Chicago Bolsters Security for Lollapalooza Music Festival
Festival-goers should expect enhanced security at Lollapalooza this weekend in Chicago, as more police, fencing, bag restrictions and airport-style screening are added to the annual Grant Park event.
According to the Chicago Tribune, city officials hope that the increased security will ease the minds of concertgoers following news that the attacker in the Las Vegas mass shooting had also booked rooms at a hotel along Michigan Avenue, across the street from the 2017 Lollapalooza.
