As weekend passes went on sale this morning, Lollapalooza fans were given a sneak peak to the festival’s lineup reveal, as the Lolla Train made its stops through the L in downtown Chicago. With the Chicago festival encouraging fans to take the train and listen for lineup hints, the Lollapalooza themed L-train performed tracks from a number of artists, including Bebe Rexha, Lil Pump, Nav and more, including one huge headliner.
Unless Lollapalooza is playing a cruel joke on fans, it appears that Bruno Mars will be one of the festival’s headliners, as the train played Bruno’s single, ’24k Magic’. This would add up, because Chicago was noticeably left out on Bruno Mar’s upcoming tour, leading many to speculate a Lollapalooza performance.
Stay tuned as the full Lollapalooza lineup is revealed this week.
Less than a year after singer Camila Cabello left the group to pursue a solo career, the remaining four members of Fifth Harmony have announced that they will be taking an indefinite hiatus to pursue solo careers of their own.
Oddly similar to the break-up/hiatus of One Direction, Fifth Harmony formed via the televised singing competition, X Factor, and after years of success a member (Malik/Cabello) decided to branch off to pursue their dreams of a solo artist, only for the rest of the group to do the same months later. Fifth Harmony seemed very bitter towards Cabello’s departure and success, so it’s very interesting that the rest of the members decided to do the same, not even a year later.
In a statement to fans, the group explains that they are taking a breaking to find their footing as individuals. The group still does have a number of performances scheduled for the rest of the year, and at this point, they still plan to make the performances.
The 6 God has blessed the Rihanna-assisted N.E.R.D. comeback single, by jumping on the official remix of ‘Lemon’. Now with Drake on the record, the addictive single is even that much better, and it reminds us of how well Drake and Rihanna fit together on a track.
Drake is still enjoying the mega success of his song ‘God’s Plan’, he’s rumoredly working with Kanye West on a potential joint album, and now a new song with N.E.R.D., needless to say Drake is on top of the world right now.
After a brief hiatus, Lil Dicky dropped the new music video and single for his forthcoming album. Co-starring/featuring singer Chris Brown, and paying homage to the 2003 Lindsay Lohan film, ‘Freaky Friday’ shows what would happen if Chris Brown and Lil Dicky magically switched bodies.
And if a feature from C. Breezy wasn’t enough, the video/track also features cameos from Kendall Jenner and Ed Sheeran, as well as an appearance from Netflix‘s “American Vandall” star, Jimmy Tatro.

Oakland native and Hip-hop Heavyweight G-Eazy is a frequent visitor and Chicago favorite, who may even claim Chicago as a second home. It’s hard to disagree after G-Eazy delivered yet another sold-out show at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom this weekend.
Returning to the historic venue for the third time, this time for his new critically acclaimed, The Beautiful and Damned Tour, Friday night was maybe his best visit to the Windy City yet.
G-Eazy performed from his F. Scott Fitzgerald inspired album the Beautiful and Damned. He also threw it back with hits from his previous works, like These Things Happen and When It’s Dark Out. Records like ‘Me, Myself and I’, ‘I Mean It’, and his last song of the night ‘No Limit’ made G-Eazy’s set an almost perfect routine of non-stop thrills and a seamless flow of hits. Seeing G-Eazy on stage, one can wonder just how big the Oakland native can become.
If you missed G-Eazy’s set, no worries! He is set to return for a meet and greet/signing back in Chicago for his personal brand of whiskey, Stillhouse. For more information on his next visit click here.
Check-in to a P!nk concert on Facebook and get ready for a stampede of comments and text messages of jealousy. And lucky for the city of Chicago, ensuing jealousy was curbed as P!nk delivered not one, but two, performances at the United Center this weekend (her 2nd and 3rd Chicago shows of the past year), giving more fans a chance to witness her critically acclaimed performances live and in person.
A woman that needs no introduction, and a tour than needs no opener, P!nk got the party started on Saturday night in Chicago, of course with her 2001 Grammy-nominated hit, ‘Get The Party Started’. And what better way, than in total P!nk fashion, high flying throughout the sold-out arena, hanging from a giant chandelier. With just one song, the performance was more entertaining than any other show that the United Center had seen in 2018.
From there on out, the hits, entertainment and energy levels never stopped for the Beautiful Trauma Tour. Through the 21-tracks that P!nk performed throughout the night, the ‘Raise Your Glass’ singer moved left-to-right, up-and-down, and all around her heart-shaped stage (complete with cat-walks and two wild fan pits) to make sure that no one in the audience felt left out and everyone got to enjoy their favorite P!nk record.
What was maybe most impressive is the different type of risks P!nk took throughout the night. With the Cirque Du Soleil type moves that she pulls off in the middle of her tracks, P!nk would easily get a pass for lip synching. Yet P!nk’s vocals were real and on-point for the entire night. It’s unrealistic to put on that much of a physically demanding show and still sound great, and yet she manages to do it.
The other major risk P!nk takes on her tour is a literal one, as she essentially risks her life with the acrobatics. At a point, P!nk was raised above her fans, hanging from her back-up dancer with no noticeable safety harness. While other pop artists in her shoes only float throughout arenas with slow-moving platforms, even they have safety belts attached, just in case all goes wrong. How P!nk finds someone to insure her tour is beyond me, but irregardless her show is definitely high-risk high-reward, and her audience is the beneficiary.
And although most of P!nk’s singles are very fun and upbeat, the Pennsylvania singer took a moment on stage to get serious and share a conversation she has with her 6-year-old daughter. After her daughter had been teased by children over her appearance, and after P!nk had to contemplate whether she was allow to kick a child’s a**, the singer told her daughter that despite the fact that many people feel the need to critique P!nk’s appearance and body, she still stands confident and sells out arenas throughout the world. And the United Center and all fans in attendance this weekend can obviously attest to that.
Too often, high production in a tour can come off as gimmicky and borderline desperate, but not in this case. The reason for P!nk’s elaborate and immensely entertaining performance is, if not for no other reason, to truly give back to her fans and ensure that they have the best night possible.
If you haven’t seen P!nk live, chances are you know someone who has and who has told you that you need to as well. Take their advice, because P!nk’s Beautiful Trauma Tour is like none other.
