Rüfüs Du Sol (T-Mobile Stage at 8:45 p.m.) and TWICE (Bud Light stage at 8:30 p.m.) are Saturday's headliners. As for artists not to miss, Tribune music writer Britt Julious also recommends Mk.gee (The Grove stage at 9 p.m.) and Doechii (T-Mobile stage at 6:55 p.m). Her music guide has critic's picks by day through Sunday.
TWICE will be the first female K-pop group to headline Lollapalooza.
Chicago's Chance the Rapper (Perry's Stage at 5:50 p.m.) was a surprise performance added to the schedule as of Friday morning. He is scheduled to play for a mere 15 minutes.
Other artists playing Saturday include Clairo, Young Miko, Two Friends, Marina, Chase & Status, Levity, JPEGMAFIA and Fujii Kaze.
Official Lollapalooza aftershows Saturday night include Foster the People at Metro, Flipturn at Park West, Remi Wolf at Salt Shed and Mariah the Scientist at Vic Theatre. Lollapalooza has a full list of official aftershows.
Fans on social media are expecting a big delivery around visuals and choreography from both TWICE and Rüfüs Du Sol. As TWICE will be the festival's first ever female K-pop headliner, anticipation around the performance is high. Indie-pop singer Clairo (Bud Light Stage at 6:30) is also trending on social media with fans expecting an emotional set.
Another pleasant day at Lollapalooza is expected Saturday. Rain is not predicted during festival hours and the temperature will be a high of 78 and a low of 61 degrees. There's a good chance of humidity in the air, so the temperature may feel closer to 80 degrees.
Saturday's fashion will be inspired by girl group TWICE and alternative dance group Rüfüs Du Sol, so expect a lot of fun styles: bright, femme outfits coupled with sleek, edgy looks.
Headliners are scheduled close together as usual tonight, with Rüfüs Du Sol slated to begin 15 minutes after TWICE. If you want to catch two highly anticipated acts, you may want to stick around after Clairo on the Bud Light Stage to claim your spot at TWICE, starting roughly an hour later.
