PREVIEW: LOLLAPALOOZA PARIS


Moulin Rouge, croissants, red wine and N'Golo Kante, just a few of the many reasons we love France. The Eiffel Tower, one of mankinds greatest achievements, one of the most iconic pieces of art in the world, behind Blackpool Tower of course, sits in the capital's center. This summer, for one weekend only, the Eiffel Tower takes a step back as Lollapalooza takes over La Ville des Lumiere. A star studded line up will descend on Paris in less than a fortnights time for a stunning weekend in the French capital. Here's the acts we're looking forward to most.

The Killers are set to bring their confetti, swagger and huge pop anthems and we couldn't be more excited. They're well into the world tour of their 5th album, Wonderful Wonderful, and are brimming with confidence. Brandon Flowers is at the peak of his powers, whilst his wardrobe is exploding with colour. It's going to be a magical evening.

Following the Las Vegas band as Sunday evening's closer is Damon Albarn's Gorillaz. The band have a big reputation for a stunning life show and we can't wait to see what treats they have in store for us at Lollapalooza. Other big hitters making the trip to France include Welsh rockers Stereophonics, the rather infamous Catfish and the Bottlemen and Kasabian, who, after recent comments about new bands, have a lot to answer for.

Meanwhile The Rodeo is excited to check out what Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds newest material sounds like live, whilst Portugal. The Man are another band high on our priorities, bound to bring a feel good set to France. We'd be lying however if we weren't excited to see the pop princess that is Dua Lipa. Her set is bound to be full of bangers and we can't wait to sing along to them in the French sunshine. Lipa is definitely the most anticipated act of the weekend for us, having not seen her before, as all the reviews so far of her live shows have been nothing but positive.

It's a line up brimming with quality and is set to be a superb weekend. Set in the city of Paris, we expect this stellar cast to deliver a weekend to remember.
