O Lollapalooza Brazil announced three new cancellations in this year's edition of the festival. Jaden, Rina Sawayama It is Dove Cameron leave the line-up and will be replaced by singer Jessie Reyez and band Greta Van Fleet.

This year's Lolla had already announced, in January, the cancellation of the band Paramore one of the most anticipated by Brazilian fans and headliner of the festival — the band Kings of Leon came in as a replacement.

The four attractions canceled their participation this year for “personal reasons”.

O Lollapalooza takes place March 22, 23 and 24, 2024, at the Autódromo de Interlagos in the south zone of São Paulo.

However, this is not the first time that Lolla has announced multiple cancellations in a single year. On the contrary, the The 2023 edition of the festival was marked by six canceled attractions — including two of the headliners, Blink-182 and Drake.

The situation has already become a joke on social media among fans, who joke about the “flexibility” of the contract that allows so many cancellations almost every year and are also placing their bets on the next names to announce their departure from the line-up.

Last year's edition of the festival marked six cancellations in total. The most traumatic for fans were certainly the two headliners: the band Blink 182 (who is still confirmed to perform in the 2024 edition, although fans fear a second cancellation) and the Canadian rapper Drake.

Blink 182 canceled their participation in the festival a few weeks before the event, after drummer Travis Barker injured his finger. The band never came to Brazil, and not only was it one of the most anticipated attractions by fans last year, with tickets sold out for the day of its performance, as it continues to be this year.

The cancellation of Drake It took fans by surprise, many were already on their way to the Autódromo to see the rapper when they received the news, hours before his performance. The justification was that the singer was “without members of his sound and production team, essential for the show”.

However, a video of Drake enjoying the night in a club and strip club in Miami, United States, in the early hours of the day of his performance in São Paulo, circulated online, raising doubts about what really happened.

In addition to the two headliners, Lolla 2023 also saw the cancellation of four other attractions: willow (due to “unforeseen circumstances”), Omar Apollo (who canceled after being asked to open for SZA's tour), Dominic Fike It is 100 Gecs (both for no reason given).

The 2022 edition of the festival — the first since the pause due to the pandemic — was marked by a great tragedy: the death of Taylor Hawkins drummer of Foo Fighters one day before the band's performance at Lollapalooza in São Paulo.

Taylor Hawkins, member of the band Foo Fighters, died, according to a statement from the band this Saturday (26);  the cause was not disclosed

Because of this, the band canceled their entire tour of South America. A show in honor of Hawkins was led by rapper Emicida and the band Planet Hemp at the festival.

In addition to the tragedy involving the band, the 2022 edition also saw the cancellation of Jane's Addiction , King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard (due to unforeseen circumstances related to Covid-19, according to the festival announcement) and Phoebe Bridgers (due to a “last minute unforeseen event”, without further explanation).
