If
you haven’t managed to get the tickets for this year’s Lollapalooza, but still
want to experience this iconic festival, we’ve got some good news for you. YouTube
bosses just announced they’ll be live-streaming Lollapalooza this year.
The live stream of Coachella’s first weekend proved to be a huge success for this video sharing platform. It scored 82 million live views, and we can’t wait to see if YouTube will manage to replicate this success with Lollapalooza.
“After
nine years of success in the desert, we’re doubling down on music festivals,
starting with a new two-year partnership to live stream Lollapalooza this
August. In addition to the curated live stream over the four-day festival, for
the first time ever, fans will get additional custom content that gives them
unique access to the festivals’ artists,” reads YouTube’s official statement.
This
year’s Lollapalooza will take place at Chicago’s Grant Park from August 1-4,
and it will see Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino and Twenty One Pilots
headlining the event.
