International Fan Disappointed by Lollapalooza Chicago Experience, Sparks Debate on Festival Standards

A recent video shared by Brazilian content creator Karen Cesar has sparked a discussion about the Lollapalooza experience, particularly contrasting the Chicago festival with its international editions. Cesar, who traveled from Brazil to attend Lollapalooza Chicago, expressed significant disappointment with the setup for artist ROLE MODEL's performance. "Flew all the way from Brazil to see ROLE MODEL at Lollapalooza Chicago and couldn't see a thing," Cesar stated in her video, adding, "Worst stage ever. No big screen, packed, and in some spots you couldn't even hear anything." This sentiment resonated with many viewers, particularly those familiar with other Lollapalooza events. Comments on the video highlighted a perceived difference in infrastructure. One user noted, "people in the comments just don’t know how good lollapalooza in brazil is and it shows ✨ it would at least have a screen and no artists play in a stage this small." Another added, "If someone from Brazil is saying this then it was definitely bad. People are acting like you’re used to zero crowds but it’s actually the opposite!" The discussion also touched upon Lollapalooza's global presence, with a commenter pointing out, "Ppl thinking Lolla is a local thing while the brand has at least 6 international editions (France, Germany, India, Argentina, Brasil and Chile), one better than the other 😂." The incident raises questions about the consistency of festival experiences across different locations and the expectations of international attendees.
