Mary Owen of the Chicago Tribune wrote an article about the recent Lollapalooza meeting at Roosevelt University hosted by GPAC. Chicago sign a five year deal last October to hold the 3-day concert in Grant Park following the success of last year’s concert.

However, a number of neighborhood residents had complained about the noise levels and are concerned that scant attention is being paid to local and state noise statutes. The concert will be held August 3rd through the 5th this year.

From the Chicago Tribune - “The stage changes weren’t enough for Richard Ward, president of the New Eastside Association of Residents, who said he’s frustrated because it appears to him that local and state agencies will not enforce noise ordinances. “It’s one thing to have three hours of music, but 39 hours?” Ward said.”
