VIP Entrance
Bypass the crowds at the main gates and enter Lollapalooza through the VIP entrance. Look for the entryway called VIP entrance at the corner of Van Buren and S. Michigan Ave. Go through this entryway and follow the signs to the VIP gate, where you will have your ticket scanned and bag checked. From there, it’s a quick walk over to Lolla Lounge North.
Lolla Lounge South
As a VIP guest, you’ll have free range of two private spaces within the festival grounds that are stocked with amenities to help you relax and recharge between sets. Lolla Lounge South is located between the T-Mobile and Lake Shore stages in Lower Hutchinson Field.

The deck is fully covered and, to maximize space and safety, is standing room only. Deck is limited capacity, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Shade Tent — Located near the food booths for a convenient spot to dine in shaded comfort. It also has jumbo screen showing live feeds, with audio, of the top four stages.
