Lollapalooza is returning to the iconic Grant Park in Chicago between July 31 and August 3, and it will welcome 170 artists across eight stages. Its next edition will be one star-studded affair, with Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter leading the lineup, and they’ll be in pretty good company.

Tyler, the Creator, Twice, Korn, Rüfüs Du Sol, Gracie Abrams, and Doechii are also among the headliners, along with Luke Combs. He’ll close the festival, which is a historic first for a country act. The girl group Twice will also make history as the first K-pop girl group to headline Lollapalooza.

The list of notable acts performing at Lollapalooza also includes Cage the Elephant, Clairo, Dominic Fike, Bleachers, Finneas, T-Pain, Dom Dolla, Remi Wolf, The Marías, Martin Garrix, Rebecca Black, The Dare, Måneskin’s Damiano David, Foster the People, and Wallows, among others.

Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour concert special is coming to Netflix on October 29, and it will give Rodrigo’s fans an exhilarating look at her latest tour from the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

“I am so excited to share the Guts World Tour with my fans. For those of you who didn’t get a chance to rock out in-person, now you can have the best seats in the house! And to the fans who cheered, screamed, and danced with me, I am so glad we get to do it all over again!” said Rodrigo in a statement.

Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts was released in September 2023, and it hit No. 1 in several countries, including the US. Its lead single “Vampire” debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it was later followed by the top ten hits “Bad Idea Right?” and “Get Him Back!”

Rodrigo embarked on a tour in support of this album back in February, and she’s expected to perform a total of 99 shows before Guts World Tour concludes with a series of concerts across South America in March 2025.

Rodrigo embarked on the Guts World Tour back in February and performed a series of concerts across North America. The tour included four dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and Noah Kahan hit the stage by Rodrigo’s side during one of the concerts.

The duo delivered an acoustic guitar version of Kahan’s breakout hit “Stick Season”, which became a viral hit in recent months and hit No. 1 in the UK. Kahan later took to social media to thank Rodrigo for inviting him to join her on stage, and described her as “a special talent”.

This isn’t the first time Rodrigo and Kahan expressed their admiration for each other. She previously performed a cover of “Stick Season” on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge, and Kahan returned the favor by delivering an emotional cover of her song “Lacy” during his appearance on the same show.

Two covers were released on a seven-inch colored vinyl as a Record Store Day special, and Rodrigo said she’s hoping for a collaboration with Kahan because she thinks he’s “very inspiring”.

This week marked the release of Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts (Spilled), the long-awaited deluxe edition of her latest studio album. This album gave us five amazing new songs, but “Obsessed” is shaping up to be another instant hit in Rodrigo’s impressive discography.

Metro Boomin and Future also made it to our list with “Like That” ft. Kendrick Lamar from their collaborative album We Don’t Trust You. Speaking of amazing collaborations, Shakira’s “Puntería” ft. Cardi B was released as the last single from her new album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran.

If you’re a fan of indie music, don’t fret because we also made room for some of the favorite alternative artists on this week’s list. Kick things off by listening to Fletcher’s new album In Search of the Antidote, including our favorite song “Pretending”.

Mitch Ryan-directed visual takes us to a hotel ballroom and it shows Rodrigo rocking a black dress, messy baby bangs, and deep red lipstick. She proudly wears the sash that reads “Miss Right Now”, but it quickly turns out she’s not the only one.

As she opens the chorus with a cutting line, “I’m so obsessed with your ex,” we see she’s surrounded by a group of women in white dresses wearing similar sashes. They’re all exes of the same guy, with such titles as “Miss Thought She Was the One,” “Miss 2 Summers Ago”, and “Miss Mom’s Favorite”.

“Obsessed” was featured on some vinyl editions of Guts, and it became a fan favorite long before she dropped the album’s deluxe edition. Guts (Spilled) was released on March 22, and “Obsessed” is one of the four new songs featured on this album, alongside “Scared of My Guitar”, “Stranger”, and “Girl I’ve Always Been”.

Rodrigo embarked on Guts World Tour in support of her second studio album, which includes 77 shows across North America and Europe this spring and summer.

This will be the third time that Eilish performs at the Grammys, having previously done so in 2021 and 2022. Rodrigo took the stage in 2022, while Lipa is returning for the first time since 2021.

Eilish has six nominations at the 2024 Grammys. Her song “What Was I Made For?” which was part of the soundtrack for blockbuster Barbie, is nominated in five categories, including Song Of The Year. Additionally, Eilish also received a nomination for Labrinth collaboration “Never Felt So Alone” in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category.

Rodrigo will also have six opportunities to add more Grammy Awards to her collection. Her second studio album, Guts, has been nominated in the Album of the Year and Best Vocal Performance categories. Rodrigo’s hit single “Vampire” is up for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance awards, while her track “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl” is nominated in the Best Rock Song category.

Olivia Rodrigo revealed that Pure Heroine was the first album she bought with her own money during The Hollywood Reporter’s recent Songwriters Roundtable, featuring Billie Eilish, Cynthia Erivo, Julia Michaels, Jon Batiste, and Dua Lipa.

The “Good 4 U” singer said this album changed the trajectory of her life with its relatable lyrics “that are just about being a teenager living in the suburbs.”

“I remember listening to it as I first started writing songs and just being blown away by her lyrics… I just remember never hearing my life be put into a song like that where it just made being young and doing these seemingly unimportant things feel so sacred,” said Rodrigo.

Pure Heroine was released in 2013 as Lorde’s debut album, and it went on to sell over five million copies worldwide. Its lead single “Royals” put the young New Zealand singer on the map, but this record also produced her hit songs “Tennis Court”, “Team” and “Glory and Gore”.

Rodrigo was one of Clarkson’s final guests of 2023, and the talk show host couldn’t resist but gush about her amazing lyrics. One of the songs that came out during the show was “Lacy”, and Clarkson singled out “And I despise my jealous eyes and how hard they fell for you / Yeah, I despise my rotten mind and how much it worships you” as her favorite lyrics.

Rodrigo told Clarkson that it was “very emo of [her] writing that” and revealed how the lyrics for “Lacy” came together.

“I took a poetry class at USC… I wrote a poem called ‘Lacy’ for one of the assignments, and I really liked it. I’m like, ‘I’m gonna turn it into a song!’ so that’s sort of where that one came from,” explained Rodrigo.

“Lacy” captured Rodrigo’s obsession with another seemingly perfect female figure, and sparked speculations she wrote it about Taylor Swift or Sabrina Carpenter. She previously told The Los Angeles Times that it’s “not classy” to reveal who the song is about, and added she likes “more creative answers to who Lacy is — like it’s a past version of myself or the voice in my head telling me I’m not good enough.”

Sam Smith: “Unholy ft. Kim Petras”

Sam Smith delivered the first SNL performance of 2023 alongside Kim Petras. This rendition of “Unholy” was pretty tame compared to some of their other performances, but that added to its charm.

Karol G: “Mientras Me Curo Del Cora”

We can count on Karol G to knock it out of the park every time she hits the stage, and she impressed us with two completely different takes on “Tus Gafitas” and “Mientras Me Curo Del Cora “ during her time on SNL.

Bad Bunny

Bad Bunny is the only SNL host to pull double duty in 2023, and he delivered an epic performance of “Un Preview” and “Monaco” in addition to hosting the show.

Olivia Rodrigo: “All-American B—h”

Olivia Rodrigo brought pop-punk energy to the SNL stage with a theatrical rendition of “All-American B—h”, which included everything from glass breaking to cake smashing.

Tate McRae: “Greedy”

Tate McRae gave us one of the biggest viral hits of 2023 with “Greedy” and her amazing dance skills were on full display in this electrifying live performance.
