Review: Doechii delivers a hip hop master class at Lollapalooza
No one is having a better year than Doechii. The Florida rapper, 'The Swamp Rula,' released her critically-acclaimed mixtape 'Alligator Bites Never Heal' in August 2024 and hasn't hit the brakes since, taking home the Grammy for best rap album — only the second woman to do so— as well as gracing runways in New York and Paris and putting on some of the most dynamic live performances on and off screen. Bringing us to her Saturday night Lollapalooza set on the T-Mobile stage. With respect to Rüfüs Du Sol, Doechii should've headlined. Welcoming thousands to Doechii's School of Hip Hop, complete with a giant, funhouse-style boombox center stage, she rapped, writhed, and twerked circles around a troupe of dancers (delivering choreography that would make the great, ballroom pioneer Willi Ninja proud) and delivered lessons in bars, flow, genre, scratching and word play for just under an hour. Teasing her own headlining 'Live From the Swamp Tour' by the end, she left everyone wanting more. Doechii is one of a kind. With a looming, unbodied voice ringing out to encourage her ascent throughout her performance, Doechii, grounded by DJ Miss Milan, wielded the power of mania, tension, drama, and queer joy like a spear, piercing any posturing or pretension to free herself and her onstage classmates/dancers from the tyranny of self-doubt and limitations. One of the most versatile vocalists in today's mainstream, she oscillated seamlessly from growled, ruthless rhyme ('Nissan Altima,' 'Nosebleeds,' 'Catfish') and full-throated screams to smooth melodies and big crescendos, like on 'Anxiety.' For the house-flecked 'Alter Ego' — during which she referenced her infamous Met Gala 'umbrella incident' during her outfit change — she welcomed former City Girl member JT to the stage after hinting at a special guest in the days leading up to her Lolla debut. Both women were beaming from the big screens and the fields of the south end of Grant Park were awash in flailing hands and fans snapping in the air. Black girl magic, indeed. With her signature extra-long braids and head-to-toe DSquared2 custom outfits, Doechii covered every inch of that stage bathed in adulation. Classic hip hop and pop samples were woven into interludes throughout her set, including 'Pull Over' by Trina, Doug E. Fresh's 'La Di Da Di' and Beyonce's 'America Has a Problem.' Before delivering her megahit 'Denial is a River,' the unbodied voice — taking a kinder tone— spoke about how every master of something starts as a student. That the importance and interconnection of studying and honoring what you're choosing to dedicate yourself to is just as important as the final result. Then she appeared again. An icon born — the self-proclaimed 'hip hop Madonna,' 'trap Grace Jones,' making all the hard work look effortless, and so damn fun.

Review: Olivia Rodrigo delivers her own kind of girl-power message at Lollapalooza
There's that great line from the movie 'Jennifer's Body' from Amanda Seyfried's character: 'Hell is a teenage girl.' If the thousands of young girls and women, femmes and thems packed into the south end of Grant Park for Olivia Rodrigo's headlining set Friday night on the T-Mobile stage at Lollapalooza were any proof, hell is also 20-somethings, 30- and 40-somethings. That's intended as a compliment — look at the subject material we're dealing with when it comes to relationships these days (see terms like 'heterofatalism'). And sure, heartbreak is universal, but to borrow another phrase: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Olivia Rodrigo is currently one of its loudest voices (again, a compliment). For about an hour and 20 minutes, it was game on — from her opener 'Obsessed' to grand finale 'Get Him Back.' Rodrigo tackled her task head-first, backed by a dizzyingly talented, all-female band and hyper-stylish visuals — with a lot of rage, but more importantly, fierce hope. In the hours leading up to her performance, it was clear that while Friday festival co-headliners Korn would undoubtedly have a sizable audience at the Bud Light stage on the north end of the park, she was the sight to see. 'She's a student of indie rock, alt rock, but she is pop. So she's bringing that singer-songwriter sensibility with that classic, Lollapalooza rock act, which is really fun,' says concertgoer Kelly Wedlake, who 'came out of Lolla retirement' for Rodrigo after not attending for six years. 'Perfect example, our uncle is here to see her. He's in his 60s, and he brought our 17-year-old cousin, but he's like 'No, she's cool. She's a rock goddess, she leans into that piece of it.' She's so good.' Wedlake and sister Maggie argued that the appeal of Rodrigo and other major pop girlies with top-billing at this year's festival are proof of not only increased buying power and influence of non-males in entertainment, but also the undeniable impact of the current political climate. (Rodrigo has been a strong advocate for reproductive health and justice, as well as mental health resources on and off the road). 'The political piece of it can't be missed,' added Maggie Wedlake. 'As much as people don't want to say it.' Rodrigo's music, set to the type of power pop-punk popularized by Avril Lavigne and Paramore (and before them Hole and Bikini Kill, and before them The Go-Go's and The Runaways), has caught fire across two albums now — 2021's 'Sour' and 2023's 'Guts.' At 22, she's the second youngest artist to ever headline Lollapalooza (second only to Billie Eilish in 2023, who was just 20), but arguably the most resonant and yes, reverent to what Lollapalooza has meant to alternative music history. She brought out Weezer for two songs (to the astonishment of nearby dads standing with their young daughters in tow) after sharing that the band's show had been her first concert. While she has enough panache — and enough hits to not need the surprise guests — she's been doing it on the festival circuit all summer long. And truthfully, if you're going to pick two Weezer songs to hear unexpectedly, they're going to be 'Buddy Holly' and 'Say It Ain't So.' Giving her audience the full arena tour treatment, complete with extended band jams interludes, a fair amount of pyro and an outfit change, Rodrigo took her time, including through three ballads ('Vampire,' 'Driver's License' and 'Traitor') in a row. At least she knows that if you're going to sit at a piano for an extended period, there better be a cathartic tension release in the form of crashing drums and guitar somewhere mixed in. Shared vulnerability and righteous anger can spark joy, and the voices carrying the lyrics of songs including 'All-American Bitch,' 'Pretty Isn't Pretty,' and 'Good 4 U,' pogoing nonstop were bursting with both. It made this slightly jaded, female rock writer all emotional — in the way only a special music moment 2025: What to know about the 4-day music festival at Grant Park
