BTS' J-Hope Makes History As Lollapalooza Headliner

Lollapalooza, the windy city’s premier music festival, has announced the full lineup for its 2022 edition. Like its previous festivals, it’ll boast a massive headliner slate which this year includes eight artists: Metallica, Dua Lipa, J. Cole, Green Day, Doja Cat, Machine Gun Kelly, Lil Baby, Kygo and now — BTS’ J-Hope, making him the first South Korean artist to headline the main stage at a major U.S. music festival.

The festival’s wide-ranging selection of acts continues with its supporting slate of over 150 artists, including Willow, Dominic Fike, King Princess, Charli XCX, Måneskin, Tomorrow x Together and many, many more.

After cancelling its 2020 edition, Lollapalooza returned in full force in the summer of 2021 for its regular four-day duration with crowds at full capacity. While there was a bit of drama in its aftermath — some critics questioned whether it was worth the Covid risk after 200+ positive cases were found to be linked to the festival — Lolla was ultimately deemed not a super-spreader event by city officials. No doubt this year’s festival will be even closer to what it was like in the Before Times.
