Lollapalooza Chicago, Grant Park, 2024

Lollapalooza Chicago (cap. 115,000), promoted by Live Nation-owned C3 Presents, made significant strides in sustainable live entertainment by powering its main stage entirely on batteries during the weekend (1-5 August 2024).

The advancement was achieved through Showpower’s collaboration with CES Power, who together developed a ‘Smart Power Plan’ for the T-Mobile stage using Atlas Copco batteries.
