Chicago's Lollapalooza music festival recently made a significant announcement regarding a headliner change for this year's event. Originally, the lineup for the 2024 festival was unveiled in March, featuring big names such as SZA, Blink-182, and Tyler, the Creator, among others. Tickets went on sale shortly after the lineup reveal, and daily lineups and stages were also disclosed.
Following Tyler, the Creator's cancellation, Megan Thee Stallion was announced as the new headliner for Lollapalooza, while Sabrina Carpenter will step in to fill Tyler's spot at Outside Lands. The lineup adjustment was met with mixed reactions from fans, with some expressing disappointment and others welcoming the change.
The upcoming Lollapalooza festival, which will mark its 20th anniversary in Chicago, is set to take place from August 1 to 4. The event has become a staple in the city since its launch in 2005, with a recent agreement ensuring its presence for at least another decade. With a maximum attendance cap of 115,000 people, Lollapalooza has consistently attracted big-name performers, as seen in the 2023 lineup which featured artists like Kendrick Lamar and Billie Eilish.
Outside Lands, scheduled from August 9 to 11 at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, will feature Sabrina Carpenter as a new headliner alongside other artists like the Killers and Sturgill Simpson. Meanwhile, Tyler, the Creator, who previously headlined Coachella in April, is gearing up for a performance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October.
Despite the changes in headliners and the disappointment expressed by some fans, the upcoming music festivals promise an exciting lineup of talented artists to entertain attendees. While Tyler, the Creator's absence may be felt, the addition of new performers like Megan Thee Stallion and Sabrina Carpenter is sure to bring fresh energy and excitement to these highly anticipated events.
