Is there shade at Lollapalooza?

For a July afternoon set at Lollapalooza, the sun sits 66° up in the south-west at the start, so shade means finding tree cover or bringing your own — it's an open field. Sunset is 8:23 PM local: an evening session gets real shade as the sun drops — by 7:05 PM the sun is only 13° up in the west, 79 minutes from setting.

How much do we know?

Lollapalooza is an open festival ground with no fixed seating, so we don't colour sections — the honest tool is the satellite shadow view, which uses baked building heights and tree canopy to show shade anywhere on the field. What's above is exact: the sun's astronomical position for these coordinates and timezone.
