Lollapalooza 2023: Chicago weather brings rain to Sunday Lolla crowd ahead of Red Hot Chili Peppers performance

CHICAGO (WLS) -- On the last day of Lollapalooza, rain descended on Sunday afternoon's crowds, but didn't bring down the energy.

It may be the festival's last day, but it's the first time Mikayla Serr and boyfriend Joonha Kim are attending Lollapalooza.

"I think it will be fun, because I've never been, and it's a really famous thing in Chicago, so I'm excited," Serr said.

"It's great. I mean, Chicago's the best city in the world, right?" Kim said.

The couple said they planned ahead for the possibility of storms.

"On Friday, I bought, on Amazon Prime, 10 ponchos!" Serr said.

"But, she forgot, so I'm the only one in the group without a poncho," Kim said.

"His friends, you know, gave me, one and he let me have it. You know, got a good boyfriend," Serr said.

The good news is that forecasts show the crowds may get a break from the wet weather. Others are prepared to dance in the rain if needed.

"I think it will be fun. Everyone is going to be all wet and sweaty, but it will be okay. It will just make it a better experience," Serr said.

Sunday night's headliner, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, is expected to draw in a large crowd.

Many hope is the rain stays away, at least until the festival's finale.
