Last year, the city of Chicago offered free one-day passes to Lollapalooza 2021 as an incentive for citizens to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The subsequent festival turned out to be a success regarding safety amid the contagious virus, according to the city’s Department of Public Health commissioner, who revealed that there was no evidence that the estimated 385,000-person festival was a “‘super-spreader’ event” or that it had any “substantial impact to Chicago’s COVID-19 epidemiology.”
