The Midwest Princess herself, Chappell Roan, may have made history of having the largest crowd in Lollapalooza history.
The eccentric performer has recently started making waves with her almost unheard-of skyrocket into popularity.
The rising star’s impressive success is shown as of March 2023 she sat with around 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify compared to her current number of 44.2 million as of August 2024.
The singer set the stage on the opening day of the recent Lollapalooza festival in Chicago’s Grant Park.
Concert organizers switched her original stage with that of the singer Kesha, putting her on one of the main stages because of her newly acquired massive audience.
As someone who witnessed her performance, seeing her roll out with her whimsical wrestler outfit really set a new standard for what a performer should be.
She kept the large crowd hyped the entire time and made sure everyone was able to participate in the fun by teaching her iconic HOT-TO-GO dance.
She performed some of her most popular hits such as “Pink Pony Club” and “Good Luck Babe” which with her catchy lyrics, had most of the crowd singing along.
Despite being in the mass of people with the heat beating down on me, I found her show to be one of the most enjoyable for the entire festival.
Her commitment to not putting on a show but rather putting on a performance for such a large crowd with so much enthusiasm helped to stabilize her already passionate fan base and gain many new ones.
Concert organizers and media outlets estimated the crowd size at around 110,000.
With this impressive feat under her belt, I am excited as to what comes next for her and the Pink Pony Club.
