Whether you are a longtime fan or discovering a performer for the first time, this is your chance to see them up close in some of Chicago's most iconic rooms.
Preparing for the Festival & Aftershows
To make the most of your night, plan ahead:
Check the schedule — Confirm which show(s) you want to attend and note the venue(s)
Confirm entry times — Doors and set times vary by venue; arrive early for the best experience
Review venue rules — Each venue has its own policies on bags, cameras, age restrictions, and re-entry
Rest and recharge — If you are coming from the main festival, allow extra time to eat, hydrate, and rest before the aftershow begins
Dress smart — Comfortable shoes, weather-appropriate clothing, and a fully charged phone will keep your evening stress-free
Parking & Travel Tips
Transportation is key to a smooth Aftershow experience:
Public Transit: Chicago's CTA trains and buses connect to virtually every aftershow venue. The L train is your best friend during Lolla weekend.
Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are widely available, but expect surge pricing during peak festival hours. Set pickup and dropoff points a block or two away from venues to avoid traffic.
Parking: Venue parking is often limited. Consider nearby parking garages or parking apps to reserve a spot in advance.
Arrive Early: Getting to the venue ahead of time helps you avoid lines and gives you time to grab a drink, pick up merchandise, or claim a great spot.
