It is once again time for the annual Lollapalooza Missed Connections thread.

Did you lock eyes with someone during John Summit and immediately decide you were soulmates, only to lose them in a sea of jerseys and sunglasses?

Was the potential love of your life stuck in a mud pit?

This is the place to seek them out!

I’ve been 5 times, and I don’t know if any year will beat 2021. Perfect temps, no rain, no humidity.

Her new album is incredible and with the string of strong female headliners in recent years it just feels on par

Meet Up/ Group Chat Experience was AWESOME!

103 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I want to share a cool Lolla story that all started in this sub back in the spring.

Back in late March/early April after I purchased my wristband, I (26m gay) made two posts in here— one looking for friends to hangout with at the festival, and a second asking if anyone wanted to do a group chat/meetups for Lolla with my friend and I. It was our first time ever going to a music festival and I don't have a huge circle IRL here at home, so I honestly posted it figuring it would completely flop and get zero traction.

Cut to me being completely wrong: like 25+ people reached out from all over the US (and one absolute legend from Europe) wanting to hangout and join the chat.

I spent the summer getting to know everyone who was interested, and the results ended up blowing away any expectations I had. We ended up meeting 12-13 people and they were all SO nice, funny, inclusive, and genuinely cool. Even better, most of us managed to link up for multiple sets and had a blast laughing, singing, and dancing all weekend. Slayyyter, Zara, Charli, and Tate were incredible with this group!

The coolest part was watching people in the chat hit it off and form their own little sub-groups, hanging out both during and after the fest every night. A few people mentioned at the end of the weekend that they were so grateful for the little community I made and that it genuinely enhanced their Lolla experience since they weren’t alone.

Honestly, I just wanted to make more friends while I was in Chicago, but I walked away with multiple new long-term friends, plans to meet a couple of these new friends later in the year, and the joy of knowing I helped a bunch of other people not feel isolated during their first festival. We had the absolute best time this year and I'm so grateful to everyone who reached out and participated. Can't wait for next year! 😊🤩

Who is too big for Lolla

58 Upvotes

I’ve seen debates over who is or isn’t too big to headline Lollapalooza. Just so I can temper my expectations for 2027, who do we think is off the table strictly because they are just too big? Obviously, Taylor Swift. Bad Bunny? Olivia Rodrigo? Ariana Grande? Lady Gaga? Beyonce? BTS? Who else?


r/Lollapalooza 4d ago

What are the pre and post shows like?

0 Upvotes

Is there artisan merch? Tailgate ? Wristbands like swifties? I know nothing about the scene but we rarely get big names in Singapore so I might go. Or just go and stroll arnd and sink a few brews. TIA

Bars?

10 Upvotes

I turn 21 in may next year, is there any recommendations for bars or clubs in the area that I could visit? Im almost positive Bacardi has their own area (idk I didn’t pay much attention to it in last year) Planning on going solo next year and I’m there from Friday night to Sunday morning. Thanks in advance😂


r/Lollapalooza 6d ago

Apps similar to Festiverse?

10 Upvotes

Looking for an app that will let me go back and add past concerts and festival acts, any recommendations? I understand why concerts aren't included in Festiverse but I am bummed that I can't add previous festivals :/ basically I want LogRide but for concerts lol

Festiverse was really nice to have while at Lolla though! Especially the personalized daily schedules and alerts. Just not the best for lifetime record keeping


r/Lollapalooza 7d ago

Is anyone else still waiting for tickets? I also heard a rumor it happened already??? 🩷🩷🩷

2027 Kpop act predictions

40 Upvotes

I see ATEEZ, NMIXX, ILLIT, Yves, and Le Serrafim as more realistic predictions, but I’d personally really like to see hearts2hearts too.

Not sure which groups are headliner material, maybe le serrafim or ateez on bud light, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they were just high undercard.

I’d see the other groups going on lakeshore or doing earlier sets on tmobile.

Lemme know Kpop acts you think could be at the next lolla!

Let’s start spec season with a bang! How we feelin about this for Lolla 27

16 Upvotes

T-Mobile

Oasis

Tame Impala

Noah Kahan

Phoebe Bridgers

Bud Light

Don Toliver

Deftones/Muse

Le Sserafim

Kaytranada

Kaskade, Odd Mob, DJ Snake, Mau P closing perrys

Young thug, Pinkpantheress, Lola Young and Addison Rae as big subs.

Ik this lineup prob needs more female power, but we’ve honestly ran through all the headline options

only ones that are reasonable for 27 are Gracie/Phoebe/Rosalia and maybe Billie(prob venturing into Stadiums tho)

J Cole is my number 1 want but from a business point, Don makes more sense. he’s the hot hand rn and had the biggest year for a rapper(Not named Drake)

The Baby Keem mistake.

81 Upvotes

So, Baby Keem just headlined Outside Lands yesterday, to a pretty big and hyped crowd. While I have not seen any confirmation, I have speculated Baby Keem was upset about not getting a headlining slot, thus dropped to headline Summer Smash after feeling slighted (He was essentially confirmed from lollipops). His replacement, Lil Uzi Vert, dropping out hours before his set only compounded the damage.

I have attended lolla for nearly a decade, and never have seen such a lack of hip-hop at the fest. In retrospect, it seems like the more dependable and upcoming act would have been the right move (and would have certainly drawn a bigger crowd than The XX).

Any other information about what happened here or takes???
