Since its inception almost thirty years ago, Lollapalooza has strived to inspire, connect and uplift our communities. Lolla2020 is pleased to bring awareness to and partner with Michelle Obama's When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organization launched by co-chair Michelle Obama in 2018 to increase participation in every election, with a mission to change the culture around voting and close the race and age voting gap to ensure every eligible voter is registered and ready to vote, the Equal Justice Initiative, which is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the U.S., challenging racial and economic injustice, and protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable, and the Arts for Illinois Relief Fund, which provides financial relief to venues, organizations and workers in the creative industries, including artists, artisans, stage and production members who have been impacted by COVID-19. Fans can look forward to special appearances by Michelle Obama and Bryan Stevenson.

The Lolla2020 lineup will include four performances by local artists presented in collaboration with the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events (DCASE). These four sets feature many of Chicago's incredible emerging and established artists, including Jamila Woods, KAINA, Heavy Steppers with Jamal Smallz, Peter CottonTale, Rebirth Poetry Ensemble, Emon Fowler, Linda Sol, and The Era Footwork Crew — programmed by DCASE and recorded at neighborhood music venues to showcase Chicago's diverse and legendary music scene during the Year of Chicago Music, now extended into 2021.
