Lollapalooza becomes more dangerous, deadly
October 7, 2019
Most students haven’t been to Lollapalooza; for those that have attended, it can be an overwhelming experience.
RESULTS: In a random survey of 1010 Morton East students, only 26 Morton East students attended Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza is an annual 4-day music festival in Chicago, at first, it was just a one-day thing until Perry farewell wanted to expand all the dates and has been running annually since 1997. people go there to see an artist they love and that is into all the performances like alternative, rock, heavy metal, punk rock, hip-hop, electronic, even included a platform for nonprofit and political groups and various visual artists for everyone about 400,000 people made an appearance. A 24-year-old man died Saturday night after suffering a medical emergency while attending Lollapalooza at Grant Park in Chicago. He was transported from the music festival to a local hospital in critical condition and pronounced dead shortly afterward, NBC Chicago reports.
“(I didn’t like) getting squished by the people, and I did not like the mosh pits. The one thing I did like was the food,” Juliana Ortiz, a Sophomore, said.
Mostly some younger students don’t like getting into mosh pits because of the lack of air you can get because of the dirt on the floor.
“Staff at Lolla asked people to pick up trash after the festival was over with. I would go again if there were more bands and artists that I listened to,” Morton East Staff, Ms. Berezniak, said.
The staff doesn’t like Lollapalooza anymore because of the younger people going there and also was fascinated by the amount of help the young people were helping picking up trash.
“It was too packed, and people were sweating too much,” Adriana Ruiz, a Junior, said.
“I went to Lolla with my girlfriend and everyone was doing a lot of drugs in front of us,” Alexis Vasquez, a senior, said.
Some students also said that there were drugs and people doing them… It’s such a modern experience and a lot of millennial’s go
“I liked Ariana Grande’s set, she sang so good in person,” Emily Rios, a Senior, said.

(Judge) Going to large events always end up with crazy things happening, but it can also be enjoyable if you know where to stay. As well as know who to stay away from.

This article on my opinion has a good jumpline, but one think you might wanna fix is your punctuation.

I was really surprised on how people were doing drugs with out caring who was around them and how a man die at the Lollapalooza. The article needs improvement by making your information more clear.

It’s crazy how someone died at Lollapalooza from a medical condition. The only thing i will change is the photo because half of the photo is just pitch black you should’ve taken a photo of the whole entrance.

I found out that a 24 year old man had a medical emergency and pasted away. When I went Lolla this summer I would see a lot of people taken out of the crowd due to them passing out. The article needed a transition for the last quote.

I found out that at Lollapalooza, there are as many cons as there is pros. It can be fun and everything but then again there are also the negatives, like all the ones the article said. If going to lollapalooza you should be prepared for not just the fun but everything else too. The article needed more improvement on some things said and some things should’ve been explained better because some parts were confusing.
