Last month, organizers announced the event, that is typically held at Grant Park in Chicago, was canceled due to the coronavirus concerns.



Lolla 2020 will be exclusively broadcast on YouTube beginning July 30 through Aug. 2.



The full schedule is expected to be released on Wednesday. For more information, visit the Lollapalooza YouTube channel.
