j-hope makes history, becoming the first South Korean artist to headline a main stage at Lollapalooza, a major U.S. music festival!
The four-day festival took place in Chicagoβs Grant Park from July 28-31. j-hope closed out the festival on July 31 with a memorable performance that included songs from his recently released first solo album, Jack in the Box. His setlist included a total of 20 tracks. View the Hobipalooza setlist here.
βThe prep work included deep dives into perfecting his live delivery of the first two singles (βMoreβ and βArsonβ) from his first solo album, Jack in the Box, and theyβre the songs he says heβs most excited to perform for the first time. βThey are also songs that have styles that I havenβt performed before,β he explains. βSo I practiced a lot because they are kind of difficult songs to do live.ββ
