When Lollapalooza started in 1991, it was conceived by Perry Ferrel who wanted to do something special for his band, Jane’s Addiction, farewell tour. The lineup was diverse and non-mainstream, and it toured around the United States for two months. In the 31 years since its beginning, Lollapalooza is now a four-day extravaganza in Grant Park in Chicago, and the lineup is filled with mainstream acts as well as up-and-comers looking to make names for themselves.

On Sunday, July 31, history was made as BTS’ J-Hope became the first Korean solo artist to headline a main stage at a US festival. An organizer noted that J-Hope sold more tickets to the Lollapalooza festival than any other artist in its history.

With BTS taking an extended break, J-Hope is the first artist from the crew to go solo with hits like ‘More’ and ‘Arson.’ At Lollapalooza, J-Hope played these two songs and 21 others to throngs of fans from the BTS Army. He was even joined on stage by Becky G to cover ‘Chicken Noodle Dance.’
