According to the organizers, “We regret to inform you that Blink-182 will not be able to perform at Lollapalooza 2023. Blink-182 cancel all shows in South America and Mexico due to health problems of Travis Barker, including his show at Lollapalooza Argentina on Saturday March 18 in Argentina. We are happy to announce that the band has confirmed that they will return and perform at the next edition of Lollapalooza Argentina 20124″
Blink-182 details
The reason for the suspension was confirmed by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, when he told on his social networks that he underwent surgery on Tuesday 28 February, due to an injury to his left ring finger during a rehearsal in early February. .
“Yesterday I was playing the drums in rehearsal and I broke my finger so badly I sprained it and tore ligaments,” Barker said on his social networks, where he also shared a series of pictures of his fractured finger .
Many fans initially thought he would be replaced by another drummer (there was talk of Tré Cool of Green Day), but the California trio were eventually replaced by the band Twenty One Pilots.
The closing of the 2nd, then, will be with the explosive duo formed by singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun.
Strength of the twenty-one pilots
The band formed in 2009 and currently consists of vocalist Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dun. The duo is mostly known for hits Stressed out, ride AND Pagans. The group received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group at the 2017 Grammy Awards.
Twenty One Pilots was last in Argentina at Lollapalooza 2019 and put on a memorable show, where they sparked a frenzy at the end of the first day.
Together, Tyler and Josh are a steamroller fusing rock and rap together in a masterclass in alternative rock. They put their songs together and take them apart live, building and deconstructing them, interrupting a verse to say it’s good to be back in Argentina, and picking it up as if nothing had happened.
As for the hits, in that show in front of 70,000 people, nothing was missing from the immortal stressed outup to the most recent Suit AND chlorine. The scenic charisma broke down all barriers, through actions such as singing while walking over the people in the first rows, haranguing a moshball in full embrace, moving a drum set above the audience, climbing a sound tower and, of course, ending up dressed in the Argentina Jerseys of the National..
A varied grid
In addition to Twenty One Pilots, the other Lollapalooza headliners will be Drake, Billie Eilish, Tame Impala and Lil Nas X. There will also be more current music such as Rosalía, The 1975, Jamie XX, Kali Uchis, as well as musicians representing the best of Argentine music, with María Becerra, Trueno, Usted Señalemelo, Diego Torres and Marilina Bertoldi.
It was also confirmed last month that American DJ and producer Skrillex will join the line-up.
