LOLLAPALOOZA PARIS 2025: AN AWAITED COMEBACK IN THE GLOBAL FESTIVAL CIRCUIT
Lollapalooza Paris has revealed its full line-up for the upcoming edition, where exciting presentations of American rising artists are being mixed with established European figures. In an environment fueled by the power of unity through culture, we are going to witness magic through the days 10th, 11th and 12th of July.
Opening the festival with fresh and captivating energy we have an arrangement of artists that are going to establish the level that this edition contains. From the international alternative offerings like Allie X and Lola Young performances to upcoming artists like Shaboozey with his debut album “Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going”, where he explore country as black person, and Benson Boone with his sophomore album “American Heart”, after conquering millions of people with “Ghost Town”, back in 2021. However, the most exciting moment of the day is going to be the Olivia Rodrigo performance where we expect to have fun and how she translates to a visual experience, the transition period that her music is suffering after her two massive albums, “SOUR” and “GUTS”. Counting the days to scream “drivers license” again, after seeing her at a sold out Accor Arena in June 2024.
On the 11th, we are going to enjoy the introspective lyrics of FINNEAS, who is going to present his album “For Cryin’ Out Loud!”, live in France for the first time. We would like to hear “Till Forever Falls Apart”, “Let’s Fall in Love for the Night” and “Break My Heart Again”, singles that have defined his career in music over the years. Alongside, we are expecting to hear some songs from his new band The Favors. On the other side, we are going to have the possibility to experience EARTHGANG’s album “PERFECT FANTASY” and Jacob Collier’s “Djesse” series in real life; while Gordo, Macklemore and David Guetta entertain us with their latest singles. Without forgetting that Feid is representing the Latin community, with one of his few shows in Europe, presenting his latest album “”FERXXO VOL X: Sagrado” and the array of hits that he has in his catalogue. A day full of emotions and different genres, passing from pop and melancholic songs to reggaeton and electronic shows.
Last day is going to be an energizing experience. Jusin Timberlake is presenting his “Everything I Thought It Was” album that we expect to be one of the religious experiences that only pop music can bring to people, alongside hits like “Mirrors”, “Rock Your Body” or “CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!”. On the other hand, we could find vibrant performances by CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, RAYE and Nathy Peluso. FLO would present “Access All Areas” representing British R&B, while Tems would offer us a mix of Afrobeats, R&B, and alternative sounds with her new album “Born in the Wild”. Afterwards, IVE are presenting her latest project “IVE EMPATHY”, a K-Pop fantasy in the land of the French, and Saint Levant will present his “Love Letters” Tour, a trilingual artist that is bringing a fusion of Arabic, French, and English to the international pop sphere.
The festival was cancelled last year, due to the Paris Olympics, allowing an empty space in the summer calendar for music lovers in France. Due to that, the last reference that we have from the festival is the 2023 edition where Rosalia closed her MOTOMAMI era with an emotional and powerful performance, so it is a tough one to get over. But we cannot wait to enjoy the global spirit that this festival offers us again this edition, while enjoying our favourite music in the middle of the summer. Paris, see you soon!his festival offers us, while enjoying our favourite music in the middle of the summer. Paris, see you soon!
