soooo interesting to see people actually dive deep into different artist’s schedules and see who could potentially perform or not. anyways, anyone think still woozy would perform this year? saw him back in 2022 and he was awesssssooome. felt like me and my best friend at the time were the only two people in the crowd. i saw someone earlier mention something about harry styles performing this year as well. hmmm. he has been on hiatus and usually doesn’t do big festivals but that would honestly be insane. can’t rule it out completely because 1) his schedule could be open and 2) it’s been a few years and he did perform at coachella a few years prior. i don’t see a lot people talking about punk/hardcore bands so wondering if anyone has thought about potential artists in that genre? the anticipation is too much lol
Still Woozy played last year so no, hes not going to play this year
definitely did not check before i posted this, i just always hope to see him lol. thank you!!
"I don’t see a lot people talking about punk/hardcore bands..." Maybe because punk / hardcore has its own festival in the fall 4 1/2 miles from where Lollapalooza is held in downtown Chicago, where tix are about $290 for 3 days. Lollapalooza ain't reuniting Jawbreaker, Jawbox, or Sparta, the way riot fest has in the past.
I go every single year, and they've all been great, but I think the 2019 schedule was extra special: https://riotfest.org/2019/08/29/riot-fest-2019-schedule/ Turnstile played in the early afternoon.
last year People R Ugly performed. AMAZING pop punk band. This year i’d look out for bands like South Arcade, and The Paradox. Not traditional punk or hardcore, but both really good pop punk bands.
