Lollapalooza is the latest event to go virtual, hosting a “Lolla2020” livestream event this summer. Virtual events and livestream concerts have replaced live events during the pandemic, and it looks like the trend will be continuing. The annual Lollapalooza festival is going digital this year, rebranding as “Lolla2020” for a free four-day broadcast event on YouTube starting tomorrow. The content is expected to be a combination of “iconic” old sets and new live originals from H.E.R, Kaskade, Louis the Child, The Neighbourhood, Vic Mensa, and Yungblud, as well as special appearances from Michelle Obama, Common, and LL Cool J. This is the first all-digital version of the music fest, which is one of the last major events to cancel its in-person plans. (UPROXX, The Verge)
