With the unofficial start of summer now behind us, many are already looking forward to Lollapalooza, Chicago's flagship music festival that is slated to take over Grant Park during the first weekend of August.
While tens of thousands will head downtown to see their favorite acts during the four-day festival, many fans seek out "aftershows," where some artists who are on the Lollapalooza lineup play additional shows at smaller venues throughout Chicago.
In 2023, 17 different venues across Chicago will be hosting official Lollapalooza aftershows during the week of the festival, with shows running from Tuesday through Sunday.
Tickets for all of the shows will be available beginning at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, June 2 on Lollapalooza's website.
