Lollapalooza’s bag policy is designed to keep entry smooth and secure—here’s the lowdown based on the latest clarifications and festivalgoer discussions on r/lollapalooza.
Bag Rules:
- Small Bags: Clutches and fanny packs up to 6" x 9" are allowed without needing to be clear, but they must have only one pocket.
- Larger Bags: Must be clear and no bigger than 12" x 6" x 12". Hydration packs fall outside the clear-bag rule but have their own limits.
- Hydration Packs: Allowed with up to two zippered pockets plus a reservoir, no clear requirement, but they must be emptied of all liquid before entry.
Entry Tips:
- Keep bag pockets open before approaching security for faster searches.
- Size checks are generally lenient, but some guards can be sticklers—plan accordingly.
FAQs from the Reddit Thread:
- Metal Water Bottles inside Bags? Not explicitly covered. Best to confirm with festival staff or avoid to prevent delays.
- Ice in Hydration Packs? Official rules require packs to be emptied of liquid. Ice isn’t specifically mentioned but might be treated as liquid, so don’t risk it.
- Combining Hydration Packs and Collapsible Bottles? Generally fine if each item meets size and policy standards.
- Rave Runner Bags with Multiple Compartments? These might raise eyebrows due to multiple pockets—single-compartment bags reduce hassle.
For the most reliable info, always check Lollapalooza’s official bag policy before heading to the fest. Staying prepped on bag rules means less time in line—more time for the music.
