TYLER, the Creator has abruptly pulled out of his headlining gigs at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands music festivals, infuriating fans at the sudden cancellation.
The singer, who was scheduled to headline the festivals, shared the news on X, formerly Twitter, and explained why he had to back out.
“I hate saying this but i have to cancel lollapalooza and outside lands,” Tyler revealed.
“I made a commitment that i can no longer keep, and that bums me out knowing how excited folks were. that is not sexy at all. please please forgive me or call me names when you see me in person. love,” he concluded.
Tyler shared the same message on his Instagram Stories on Thursday morning.
The artist’s slot at Lollapalooza was filled by Megan Thee Stallion and he was replaced by Sabrina Carpenter for Outside Lands.
Tyler’s website hasn’t been updated to reflect the cancellations.
Fans immediately voiced their frustrations about Tyler no longer performing at either festival, with some demanding refunds.
“Why did you cancel on your fans at lollapalooza?? We would at least like to know. You were the only reason me friends and I were going on Thursday… to say we’re disappointed and upset, is an understatement…
“@lollapalooza GIVE ME A REFUND IMMEDIATELY FOR THURSDAY. I AM NOT INTERESTED WITHOUT Tyler . THIS IS THE WORST LINEUP IN YEARS AND YOU JUST MADE IT WORSE. give me a refund RIGHT NOW, or let people switch from Thursday,” one upset fan ranted on X.
The full lineup for Lollapalooza was released mid-March, with the four-day festival kicking off in Chicago, Illinois on April 1, 2024.
Outside Lands dropped their three-day lineups in May, and will take place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park the week after.
Other headliners for Lollapalooza include SZA, Blink-182, Hozier, and Shrillex, while main acts performing at Outside Lands are Post Malone, The Killers, Reneé Rapp, and Victoria Monét.
In April, Tyler appeared in good spirits when he hit the stage at Coachella 2024 in Indio, California.
