Lollapalooza in Chicago

One of the world's most prominent music festivals, Lollapalooza, is set to draw in the crowds again this year between August 3rd and 5th.

Taking place in Grant Park, Chicago, the festival line-up includes an eclectic mix of bands and artists from across the world, including Pearl Jam, Daft Punk, Muse, Patti Smith and Modest Mouse.

According to the organisers, Lollapalooza is "more than just a concert", boasting a range of attractions, food and art attractions.

"It is a musical, cultural, community experience and is the first of its kind in this beautiful space," the organisers say.

While in Chicago, visitors can take a trip to Lincoln Park Zoo – "a world of wildlife in the shadow of skyscrapers" – in the northern part of the city.

The zoo has a variety of attractions, including its Endangered Species Carousel, paddle boat rides and an African Safari simulator.
