down the streets in their most expressive fits to the collective anticipation that buzzed in the air. Check out these scenes of electric street style, confident smiles, and that unmistakable pre-show energy radiating from every look and step.
