Topic: Lollapalooza

The Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago proceeded without mandatory masking, requiring only proof of vaccination or a negative test. In contrast, musician Eric Clapton announced he will refuse to perform at any venue that requires vaccine passports, citing discrimination against the unvaccinated. Reports from a similar festival in the Netherlands linked over 1,000 COVID cases to the event.

The FBI released information indicating that Stephen Paddock conducted internet research on other major venues, including Fenway Park in Boston and the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago. The hosts dismiss these reports as sensationalism designed to increase public fear.
