Lollapalooza sees huge crowds, great weather in Grant Park; Metallica ...

CHICAGO (WLS) --

The weather is cooperating for the huge crowds on hand Saturday at Day 2 of Lollapalooza in Grant Park.

As many as 300,000 people are expected to attend the three-day music event, which runs through Sunday.

While police say they have relatively few problems with the crowds, they did have a problem with one of the performers on stage Saturday. Singer Travis Scott reportedly encouraged fans to rush the stage and go over the barricades.

After fleeing the scene, Scott was taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct. One fan was also charged with disorderly conduct.

General admission tickets, multi-day passes and travel packages are sold out. The website says VIP tickets are still available, but they may be gone soon.

Backpacks and purses are allowed, but concert organizers are encouraging people to leave bags at home for the quickest entry. All bags brought into the park are subject to inspection at the gate. Express lanes are available for anyone entering without a bag.

"It"s a gorgeous weather, but it is warm so we encourage everybody to make sure that they"re staying hydrated," said Lollapalooza marketing manager Brooke Leal. "Bring some refillable water bottles with you to the park. We"ve got free water filling stations throughout the park."

A full list of allowed and prohibited items is available on the Lollapalooza website.

Gates open at 11 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. each day. Metallica headlines on Saturday and Florence and the Machine will headline Sunday.
