Fans filled the park, stretching from the fencing on the east side all the way to Columbus Drive, creating an unforgettable scene that truly showcased Roan's growing influence and popularity​.

Her performance was not only notable for its size but also for its unique flair. Roan, embracing Chicago's rich wrestling history, performed in a vibrant wrestling-inspired outfit and was accompanied by local weightlifters and acrobatic performers, adding to the spectacle. This creative and engaging performance further cemented her place as a standout artist in the music industry​​.

Chappell Roan's historic set at Lollapalooza 2024 will be remembered as a defining moment for both the artist and the festival, reflecting her rapid rise in the music world and her ability to captivate and draw massive crowds.
