Doechii Teases She's ‘Bringing a Guest' to Her Lollapalooza Set
Doechii is getting ready to bring the swamp to Chicago, but according to the rapper, she's also planning on bringing up a special guest. In a post on X on Thursday (July 31), the Swamp Princess teased that she will be sharing the stage with a famous face this weekend. Doechii is slated to play the Illinois festival on Saturday (Aug. 2), taking the T-Mobile stage at 6:55 p.m. ahead of headliners Rufus du Sol.

'who should it be.' Fans will probably have to wait until showtime to find out who's joining Doechii on stage, but dozens of musicians are set to converge on the Windy City for the weekend, meaning it could be any one of them. For what it's worth, the Grammy winner has previously collaborated with Tyler, the Creator — who will play a headlining set on Thursday (July 31), two days before Doechii's Saturday performance (Aug. 2) — on Chromakopia track 'Balloon.' Doechii is currently still riding the high of a career-making year, with the star launching to global fame with the runaway success of mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal. The LP won best rap album at the 2025 Grammys, a couple of months after which she scored her first-ever top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with 'Anxiety,' which reached No. 9 on the chart. The musician was also honored as Billboard's Woman of the Year at the Women in Music Awards earlier this year. 'I cannot believe it was just two years ago I stood on this stage right here and accepted the Billboard Rising Star Award,' she said while accepting the prize in March. 'I had literally performed so hard I danced my shoes off and had to hop up to the mic. And here I am. That moment reflects how I approach my career – always go full out, always go hard and always be fab.' Lollapalooza will take place across four days in Chicago's Grant Park from Thursday (July 31) to Sunday (Aug. 3). In addition to Tyler and Rufus, the headliners will include Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter.

REVIVAL Recap: (S01E08) A Rose and a Thorn
Revival Season 1 Episode 8, 'A Rose and a Thorn,' finally centers the heartbreaking Rose Blackdeer case while addressing a very real and terrible truth about our world: that Indigenous women and girls are going missing and getting murdered at disproportionately high rates. 'A Rose and a Thorn' provides much-needed context for that case. These revelations from the past cast a new light on the present, including the person behind Rose and Em's murders: Blaine. It's a well-paced, solid outing. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Revival episode, 'Too Many Secrets' Revival, 'A Rose and a Thorn' We open with a flashback to two years before Revival Day. Em (Romy Weltman) chats with her mom, Patty (Lara Jean Chorostecki), at the local bowling alley. It's 2006, and Em is thinking about attending college. However, she worries that Papa Cypress will put his foot down and prevent her from spreading her wings. Thankfully, Patty is on her side. Meanwhile, Jesse (Brandon Oakes) and Rose (Leenah Robinson) argue about her leaving Wausau. Since her mom died, their land is in her name. If she leaves, that land will revert to the government. But Rose is hellbent on starting a new life in Chicago. 72 Hours Later, we see Rose and May (Katharine King So) spending time together. They're in love. They make a gorgeous couple. Now, the plan is for Rose to snag a place for both of them in Chicago. Then, May will join her. After this, Rose breaks into her cash supply, which is in a tackle box. We next see her sitting at a bus stop outside of town. A car pulls up, the man inside offering to give her a ride. Is this Brent? Blaine? RELATED: Revival : Co-Creators Aaron B. Koontz and Luke Boyce on Crafting 'Weird' New Series Then, Jesse storms into the sheriff's station to confront Dana (Melanie Scrofano) about Rose. She's been missing for 72 hours. Why is there zero momentum regarding her case? Dana reassures Jesse that she's doing everything she can to find Rose. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured in this screengrab: (l-r) Melanie Scrofano as Dana Cypress, Brandon Oakes as Jesse Blackdeer — (Photo by: Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Next, Brent (Mark Little) gives Dana an update. He tells her about Rose and Jesse's argument at the bowling alley. As for Rose's golden ticket to Chicago, she never got on the bus. So, Dana ventures into the cold to scope out the bus stop where mystery man picked up before — most likely — murdering Rose. She finds something in the snow that points to this missing person's case becoming a homicide. Bear Later, Dana and Brent search Jesse's house. He also offers to let them look through Rose's trailer. Dana finds the tackle box. Inside, there's a bundle of letters to someone named 'Bear' and a bear tooth necklace. Brent finds a land ownership contract in Rose's name. They ask Jesse about it. Of course, Jesse wouldn't want the government to seize control of the family land. Dana tells him that this contract is motive for murder. RELATED: Revival 's Romy Weltman on Becoming Em and Working With Melanie Scrofano After this, Dana visits Uncle Don (Ray G. Thunderchild). She reveals she knows about Rose informing the council about her intent to relocate. Rose withheld this from Jesse. Uncle Don remarks that children keep secrets from their parents all the time — it's par for the course. Dana notes that Jesse was at risk of losing the land if Rose left. Uncle Don maintains that Jesse did everything he could to protect Rose. Then, Dana catches up with Brent after he gets off the phone with his mother. She's not doing well. He adds that his little brother isn't faring well either. Dana corrects him; he has a twin brother, not a younger one. Hmm. I feel like this is going to play into the narrative somehow. You don't drop info like this unless you intend to use it. A New Suspect Brent informs Dana about the letters addressed to Bear from Rose's tackle box. She looks through them. Wayne (David James Elliott) yells at Dana in front of the station about her dithering statements to the press. He wholeheartedly believes that Jesse is guilty of murder. He urges Dana to look at the evidence. Dana's gut feeling tells her that Jesse is innocent, though. RELATED: Revival : Check Out 9 First-Look Photos From Melanie Scrofano-Led Series After this, Dana discovers something that brings a new prime suspect into the fold: Blaine (Steven Ogg). Dana questions him. He has a weak alibi for the night of Rose's abduction/murder, claiming he was in Myrtle Beach but unwilling to show Dana proof. Then, Dana asks him about his letters to Rose after noticing the bear tooth necklace circling his neck. She clocks that he's the 'Bear' with whom Rose corresponded. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured: Melanie Scrofano as Dana Cypress — (Photo by: Naomi Peters/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Blaine insists that their relationship was purely platonic. Sure, she's two decades younger, but according to him, it wasn't 'like that.' Before she can dig deeper, Dana must head back to Jesse's because there's a break in the case. Getting Away Next, Dana sees Wayne escort Jesse to a squad car. Brent shows her new evidence — Rose's shirt. He assumes that it must've fallen off when Jesse tried to burn the body. Dana wonders how they missed something this crucial to the investigation. At the station, Dana insists she can question Jesse solo, pushing Brent out of the room. She uncuffs Jesse's wrists. She vows to get him out of this. After all, he's innocent. However, Jesse doesn't want Dana's help anymore. RELATED: Revival : The Dead Have Rejoined the Living in Official Trailer Then, Dana notices a leak in the ceiling above her desk. She places a mug underneath it to catch the water. May storms into the station, loudly claiming that said station is corrupt. She adds that nobody cares that a Native woman was murdered, and that Jesse was wrongfully arrested for it. Dana reassures May that she's doing all she can to free Jesse and find Rose's killer. Suddenly, McCray (Nathan Dales) comes in with a bloody nose and various injuries. Jesse escaped while McCray was transporting him. Dana tracks down Jesse in the woods. She trains her gun on him, urging him to stop running. Jesse pleads with Dana to let him go. His daughter is gone; why not let him disappear in peace? Dana lowers her weapon as he flees. Rogers (Aryelle Morrison) informs the other officers that Jesse got away. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured in this screengrab: Melanie Scrofano as Dana Cypress — (Photo by: Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Two Months Before Revival Day We flash forward in time — two months prior to Revival Day. May questions a woman at the bowling alley who's on Brent's team. The woman remarks that they'd be celebrating a 'seven-year run' if Brent hadn't missed the championship two years ago. May asks if it was unusual for Brent to miss a game. Sure enough, it was. She learns that the championships are at the same time every year: the third week in November. RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 May informs Uncle Don about her interview findings. The bowling championship two years ago was on November 17, one night before Brent found Rose's shirt as evidence against Jesse. Additionally, Jesse was at a council meeting that night. Uncle Don remarks that someone saw an officer near his home, too, but didn't register the person as Brent. May asserts that Brent framed Jesse for murder. He planted proof — the shirt — in Jesse's house. May asks Uncle Don for Jesse's location. She tracks him down in Thunder Bay, Ontario, working under the name Justin. May tells Jesse that she's there for Rose. She adds that she loved Rose. They were going to move to Chicago together. Then, she reveals that Brent framed him and most likely murdered Rose. On Revival Day On Revival Day, Jesse sits in his truck outside the bowling alley in Wausau. He watches from afar as Brent emerges, celebrating a victory. Before he can act, though, Brent sneaks behind him and shoots him. Now, we're back in the crematorium with May, like in the opening minutes of the pilot. She sees Jesse's body before he goes into the incinerator. Of course, we know what transpires next: Jesse becomes a Reviver. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Now, we're back in the present in the trailer with Dana, Jesse, May, Em and Uncle Don. May and Jesse provide evidence as to why they believe the person who killed Rose also murdered Em. Em tells Dana about her vision at Moore Creek — she knows her murderer did the deed there. She recalls seeing a man in an animal mask with a strange symbol on his chest. It was definitely not Aaron, although he was present. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured: Brandon Oakes as Jesse Blackdeer — (Photo by: Naomi Peters/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) May shows Dana one of Rose's earrings, which was at Moore Creek. She and Jesse also found a bottle of Em's prescription medication at the same location. Dana admits she found a text between Brent and Aaron around the time Rose went missing. Said text revealed the model of a car. As it turns out, May knows the exact model and who it belongs to. The Real Killer Also, the USB Jesse took from Aaron's house had a text file on it with that vehicle model. Dana makes the connection that the car came from Blaine's towing lot. Of course, Em recalls Blaine on the bridge with her on the night she died, and he corresponded quite frequently with Rose. It appears he killed them both. RELATED: 10 Predictions for The Ark Season 3 Jesse grabs his gun and heads for Blaine's place. Dana and Uncle Don attempt to stop him. She wants to officially file a warrant for arrest and take Blaine in herself. However, Jesse has vengeance on the brain. He departs. After this, May reads some of Em's poetry aloud as Jesse sneaks into Blaine's towing establishment. He finds Blaine asleep in a recliner. However, before Jesse can deliver the killing blow, he hears Blaine's 'angel.' Well, actually, it's the same alien that materialized outside the Check brothers' warehouse in episode six. Jesse follows the extraterrestrial creature to the exact car used to kidnap Rose. In the trunk is her corpse, wrapped in a blanket. Jesse starts crying. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured: Romy Weltman as Martha 'Em' Cypress — (Photo by: Naomi Peters/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) An Angel Brought Home Meanwhile, Em offers May her condolences regarding Rose. May asks Em if she's ever loved someone romantically. One person springs to mind for Em. Inside the trailer, Em calls Rhodey (Kaleb Horn), who, surprisingly, answers. He's sitting in his van. Em claims she's been trying to contact him for days. Rhodey explains that he escaped. He warns her that the CDC in Wausau has drugs to incapacitate Revivers, so she must exercise caution. RELATED: Read our Wynonna Earp recaps Rhodey adds that he's skipping town. Em reveals she can't join him yet because she and Dana are so close to solving her murder. Rhodey asks if they can at least meet to say goodbye. Em gives him a location. Elsewhere, Tyler (Luca Villacis) shakes Blaine awake to inform him that their 'angel' is gone. Blaine goes into panic mode. Later, Dana asks Uncle Don if he's seen Em. Then, she sets out to search for her younger sister. After this, Jesse returns with Rose's body. May is overcome with emotion. We flashback to Rose's kidnapping. This time, we see Aaron (Gianpaolo Venuta) knock her unconscious and put her in the passenger seat of the vehicle his assistant rented for him. He calls, presumably, Blaine. REVIVAL — 'A Rose and a Thorn' Season 1 Episode 8 — Pictured: Katharine King So as May Tao — (Photo by: Naomi Peters/Lavivier Productions/SYFY) Closure Jesse, May and Uncle Don host a burial for Rose. Then, he hears the alien again. Jesse follows the sound. He tells the creature he's ready to go. After all, Rose has been found. He has closure. The extraterrestrial reaches out to touch Jesse's hand. They vanish together. RELATED: Read our Revival recaps Em and Rhodey reunite in the woods. They share a kiss. Then, Rhodey apologizes profusely to Em as a dart pierces the skin of her neck. She falls to the ground, immobilized, as General Cale's soldiers surround her. Uh-oh.
