Lollapalooza returned to Chicago’s Grant Park this past weekend, and it was one to remember. Join us as we look back at five epic performances that this festival will be remembered by.

Karol G’s Historic Set

Karol G’s set was one of the highlights of the festival’s opening day and she ended up making history as the first Latina performer to ever headline Lollapalooza in Chicago.

K-Pop Domination

K-pop acts are slowly taking over major music festivals, including Lollapalooza. Tomorrow x Together made history as the first K-pop headliner, while NewJeans became the first K-pop girl group to perform at Lollapalooza.

Kendrick Lamar’s Big Return

It’s been a decade since the last time Kendrick Lamar performed at Lollapalooza, but he felt right at home once he finally came back. He returned to Chicago’s Grant Park to close out the festival’s second day and delivered a high-energy set stacked with his biggest hits.

Billie Eilish Rocks Everyone’s World

Billie Eilish didn’t release many new songs since her second studio album Happier Than Ever, but that didn’t stop her from delivering one of Lollapalooza’s most explosive sets this year.

Lana Del Ray’s Big Finish

After her Glastonbury set was cut short earlier this summer, Lana Del Ray made up to her fans with an epic performance at Lollapalooza, which served as the festival’s big finish at the Bud Light stage.
