LollaPalooza Moved Chappel Roan To Mainstage, And Downgrade Kesha To Her Slot Instead

The bridge on “Good Luck, Babe!” is iconic enough on its own. There’s not one bad song (imo) on The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

I think Kesha would be happy either way, she has been so humble about this reset and restart of her career, she’s very aware she’s not as big as she used to be back in a day

Kesha's also a fan of Chappell's and posted on her Twitter that she's excited to play Lollapalooza and see Chappell Roan. 

I just wish they both could play the mainstage...both are Queens

Absolutely no shade to Kesha whom I'll always love, but this makes perfect sense. The Governor's Ball crowd was so big that that alone would likely be enough to precipitate this decision, but Chappell's been drawing crowds that have exceeded expectations everywhere she's performed recently. 

On reddit there are photographs of a freaking GAS STATION across the street from her concert last night PACKED with people listening to snatches of the sound from the actual concert!!

Do you think the artists not on the big stage get as much attention from the public and the media as those on the big stage? 

At lollapalooza, people are mainly at a stage because either a) they want to see that artist, or b) they are standing there all day to save their spot to see someone later. 
 

It looks like the artists performing after Chappel where Kesha was originally going to play are Labrinth and Megan Thee Stallion. May have given Kesha some exposure, but I'm not sure it would have been career changing exposure for her. Benson Boone is playing after Kesha's new stage, which tbh is probably closer in genre. 

Also, Chappel and Kesha's stages are on the same field and they plan the sets so that the times alternate, because you can hear the other stage while waiting at the other stage. It looks like after Chappel, there isn't really any other big pop names for the night. So most pop fans I imagine would be going directly to Kesha's stage right across the field after Chappel is done. I think it will all work out tbh

There really isnt. I havent felt this way about an album since The Fame Monster which also has no skips.

HMHAS is a close second this year.

She's part of the trend of just making pop music fun again. And like her music or not, lord knows pop music needed some euphoria
