Here’s a recap of everything that went down during Day 1 of Lollapalooza!
One thing that Lorde, 20, Liam Gallagher, 44, and Muse ‘s Matt Bellamy have in common? They were all totally “gutted” that their Lollapalooza performances didn’ t go as planned.
“F*cks sake. i am so gutted guys i don’ t know what to tell you, ” Lorde, 20, wrote on Twitter Aug. 3 after her Lollapalooza set was cancelled after 20 minutes due to emergency weather. “They’ ve told us we can’ t play. i had the most spectacular show planned for you and i PROMISE i will come back to play it as soon as i can, ” she added. Muse ‘s performance was also cut, and the area was evacuated. Such a bummer!
Liam Gallagher also ended his set after three songs, except that it had nothing to do with weather. “After playing a handful of songs, Liam Gallagher cuts short his scheduled hour-long set after 20 minutes, ” the Chicago Tribune observed in real time. “He abruptly exits with his band and no announcement is made as roadies begin dismantling the gear.” Awkward. (He later tweeted that a “difficult gig” had left him unable to sing.)
The cherry on top of the dramatic evening was, of course, evacuation of the area. “Grant Park is being evacuated due to weather, ” the festival tweeted . “Please make your way to the nearest exit.” Aw, man. hopefully tonight (Aug. 4) will go more smoothly, and you can view a live stream of the festival here.
