Six Sex Takes Over Outset for the Official Lollapalooza Aftershow
Lollapalooza days are long, and Six Sex is closing this one out with the Official Aftershow at Outset in Chicago, IL, kicking off at 10:00 PM CT on Friday, July 31. Outset is an outdoor venue, so before you plan your outfit, plan around the sky.
The Forecast
The National Weather Service is calling for a chance of showers and thunderstorms on Friday, with a high near 82°F during the day and partly sunny skies. Precipitation chance sits at 43%, and winds stay light out of the SSW around 5 mph.
That 82°F reading is the daytime high, so by the time doors open for the 10 PM show, temperatures should have eased off that peak. Still, with a 43% chance of storms in play for the day, don’t assume the sky is done by nightfall — pack like rain is a real possibility.
What to Wear
Go light and breathable up top for the lingering warmth, but don’t skip rain protection. A packable rain jacket is the smart call here — it folds down small enough to stash in a bag all day and comes out the second thunder rolls through. Skip anything that won’t survive a downpour; you want gear that keeps you dancing, not ducking for cover.
On your feet, comfortable walking sandals will get you through a full day of festival grounds plus a late-night set without wrecking your feet.
Aftershow Gear That Actually Helps
Between Lolla during the day and an aftershow at night, you’re looking at a marathon, not a sprint. A hydration backpack keeps you fueled without a run to the merch line for water, and it frees up your hands for the crowd. A portable phone charger 20000mah is non-negotiable for a day-into-night stretch like this — you’ll want battery left for photos when Six Sex hits the stage, not a dead phone by 9 PM.
Rep your fandom with a Six Sex tee if you can grab one on-site — aftershows like this are exactly the kind of intimate, high-energy set where merch feels earned.
Practical Tips
Give yourself extra time getting to Outset — Aftershow crowds tend to build fast right after the main Lollapalooza grounds close for the day, and downtown Chicago venue access can bottleneck around show time. Clear bag policies are common at aftershow venues, so a clear stadium bag is a safe bet if you’re unsure what Outset will allow at the door.
Bottom Line
With a 43% chance of storms, light winds near 5 mph, and a daytime high near 82°F, this is a pack-for-both-scenarios kind of night. Bring the packable rain jacket, stay hydrated with the hydration backpack, keep your phone alive with the portable phone charger 20000mah, and let your feet ride it out in comfortable walking sandals. Rain or shine, Six Sex closing out Lolla weekend at Outset is worth the prep.
