Lollapalooza drops 2019 line-up with Yaeji, RL Grime, Flume
This year's Lollapalooza line-up is 44 per cent female
Chicago's iconic Lollapalooza music festival has revealed the line-up for its 2019 edition.
Featuring a wide range of pop, hip hop, r 'n' b, electronic music and more, the headliners who have been tapped for this four-day music festival include Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, The Strokes, Tame Impala, Flume, The Chainsmokers, Lil Wayne and Janelle Monae.
On the electronic front, Lollapalooza has recruited Camelphat, Louis The Child, Yaeji, Fisher, RL Grime, DJ Diesel (aka Shaquille O'Neil) and more.
It is interesting to note that 44 per cent of the festival's lineup is female or has a band that includes at least one female in it. Considering the fact that the current national average for female representation on festival bills is 19 per cent, this is a noteworthy and progressive step forward for the event.
The four-day Lollapalooza Festival will run from August 1 - 4 in Chicago’s Grant Park.
