Lollapalooza has been a success in Brazil since 2012, in its first edition, which occurred at Jockey Club in São Paulo. The festival always occurs during 3 days here: in 2024 it starts on Friday (March 22) and ends on Sunday (March 24), mobilizing the entire city’s public transportation system over these awaited days.
This year, the festival has three main artists that will headline their lineup: SZA, Kings of Leon and Blink-182, who have had a series of controversies involving their shows in Brazil. Along with these big industry names, some great artists will be taking over the stage in São Paulo such as Fletcher, iconic LGBT singer, Pierce the Veil, a widely known pop emo band, and a huge ‘combo’ of national rappers and funk musicians like MC Davi, TZ da Coronel, Livinho, Xamã, Oruam, MC Daniel and much more.
There are 4 stages in which the concerts will take place: Budweiser, Samsung Galaxy, Alternative and Perry’s by Johnnie Walker. The main attractions normally happen at the Budweiser-sponsored stage.

What to take with you to Lollapalooza:
Suppose you were to follow a list with all the essentials to have a great Lollapalooza experience. In that case, you should have in mind the history of the festival: rainstorms, almost 33ºC, and high-temperature variation. Knowing that and also some other factors, here is what you should bring with you:
- A raincoat: you don’t want to be soaking wet during the entire day of concerts, trust me on this one;
- Sunscreen: it is good to wear it before you go, but grab a little bottle with you just to be on the safe side, sometimes it is necessary to reapply it during the day;
- Toilet paper: you won’t be finding any at the toilets after 1 hour from the beginning of the festival, so take it from home with you;
- Sanitizer: as you probably won’t find any toilet paper, you won’t probably find soap to wash your hands;
- Open water bottle (without cap): it is quite interesting to bring a bottle with you as there are multiple water stations distributed all over the Interlagos racetrack.
