After Coachella, Ariana Grande to reportedly headline Lollapalooza 2019 in Chicago

Ariana Grande will reportedly headline Lollapalooza 2019 in Chicago. The official line up is usually announced by the third week of March, so the confirmation of ’thank u, next’ singer’s appearance at the music festival is a few months away, reports Variety .

The news comes after she was announced as one of Coachella’s headliners along with Childish Gambino and Tame Impala. She had also tweeted about being part of the highly-anticipated event: “humbled and excited as all hell @coachella thank u”

Sources told the publication that the festival had been in talks with the singer’s camp for months.

Grande will also begin her Sweetener world tour, her third in the past four years, starting from Times Union Center in Albany, New York on 18 March, according to Us Weekly.  She has also rescheduled some dates of her tour due to her Coachella performance.

Grande had recently teased the release of her new single ‘7 Rings’ on social media. The song is scheduled to release on 18 January.

Lollapalooza will take place at Chicago’s Grant Park from 1 to 4 August, says Variety. Last year’s edition was headlined by The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Jack White, Arctic Monkeys and Travis Scott. Other artists who performed were Khalid, Tyler the Creator, Zedd, Billie Eilish, among others.
