Chappell Roan Plays Gigantic Lollapalooza Set, Gets Covered By Blink-182 & Jonas Brothers

The stratospheric ascent of Chappell Roan is one of the biggest pop stories of 2024, even if Roan herself seems a little taken aback by it all. This past weekend, Roan played another festival where she was booked as a midcarder but greeted as a headliner. At Chicago's Lollapalooza fest, Roan played in an unenviable spot -- Thursday, mid-afternoon -- but drew a crowd that looked bigger than any that came through for the festival's actual headliners. “Chappell’s performance was the biggest daytime set we’ve ever seen," a rep for the fest tells CNN.

Bigger festivals like Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza have been forced to move Chappell Roan to bigger stages so that they can accommodate the crowds that show up early to see her. At Lollapalooza, that meant Roan switching stages with Kesha, who reportedly OK'ed the change. Roan gave another ultra-theatrical performance, coming out in a lucha libre-inspired costume and performing on a stage full of weightlifting bodybuilders. The images of that set are really something to behold.
