Two people were arrested for battery Thursday, although one was ultimately not charged. Five more were taken into custody for unknown reasons Saturday, and no arrests were reported Friday, according to the Sun-Times.

This year's Lollapalooza featured heightened security — in part to the October mass shooting at a music fest in Las Vegas, which claimed 59 lives. Months prior to the tragedy, Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock reportedly booked rooms overlooking Grant Park during Lollapalooza 2017, but never showed up. This week, police in Las Vegas said the Lollapalooza hotel booking was the top "indicator of intent" for Paddock's eventual attack.

This year's Lollapalooza performers included The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Portugal, the Man.
