Here's a fun fact: Megan Thee Stallion is no stranger to making festival history. She became the first female rapper to headline Reading Festival in the UK just last year. And the Chicago Philharmonic? Their genre-bending performances have previously featured collaborations with rock bands and hip-hop artists, making them the perfect fit for Lolla's eclectic mix.

And did you know that Lollapalooza started back in 1991 as a farewell tour for Perry Farrell's band, Jane's Addiction? It's grown leaps and bounds since then, evolving into a global sensation. This year’s festival is another thrilling chapter in its storied history, intermingling classical music with modern pop culture in a celebration like no other.
