Grant Park - Thursday August 3, 2023

Few years back, Bobby covered Billie Eilish's first Lollapalooza performance in Chicago. The accolades she has seen as an artist since has been tremendous, and this first day proved to be her day. The mentions and the sea of fans were everywhere and it was truly exciting to see a wave of festival goers show up for her. 

This did not mean that there was any shade placed on the other acts. 

While Billie was surrounded by a tight squad of her own photographers, JBTV had the opportunity to capture other incredible acts that will surely have their accolades to come as well.

The highlights of day one: Bad Neighbors, Finish Ticket, The Beaches, Lovejoy, Tomorrow X Together, Lainey Wilson, Spacey Jane, Timmy Trumpet, Portugal the Man, Dom Dolla with Nelly Furtado and Diplo were TRULY some show stoppers of day one.

The Beaches in particular were true rockstars. With their set at the JBTV Studios few years back and being at Lolla few years later, they rocked out like no other. The Beaches, along with artists like the Happy Fits are JBTV Alumni truly being appreciated this year, and we are so excited to cover them this Sunday.

The variety of performers was truly a marvel, but the one genre that deserves a spotlight this year is K-Pop, and its growing prevalence within the Lolla festival. With New Jean's set at the T-Mobile Stage, providing a real sense of the trajectory of the music industry of today. The crowd showcased their love for them as they sang along "OMG," "Attention," "Cookie," and "Hype Boy," and the love and talent was paid ten fold in return. 

Following New Jeans was Portugal the Man, and needless to say, they brought so much soul to day one. The essence of a festival that was ever Woodstock's notoriety, Portugal the Man gives to Lolla. Their songs gave a jam band air that reminded me of the feeling of watching a Jimi Hendrix performance, but then they went full swing into a euphoric cover of "In Bloom" by Nirvana. 

Then there was Dom Dolla x Nelly Furtado with her first comeback in over 5 years. This was a collab made in heaven. "Eat Your Man" brought a club pulsing mix to an audience who with "Maneater" equally were in the zone. She was hands down the least expected and greatest surprise of Lolla thus far, showing what surprises are in store for festival goers. If she is the surprise of day one, we are truly in for an incredible weekend.

Until tomorrow, Fiza Javid - JBTV Music Television
