J-Hope has been added to the Lollapalooza lineup as a headliner, the festival announced on Tuesday, June 7. The BTS member, who will perform at the Chicago festival on July 31, will make history as the first South Korean artist to headline a main stage at a U.S. festival.
J-Hope was added to Lollapalooza after original headliner Doja Cat was forced to call off her 2022 touring plans to undergo tonsil surgery. He joins Metallica, Dua Lipa, and Green Day, who have been previously announced to be among the headliners for this year’s Lollapalooza festival, returning to Grant Park in Chicago July 28 through 31.
