"I love it. It is super fun," attendee Logan Kien said. "Yesterday we was SZA and Sexy Red. It's just like super cool. Everyone is like super hype and it's just a great environment."

It was Fort Wayne, Indiana, native Colin Burda's first time at the festival, which served as a kind of college send-off for him and his friends who will head off to different schools in a few weeks. They all showed up to watch Future perform.

"We came really early the first two days and we were feeling it," Burda said. "It was really hot, so we came a little bit later today just to get the cooler weather, and it's been good."

The weather has been great, and friends Jennyfer Delgado and Christina Diaz also took advantage of it.

"My outfit was inspired by the heat of Chicago, just because it is so hot," Delgado said. "I wanted to wear a bathing suit with some accessories."

"The vibe was baddie," Diaz said. "I've been going hard lately, so I kind of just wanted to show the fit."

Trina Sampson remembers last year when storms nearly washed out the festival. This year, it's hot and humid instead.

"I kind of just bought this because the mesh, I feel like it is very breathable, and it's just really comfortable to wear on a really hot day like this," Sampson said.

Lolla veteran Sydney Armstead managed to integrate some practicality into her fashion.

"It's comfy. You definitely want to go with the shorts go with some comfy shoes," Armstead said. "You never want to wear your toes out, cause they'll get stomped on."

While the balmy weather inspired the outfits of a lot of festival goers, others let the music be their muse.

"We got glittery. It's Skrillex tonight, so we want to be fashionable," attendee Madison Peach said. "A little shiny for the DJ."

The four-day party kicked off with a massive crowd for Chappell Roan on Thursday. The self-declared "Midwest Princess" has exploded on the Billboard charts recently.

Megan Thee Stallion closed out the show on the main stage Thursday night. She was joined by Chicago's Sky's own Angel Reese.

SZA and the Stray Kids headlined Friday night.

Chicago's biggest annual music festival continues on the lakefront through Sunday.

If you're heading downtown for Lollapalooza, city officials are urging people to use public transportation.

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 will connect Metra trains at Union Station and Ogilvie with Grant Park.
