Zara Larsson is closing out Lollapalooza week with an official 18+ aftershow at the Vic Theatre, and the intimate indoor setting means this one’s all about the show — no weather worries once you’re through the doors.
Getting There
Doors matter more than the forecast tonight, but the trip in is worth planning for. The National Weather Service has Thursday’s slight chance of showers and thunderstorms wrapping up before 7am, with the day clearing out to sunny skies and a high near 84°F. By the time this 11:00 PM CT show rolls around, you shouldn’t be dealing with rain — just factor in that Chicago in late July can still feel muggy after dark, so dress for comfort walking from parking or your rideshare drop-off to the Vic’s entrance on Belmont Avenue.
Since this is a late-night aftershow stacked on top of a full Lollapalooza day, expect the surrounding area to be busy. Give yourself extra time for parking or a rideshare pickup, and confirm your route in advance — 11pm doors after a festival day means lines can move slower than usual.
Rep Your Fandom
Once you’re inside, it’s all Zara Larsson. This is a testosterone-and-glitter kind of night — an 18+ crowd, a legendary venue, and a pop star fresh off her main Lolla set. Come ready to sing along.
Practical Tips
- Arrival: With an 11pm start after a full festival day, plan to arrive early — aftershows like this tend to fill up fast and lines can back up.
- ID required: This is an 18+ show, so bring a valid photo ID along with your ticket.
- What to bring: Keep it simple. Vic Theatre shows typically mean a bag-check policy, so travel light.
- Layer up: Theaters and venues often run cooler than the outside air once the AC and crowd get going — even with a warm 84°F day on tap, a light layer isn’t a bad call for an indoor late-night show.
With the rain chances clearing out hours before doors, the only real weather factor tonight is the walk in. Once you’re inside the Vic, it’s just Zara Larsson, a packed house, and one of the best aftershows of Lolla week.
