Many people traveled to Chicago from out of state — and even out of the country — to see Roan, because it was cheaper to pay for transportation and buy a ticket to the festival than her individual shows, due to high scalper prices.

Lollapalooza has a history of highlighting diverse artists and promoting conversation around acceptance and love. A future beyond poverty, pollution, prisons and polarization. A future with freedom, dignity and opportunity for all. Organizers try to adhere to that mission carefully considering which artists to invite and the overall aura of each fest.
