Lollapalooza Paris 2023

[MrTobs]

I think it's pretty decent^^. Saw Rosalia yesterday, her show is amazing, also I'm dying to see Kendrick. They both released two of the most acclaimed albums of the year. So not worse than Imagine Dragons and David Guetta at least imo.

Yes, slight overreaction. Berlin is by far the bottom of the barrel.

Lolla Berlin doesn’t have Kendrick though. Best show I’ve seen this year.

I assume we have different taste in music😉

Eh. If you like those kinda acts, sounds like you're in for a nice time, but not for me Clive.

Saying that it is now a 3 day one and given this is a very tiny quantity of acts towards what tends to be a quite genre-mixed festival (at 2018's visit I recall Zara Larsson into Stereophonics and also Kasabian > Travis Scott > Depeche Mode) so there'll probably be something different in the next tranche.

It's quite something how continually underwhelmed I am by Lolla Berlin tbf and this year's is no exception.

Indeed! I thought it was not possible but damn... A few days ago, we still hoped Billie Eilish and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now, we have Kendrick Lamar and Lil Nas X...

+ Damso

I had so much hope for this festival...

Kendrick Lamar is miles better than Billie Eilish and her 2 albums or RHCP and their notoriously shit live show 😂

Kendrick Lamar or Billie Eilish better: that's an opinion, not a fact 😉

Famous French rapper. But as he sings in French, he's not so famous worldwide. He just played 4 soldout shows at Paris-Bercy (20k), all soldout in a couple of minutes.

[kilero]

Belgian rapper but sings in French right 😉

Point is Kendrick Lamar isn't a pathetic name, hes a massive booking who has headlined glastonbury etc

Speaking about some big names saying it's 'pathetic' is not helping your cause at all 🙂 

Anyway. This edition is not for me. Not a interesting topic for me anymore.

PS: Billie Eilish headlined Glastonbury in 2022.

Well aware, I was just saying you shouldn't be disappointed with kendrick 😂

[birchtree29]

All out. I am surprised Billie is headlining Rock en seine instead of Lollapalooza

[Archi]

They announced 2h ago that new names are coming very very soon. They announced this almost at the same time Rock En Seine announced their names... would be weird and not fair-play they announce today new names. Even if they would need a strong announcement to let people forget already about Rock En Seine!

[Archi]

They just confirm it gonna be tomorrow at noon.

[Archi]

When you think it can be worst... They really changed their vibes this year. Rock is gone.

I thought maybe Black Pink were gonna be announced but it's Stray Kids in the end...

Actually not a name at all I'd like to see this year..

Kendrick is excellent but him alone is not good enough to take the trip to Paris.

Don't know if I'm just out of touch, but the only names on the Friday that I have heard of are Picture This and Maisie Peters, not even heard of Stray Kids?! Kendrick and Rosalía though are decent bookings, and I rate some of the undercard names like Lil Nas X, Kygo, J.I.D, Central Cee and San Holo.

[birchtree29]

This was kind of expected after Rock en Seine got all the good names. I am glad I went to this festival in 2018. It's in a convenient location in Paris but this lineup is not good at all.

This was how good it was back in 2018:
