Lollapalooza certainly wasn't short on sizzling performances this weekend as some of music's biggest stars cranked up the heat with a series of flesh-flashing outfits and topless appearances.

Swedish pop beauty Zara Larsson showed off her enviable abs in a tiny striped crop top and skimpy denim hotpants, with a setlist featuring Midnight Sun, I Would Like and Lush Life.

Reflecting on her success, the star, 28, told the crowd: "Its been nine years since I was here for the first time and a lot of things have changed its so crazy what is happening to my life just this past couple of months."

While BLACKPINK star Jennie left little to the imagination in a daring black bralette and cropped jacket during her solo set.

She delivered an energetic set with her debut solo festival performance as she whizzed through hits such as Like Jennie and Mantra.

British rocker Yungblud, 28, also got pulses racing after ripping off his shirt to reveal his tattooed torso before later joining rock legends The Smashing Pumpkins for a surprise performance of their 1993 track Luna.

Speaking after his rousing performance in Chicago Yungblud admitted he's been "going through a hard time" in recent months but he was "grateful" to the incredible reception from the crowd.

Smashing Pumpkins had another huge guest in store when Olivia Rodrigo also made an appearance on stage, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Elsewhere, festivalgoers were treated to energetic performances from The Neighbourhood, Major Lazer and DJ John Summit.

It was a tough performance for The Neighbourhood who were forced to perform without most of their gear after it was lost on en route.

Taking to X before their slot, the band wrote: "Lollapalooza Due to unforeseen circumstances, a significant portion of our gear did not make it onto the plane to the festival.

"Were still committed to putting on the best show we possibly can for you, Chicago, even if it looks a little different than originally planned".

Diplo's Major Lazer brought the festival to an almighty close as they teamed up with Lil Uzi Vert.

Also in the dance world DJ John Summit helped ensure Lollapalooza delivered another unforgettable weekend packed with headline moments.

Whilst, Drag Queen Trixie Mattel also put on a show-stopping performance

Lollapalooza Chicago comes to a close on Sunday with Tate McRae and The XX.
