CHICAGO (WLS) -- Another year of Lollapalooza is in the books after crowds packed into Grant Park for the final day of the festival on Sunday.

"I love it. It's my first time at Lolla, and it's been a blast. Weather's been a little hot, but overall, it's been good, good vibes. Everything's been fun," said Chicago resident Olivia Stern.

Some first timers got a taste of what the busy weekend has to offer.

"I love Chicago. I love the atmosphere out here. I'm having a great time," said Michigan resident Ryan Leibforth.

People enjoying the festival this weekend had to find ways to stay cool with temperatures surpassing 85 degrees and the humidity making it even warmer.

"Today's probably the hottest. Thursday was a lot cooler because of the rain," said Chicago resident Alex Flores.

"It's been a little brutal. First day at Kesha, got a little scared, a little lightheaded. But we came prepared with water. The fill-up stations are amazing," Stern said.

Blink-182 and Zeds Dead headlined Sunday's slate of music.

The four-day party kicked off with a massive crowd for Chappell Roan on Thursday.

Megan Thee Stallion closed out the show on the main stage Thursday night. SZA and the Stray Kids headlined Friday night.

On Saturday night, The Killers, Future and Metro Boomin hit the stage.

Lolla always brings in new emerging artist, and one man from Chicago got to watch Queen perform with his 17-year-old daughter.

"Man, it was beautiful. She's always been in music, ever since she was little, dancing, imitating Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and now, she's stepping into her own little realm," said Chicago resident Chaz Hamilton.

Some people have been attending this festival for years now and said they have seen some changes along the way.

"I guess the music has been changing over time, but other than that, it's kind of the same. Food has been getting better," Flores said.

City officials are urging people to use public transportation to get to and from Grant Park this weekend.

Metra is adding trains to accommodate concert goers.

The CTA said customers can rely on the Red and Blue Lines. Yellow Line service will also be extended until 1 a.m. each night.

Various bus routes are connecting Grant Park to Union Station and Ogilvie.
