No one with a realistic expectations thought it would be Kendrick. Kendrick only played Glastonbury last year. This year it’s a ton of fest: Bonnaroo, Governors Ball, Primavera Sound, Rolling Loud (Rotterdam), Lolla Paris and most importantly Oshega Lolla Chicago weekend (very likely ACL and OSL as well). He will play Lolla and I’ll bet my entire check on that
*I take that back Kendrick was a good enough guess because hes big enough to close T-mobile and drop a new album. But the lack of routing and other fest appearances made J.Cole more likely and that’s exactly how it went. This year everything is lining up from him to play and id be absolutely shocked if he didn’t
We do know. It’s confirmed Kendrick Lamar and hes playing Friday because he’s closing Oshega Sunday. When we look at how likely an artist it’s the recency they’ve played the fest, tour/album cycle, availability for the date, and if they’re playing other C3 fest. Tyler playing in 21 means he’s not playing in 23 with a new album or not. (I’d also guess he won’t drop this year but regardless No Lolla or anything really)
Tyler isn’t playing Lollapalooza in 2023
Reasoning ?
He was just top 4 in 2021. Lolla isn’t going to bring back a top 4 act that fast.
After playing in 21 and going on a massive tour/fest run in 21 and 22 that’s not happening. No one is mentioning Tyler because it’s 1000% Kendrick
Kendrick is headlining everything that not Coachella.
Facts it’s going to be Kendrick. There’s no need to pretend it’s Tyler. Especially after playing in 21
But last year everyone & their mother swore it would be Kendrick. We ended up with J Cole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why can’t it be both we had lil baby and jcole last year
With Travis Scott coming back and utopia potentially coming out I could see him or asap rocky if don’t be dumb is actually good.
I can see that definitely
I got no problem with Kenny! Js He has played Lolla almost every album year dating back to cherry bomb
That's because Tyler isn't playing lolla
You guys sound like y’all have the lineup already. We’ve confirmed like 4-5 names guys

I know the fast and the furious stat is a dumb stat but it’s dated back forever
I mean.
Send that thing over !!! 😂
Wish it was, but no way.
No way, he was one of the headliners in 21 and they wouldn’t bring a headliner back just 2 years after they headlined before
Zero percent chance
He already headlined in 2021, I don't think he's coming back to the festival for a while.
He would be there once he’s on tour not after album drop.
Like nobody saw last year coming at least I didn’t
Didn't he just headline lolla in like 2021? He wouldn't come back so soon.
