\n\tDay three of Lollapalooza 2026 was hit by severe flooding that delayed the festival schedule and pushed back performances from several artists.<\/p>\n

\n\tOrganizers announced on Saturday (Aug. 1) that the festival \u2014 held at Chicago\u2019s Grant Park \u2014 would open at 3 p.m. CT instead of 12 p.m. CT due to the severe weather. As a result, most performances scheduled during the three-hour delay were canceled, with only a few exceptions.<\/p>\n
