BTS J-hope to headline Lollapalooza while TXT makes their U.S. music festival debut
For those uninitiated, Lollapalooza is one of the most iconic music festivals in the U.S., alongside Coachella and South by South West. It is an annual four-day music festival held in Grant Park in Chicago. It may have started as an annual touring event in 1991, but it made Chicago its home ground several years later.
All kinds of music genres find a home in Lollapalooza, including hip hop, electronic dance music (EDM), heavy metal, and alternative rock. It also features visual arts, political organizations, and non-profit organizations and sells out every year.
The other artists participating in the iconic music festival alongside BTS J-hope are - Metallica, Lil Baby, Dua Lipa, Machine Gun Kelly, J.Cole, Big Sean, Green Day, The Kid Laroi, Charli XCX, and of course TOMORROW X TOGETHER.
TOMORROW X TOGETHER will be performing at Lollapalooza in July after wrapping up their upcoming U.S. tour Act: Lovesick. They will be performing from 7:45-8:30 pm at the Solana X Perry’s stage on Saturday, July 30.
BTS J-hope will be the closing act on the Bud Light Seltzer stage, performing from 9-10 pm following The Kid Laroi’s stage.
ARMYs are overjoyed upon hearing of BTS J-hope’s success
For ARMYs, this was perhaps the best news to wake up to. They know of J-hope’s incredible talent as a rapper, dancer, and performer and do not doubt that he will set the stage on fire.
Fans have also started dubbing the event “Hobipalooza,” a combination of J-hope and Lollapalooza.
Fans are hopeful about BTS J-hope debuting Hope World 2 at the iconic music festival and performing for fans.
