With the onset of coronavirus, the city of Chicago took preemptive measures and canceled many of its slated summer festivals. So we look forward to welcoming them back next year.” Lightfoot also said no money was exchanged between the Park District and C3 Presents for this year’s event. Update: Taste of Chicago 2020 has been canceled to prevent further spread of COVID-19.

Lightfoot said a later date for Lollapalooza was considered “and that was part of the discussion and why we delayed for so long, but it became clear that that later date probably wasn’t going to get us out of the woods, far enough away from where we are in the cycle of COVID-19 here in Chicago. “We always look forward to festivals, and we count on the extra money, and Taste is the largest one we’ve participated in over the years,” said John Meyer, chef/owner of BJ’s Market & Bakery, a fixture at Taste as well as the Chow Town lineup at Lollapalooza.

“The health and safety of our fans, artists, partners, staff and community is always our highest priority.” Lollapalooza’s cancellation will be felt by hotels, restaurants and even more local businesses already having a tough year.

It’s all Chicago celebrating our own, in a sense. Organizers announced in January that My Chemical Romance would headline, but the rest of the lineup has not been revealed.
