Lollapalooza 2025 – Chicago, we are back and we are bringing the heat! 

The Budlong Southern Chicken is returning to one of the most beloved music festivals in the world, repping its signature hot chicken, plenty of hospitality and some seriously bold flavor.

If you’re hitting Grant Park from July 31 to August 3, make a pit stop at The Budlong for a meal worth singing about. Our Lolla menu? Festival-approved and flavor-packed.

  • Hot Chicken Tenders and Fries: Both served golden, crispy and delicious. Want to share with your festie besties? We are offering a bundle that feeds four this year! 
  • The Budlong Original Sandwich: Our guest-favorite hot chicken sandwich stacked high with pickles, slaw and our famous Comeback Sauce. 
  • Crispy Fries: The perfect side or snack - no explanation needed!

We always love seeing fans from past years stop by for their Budlong fix, and we are excited to serve the newcomers this year who take one bite and instantly just get it.

There’s something about hot chicken under the summer sun, with music in the background and sauce on your hands, that just hits different.

Whether you are fueling up before the headliner or cooling down between sets, we have got your festival snack covered with bold flavors, Southern soul and just the right amount of heat.

Come find us in Chow Town at Lolla in a couple of weeks!
