The second day of Lollapalooza opened in Grant Park on the Chicago lakefront for a Friday headlined by Kendrick Lamar and The 1975, and with the expectations of another busy and bustling day.
For the first time at Lollapalooza, the nonprofit This Must Be The Place is handing out kits of a naloxone nasal spray, an opioid reversal medicine.
Ingela Travers-Hayward, of This Must Be The Place, shows Lollapalooza fans how to safely administer Naloxone on Aug. 4, 2023. Chicagoan Brianna Buenrostro, 26, stopped by the tent midday Friday to pick up kits with two friends. The group wanted to have them on hand in case someone in the crowd starts exhibiting signs of an overdose, Buenrostro said. This Must Be the Place staff briefly trained them on what to look out for. ”Hopefully, we don’t have to use these ever,” Buenrostro said. “This is just kind of a safety net.
To be sure, crowd surge — when the pressure of crowding can cause asphyxia — is a serious concern at large music festivals. Ten fans died in a surge at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival concert in Houston in 2021. An overcrowding tragedy last October in Seoul, South Korea, killed 159 people, most of them young Halloween revelers.until fans stepped back and made room.
