Lollapalooza 2023 day 4 pics & video (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey, Joey Bada$$, more)

If you start with a dramatic entrance, you better have an equally headline-worthy exit. Which, of course, LDR had. Her festival-closing set matched the glamour and classic L.A. style of her music — at one point her dancers moved around her holding those old foil reflectors people used to use to get tan — as Del Rey sang the the Norman Fucking Rockwell track “Hope Is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have – But I Have It” to end her show. In a bit of musical theater, Del Rey swooned toward one handsome man, before tearing herself away and then falling into the arms of another, who picked her up and swung her in circles. Then, two men pushed-and-pulled her, sandwiching the singer between them until she seemed exhausted by the exertion of it all and lay down on her aforementioned long wedding dress train and was dragged slowly off the stage as she softly sang, “Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have/ But I have it/ Yeah, I have it.” [Billboard]

The 2023 edition of Lollapalooza wrapped up on Sunday (8/6) at Chicago’s Grant Park with headlining sets from Lana Del Rey and Red Hot Chili Peppers. See video from both below.

Day four at Lollapalooza also featured Joey Bada$$ (who brought out Chance the Rapper for “No Problem” and “The Highs & The Lows”), Alvvays (who were last minute replacements for Gabriels), Lil Yachty, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, DEHD, Rina Sawayama, Magdalena Bay, Holly Humberstone, and more.
