The annual four-day music festival, which drew more than 100,000 people to Chicago’s Grant Park each day, concluded with standout sets from rising stars and legacy acts alike.
Performing in a striking green dress, the rising star drew a crowd that spilled far beyond the confines of the Airbnb stage.
With an impressive turnout for her first U.S. festival performance, the Amy Winehouse-inspired performer proved she’s destined for even greater success.
Still, Saturday’s highlight was undoubtedly Olivia Dean, who delivered a near perfect performance as the night’s other headliner.
During her set, Dean said her 2025 album “The Art of Loving” was inspired by the book “All About Love: New Visions” by renowned Black feminist writer bell hooks.
