Lollapalooza may have been cancelled this year, but the music festival's organizers are still on the hook for $750,000.

In between sets, Lolla 2020 will also feature conversations organizers say are important to the Lollapalooza community, with speakers such as Perry Farrell, Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot, LL COOL J, Selema Masekala, and more.

Last month, organizers announced the event, that is typically held at Grant Park, was canceled due to the coronavirus concerns.
