That one band you heard of that one time? They’re totally playing Lollapalooza this year.

Such is the immediate takeaway from the Lollapalooza 2019 lineup reveal, topped by Ariana Grande, Childish Gambino, Tame Impala—stop me if you’ve heard this one before, because yes: those are all three of Coachella’s 2019 headliners wrapped up in a nice Midwestern package.

Just looking at the lineup poster is a bit of an overwhelming experience. The Strokes, Twenty One Pilots, Flume, J Balvin, Kacey Musgraves, Gary Clark Jr., 21 Savage, Maggie Rogers, Death Cab for Cutie, H.E.R.—by the time you get fourteen lines down, you’ll discover that no less than NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal, billed by his DJ name “Diesel,” will be performing at the fest as well.

Needless to say, there’s something for pretty much everyone at Lollapalooza 2019, scheduled for the weekend of August 1-4. We’re still digging through the lineup for our favorites. Check out the poster below and see what you think.
