J-Hope will be fulfilling Doja Cat’s headlining role. Doja Cat had originally been scheduled to close the festival but had to pull out of the event due to her recovery from tonsil surgery. The surgery also forced her to pull out from being a special guest at The Weeknd’s After Hours til Dawn tour.
Although BTS is known for its accomplishments as a group, J-Hope has also been active in his solo career. His first solo album Hope World was released in 2018 and his single Chicken Noodle Soup in 2019. Fans are excited to see his first official stage appearance as a solo artist and make history as the first K-pop artist to take the main stage at Lollapalooza.
The tickets for Lollapalooza start at $125 and can be purchased here.
