Billie Eilish revealed on Dua Lipa’s podcast that her show at Lollapalooza Argentina was one of the best in her life.
You know them. It’s a wild pass. The show we did in Argentina was one of the best shows of my life, it was damn crazy,” said the singer born in California 21 years ago, when reviewing her first performance in the country, in which she gathered some 100,000 people in the San Isidro Hippodrome.
What the Dua Lipa podcast is like and where to listen to it At the end of June, Dua Lipa launched the third season of her podcast, “Dua Lipa: At Your Service”, where she chats with artists, influencers and cultural icons worldwide. It started this third year with Amelia Dimoldenberg, the host of the viral series “Chicken Shop Date.
The last time Billie Eilish played at Lollapalooza in Chicago was in 2018, before the release of her smash debut album, 2019’s, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? Before her Oscar, her Golden Globe and her seven Grammy Awards.
Back then, she was an up-and-coming 16-year-old playing the handful of songs she and brother/producer Finneas had written together in her childhood bedroom — plus a cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” — and if you wanted to see her you had to find the vodka-sponsored side stage where she made the first of many impressive first impressions.
Thursday night (August 3) in Chicago, however, things were way, way different. This time Eilish was one of the undisputed must-see headliners, drawing a modest midwestern town size sprawling audience to close out the first night of this year’s four-day Lollapalooza Festival on the city’s lakeshore.
On a warm, sunny day that featured ecstatically received sets from rising K-pop girl group NewJeans, a mob scene craning to see Vermont folk rock sensation Noah Kahan, a surprise appearance by Nelly Furtado during Dom Dolla’s set in the Perry’s Stage dance area and a pop-splosion from Carly Rae Jepsen, the table was set for Eilish to bring it all back home in style on the main stage.
Twenty One Pilots is among the big stars that will take the stage at the 2023 editions of Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The band joined the festival this week after the departure of Blink-182 due to an injury to the drummer’s hands. Lil Nas X, Rosalía, Jane’s Addiction and The 1975 will also be part of the line-up.
This will be Drake’s first performance in Argentina and Chile, while for Eilish it will be the first time in South America.
The Chilean edition will also feature performances by Armin Van Buuren, Fred Again… , Tove Lo, Gorgon City, Rise Against, Conan Gray, Wallows, Tokischa and more.
