Getting to the Festival
Cabanas Festival Entrance
- The quickest way for you to enter the festival and access your Cabana is through the 11th Street pedestrian bridge. Look for the directional signs at the northeast corner of S. Michigan Ave. and 11th street, half a block north of Roosevelt Rd. The Platinum/Cabana Entrance is on the 11th Street pedestrian bridge over the train tracks. Once through the security check, climb aboard a Cabana shuttle to be taken straight to your cabana.
-
*NEW IN 2025!* If you don't enter through your dedicated entrance on the 11th street bridge, bypass the crowds at the main gates and enter Lollapalooza through the Premium Entrance.
Located at the corner of Van Buren and S. Michigan Ave, only GA+, VIP, Platinum, and Cabana guests are allowed entry through this multi-lane entryway, where you will have your ticket scanned and bag checked. From there, it’s a quick walk over to the Cabanas.
Cabanas Location and Entry
- The Cabanas are located inside VIP Lolla Lounge South. Look for the Cabana marked with your host/host company’s name. Each Cabana is designed for peak comfort and camaraderie with a combination of lounge and dining seating. The space is open-walled to take advantage of Lake Michigan breezes and to maximize sightlines of the T-Mobile Stage.
