Lollapalooza 2021: Day 4 photo highlightsSun-Times staffon August 1, 2021 at 8:34 pm

The last day of Lollapalooza began with a change in the lineup early Sunday morning.

Rapper DaBaby was pulled from Sunday’s schedule amid a brewing controversy over homophobic comments he made during another festival performance last week in Florida.

Young Thug is performing in DaBaby’s place Sunday at 9 p.m. on the Bud Light Seltzer stage, with G Herbo set for the 4 p.m. slot on the T-Mobile stage.

Amid the numerous COVID-19 safety restrictions in place for the festival, Friday night saw the release of a new indoor mask requirement by Lollapalooza organizers. The requirement was in full force Saturday. The areas include the box office, merchandise shop, two hospitality lounges and wristband help tents.
