J-Hope from BTS was added as the headliner of this year’s Lollapalooza Festival, which takes place in Grant Park in Chicago on July 28-31. J-Hope will close the festival on Sunday, July 31, making history as the first South Korean artist to head the main stage of a major music festival in the United States.
Lollapalooza also announced that the K-pop band Tomorrow x Together was added to the lineup on Saturday, July 30, marking their debut at the festival in the United States.
“I am happy to welcome J-Hope and Tomorrow x Together to the Lollapalooza family,” Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell said in a statement. “These artists have been given great gifts in communication. Their global audience speaks different languages, but they have a strong passion for their music. Lolla is the place where all music genres live in harmony. These are the superstars of the global K-Pop phenomenon and we are so excited to have them at this year’s festival. ”
J-Hope joins the account along with headliners Metallica, Dua Lipa, J. Cole and Green Day, among many others, as well as kits from Kygo, Big Sean, Jazmine Sullivan, Don Toliver, Charli XCX, Idles, Turnstile and others. . . The festival also recently posted a full list of scheduled times for the festival on its Twitter page.
The additions to J-Hope and Tomorrow x Together are coming as Doja Cat cancels several of its summer festival performances, including Lollapalooza and its participation in the Weeknd tour due to throat health complications. The singer posted a note on Twitter on May 20, explaining her absence and confirming that she will undergo tonsil surgery and will need time to recover.
Last year, Lollapalooza also took place in Grant Park and left its mark as one of the first major festivals to return since the end of the pandemic.
