It was lackluster, a little, to say the least. Day three of Lollapalooza wasn’t as lively or exciting, especially when considering the last two days of pure vigor and passion the Thursday and Friday artists brought to the stage. Still magical in its own way, Saturday brought peaks and valleys to the heart of downtown...

As the fourth and final day of the festival came to a close, the sun was high, the skies were blue and Lollapalooza attendees posed for photos in front of the iconic sign one last time.  Headlining on Sunday were Melanie Martinez and Blink-182, who played at the Bud Light and T-Mobile stages, respectively.
