Lollapalooza rolled past the halfway mark on a warm Saturday with, once again, no rain in sight.

The day’s lineup at Chicago’s Grant Park was headlined by Norwegian DJ Kygo, pop singer Willow, house musician Kaskade, rapper J. Cole and K-Pop boy band Tomorrow x Together. Also in the lineup were Grabbitz, Hinds, Dannylux, Prentiss, Larry June and Turnstile,

Also drawing crowds was the hugely popular Kidzapalooza, the “interactive music playground” on the festival grounds, with its own daily lineup of family-friendly performances, music and dance workshops.

The four-day music extravaganza returned to a full-on festival last year, after COVID-19 shutdowns forced a pivot to an online incarnation in 2020.

Lolla continues until 10 p.m. each day. Food from more than 30 local vendors is available, as is an array of festival merch.

 

Tomorrow x Together were a late add-on to Lollapalooza, along with fellow K-Pop boy bander J-Hope (of BTS), who replaced Doja Cat. Clearly it was a smart move by festival organizers as the music has become hugely marketable in the U.S. Harkening back to the ’90s birth of ’N Sync and Backstreet Boys, Tomorrow x Together took the cues well with highly choreographed dance moves, well-coiffed and beautiful band members and earworm material that gets lodged in heads.

Though they were seven minutes late and ended four minutes early, Tomorrow x Together filled the 30-ish-minute set with a number of favorites like “Good Boy Gone Bad” and “Valley of Lies,” with the song’s guest star Iann Dior joining them onstage, though there was no J-Hope set-crashing as some had predicted.

“We’ve been dreaming of this moment a long time. We hope to be here next year,” said one of the singers to roaring applause. For those who missed the set, the whole thing was filmed on hundreds of smartphones, so just look for it on social media. —Selena Fragassi
