Now that people have had nearly two months to marinate on that, Lollapalooza released full schedules and set times galore. The four-day event will unfold across eight stages: Bud Light, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Bacardi, BMI, Kidzapalooza, Perry’s, Coinbase, and T-Mobile. All times are local, and the festival noted that “all times are subject to change.” But for now, this is what fans will have to work with.

Thursday, August 3, will feature Eilish on the T-Mobile stage beginning at 8:45 p.m. Diplo will go on the Perry’s stage from 8:30-9:45 p.m., while Karol G is slated for 8:40 to 10 p.m. on the Bud Light stage.

Jessie Reyez is expected on the Coinbase stage from 7:45 to 8:45 p.m., and Sabrina Carpenter will handle Coinbase before that from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m. Fred Again.. is slated to warm up the T-Mobile stage for Lamar from 6:45 to 7:45 p.m.

On Saturday, August 5, fans can choose to cap the night with either Odesza (8:45 p.m.) on the T-Mobile stage or Tomorrow X Together (8:30 to 10 p.m.) on Bud Light. The day’s schedule also includes Pusha T (8:45 p.m.), JID (6:45 to 7:45 p.m.), Maggie Rogers (6:45 to 7:45 p.m.), and Niki (5:45 to 6:45 p.m.).

It will all come to a head on Sunday, August 6, with Red Hot Chili Peppers on the T-Mobile stage beginning at 8:30 p.m., Lana Del Rey over on the Bud Light stage from 8:30 to 10 p.m., and Louis The Child performing on the Perry’s stage from 8:45 to 9:45 p.m. Other notable Sunday sets include Rina Sawayama (6:45 to 7:45 p.m.), Lil Yachty (4:45 to 5:45 p.m.), Joey Badass (5:45 to 6:45 p.m.), A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (6:30 to 7:30 p.m.), Maisie Peters (5:30 to 6:30 p.m.), and Bakar (2 to 2:45 p.m.).

Lollapalooza is returning to Grant Park in Chicago on August 3-6, and as usual, the lineup is a sprawling collection of the biggest names in music. This year’s headliners include Kendrick Lamar, Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Odesza, Lana Del Rey, Karol G, The 1975, and Tomorrow X Together. The presale begins on March 23 (Thursday) at 10 am CT. A wider sale is planned to follow. You can get more information at http://lollapalooza.com.

Uproxx’s Carolyn Droke called the 2022 edition of the long-running festival “a big city music festival done right,” calling attention to the diversity of genres and its “outstanding performances accompanied by breathtaking city skyline views.” This year’s fest is likely to stick to that tradition thanks to the inclusion of veteran performers like Fred Again…, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Carly Rae Jepsen, Diplo, Rina Sawayama, and the genre-bending Lil Yachty. There’s that diversity again. You can see a complete list of the performers for Lollapalooza 2023 below.

Lollapalooza is rapidly approaching its 20th anniversary, making it one of the longest-running big festivals in the world. While it has expanded to include events in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paris, and Sweden, the main festival in Chicago remains the biggest draw, with the 2022 festival bringing in nearly 400,000 concertgoers to Grant Park.

In its over a decade of existence, Hangout Festival has risen among the most notable mega music festivals in the South.

For 2023, Hangout Fest is coming in hot with the newly announced headlining slate of SZA, Paramore, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Calvin Harris. Both SZA and Paramore will be riding the high off of their new albums, S.O.S. and This Is Why, respectively. But the buck doesn’t stop there.

The festival takes place from May 19th – 21st and joining the headliners on the Hangout Fest 2023 lineup are gigantic acts in hip-hop, rock, EDM, and more.

Rick Rubin Hurt Red Hot Chili Peppers More Than He Helped, A Former RHCP Member Believes

Since the ’80s, Rick Rubin has been consistently praised and hailed as one of the most important producers in music. One of his most frequent collaborators is Red Hot Chili Peppers, as he’s produced all of their albums since their 1991 breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik (except for 2016’s The Getaway, which Danger Mouse produced). That said, Josh Klinghoffer, RHCP’s guitarist for The Getaway and 2011’s I’m With You, didn’t see Rubin as an asset.

In a recent interview with VWMusic, Klinghoffer was asked about his takeaway from his time as a Chili Pepper. He teased some strong feelings, saying he’s “incredibly conflicted” about his output with the band because with both albums he was a part of, “producers got in the way of us truly making great music or a great record.”

He didn’t mention Danger Mouse by name but he did call out Rubin directly, saying, “I like almost all of the songs that we wrote together, but seldom did we capture them in the best way. I will say that in the case of I’m With You, I feel Rick Rubin was way more a hindrance than a help. He told me once, ‘I just want to help the songs be the best they can be.’ I should’ve said, ‘Well, then get your driver to come and get you.’”

Red Hot Chili Peppers Unveil The ‘Return Of The Dream Canteen’ Tracklist

It’s going to get spicy this fall when the Red Hot Chili Peppers drop their forthcoming album Return Of The Dream Canteen on October 14. To kick off the rollout, the legendary band released their new single “Tippa My Tongue” today, just under a week after they shared a promotional video for the album.

It has been a year of hard work for Red Hot Chili Peppers, who just three months ago released Unlimited Love, led by singles “Nerve Flip,” “Not The One,” “Poster Child,” and “Black Summer.” Listeners ought to especially be excited by this output as it has been six years since their 2016 album The Getaway. Said excitement is likely what led to a fan rushing the stage to try and sing with them and Thundercat in their recent live show at College Street Music Hall.

Check out the tracklist for Return Of The Dream Canteen below.

1. “Tippa My Tongue”
2. “Peace And Love”
3. “Reach Out”
4. “Eddie”
5. “Fake As Fu@k”
6. “Bella”
7. “Roulette”
8. “My Cigarette”
9. “Afterlife”
10. “Shoot Me A Smile”
11. “Handful”
12. “The Drummer”
13. “Bag Of Grins”
14. “La La La La La La La La”
15. “Copperbelly”
16. “Carry Me Home”
17. “In The Snow.”

Return Of The Dream Canteen is out 10/14 via Warner Records. Pre-save it here.

Since the beginning of last month, Red Hot Chili Peppers have been touring Europe with plans to bring their talents to North America later this month. It comes after the band released their 12th album Unlimited Love back in April. The project is a 17-track effort that’s their first full-length release since 2016’s The Getaway. Prior to releasing Unlimited Love, Red Hot Chili Peppers announced a worldwide tour that features a list of openers that include The Strokes, St. Vincent, ASAP Rocky, King Princess, Haim, Beck, Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, and Thundercat.

Now, that list is a little bit longer as Post Malone will join Red Hot Chili Peppers for six shows in Australia and New Zealand. Posty and Red Hot Chili Peppers will make stops in Auckland, Dunedin, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth starting in late January and concluding in mid-February 2023. That tour will follow Post Malone’s own tour in support of his fourth album Twelve Carat Toothache. Roddy Ricch will join him across the tour’s 33 shows which kick off in September and continues through November.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Made The Odd Move Of Letting Opener ASAP Rocky Close Their Concert

Last night (June 22), Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, England, with support from Thundercat and ASAP Rocky. Typically, the support acts go on before the headliner (they are called “openers,” after all), but that’s not what happened yesterday.

According to The Independent, signs in the stadium read, “Due to unforeseen circumstances, A$AP Rocky will now play immediately after the Red Hot Chili Peppers.” Indeed, following RHCP’s set, Rocky put on a four-song performance, which technically made him the headliner and Chili Peppers the support act (with an exceptionally long set for an opener).

One fan, journalist Darren Burke, tweeted, “Red Hot Chili Peppers cut short their set tonight so support act ASAP Rocky could play AFTER their headline set. Been going to gigs for 30 odd years and never seen anything like it. Many disappointed fans. Bizarre end to the night.”

A brief fan-shot clip shows Rocky performing as what looks like a good number of attendees face away from the stage and head for the exits, since they presumably already saw what they went to see and didn’t have much interest in sticking around for Rocky, who isn’t musically similar to RHCP.

Claims that RHCP cut their set short to accommodate Rocky seem unfounded, however: Per Setlist.fm, the band had an 18-song set, which is as many (or more) songs than their recent performances have included.
