LIVE REVIEW: INNERVIEW DOES LOLLAPALOOZA: SUNDAY, 8/5

Sluggish attendees could barely stand by Lolla day four, yet singer Jesse Reyez danced across the American Eagle Stage with die-hard fans, chanting “I like being ugly” from her collaboration with Calvin Harris on “Hard to Love”. She then transitioned into an impromptu cover of Harris’s “One Kiss” (featuring Dua Lipa). Sultry Colombian queen Kali Uchis serenaded devotees in a fringed number, despite high winds and dusty conditions (which actually forced her projection screens to be lowered). Swedish singer Lykke Li set up as Uchis continued, with the oppressive heat somehow intensifying by the hour. In a fashion feat, she donned black vinyl pants and oversized jackets during her show with an emotional setlist that featured older material but also showcased her latest project, So Sad So Sexy. Gucci Mane held it down for Atlanta and gave us all what we wanted: the classics. Styled in Burberry shorts, diamonds, and a killer-watt smile, he revisited fan favorites from “Lemonade” to “Wasted”. Alternative rapper Lil Uzi Vert was booked to perform again at the festival, as last year’s set was cut short due to a weather evacuation. With pyrotechnics and skeleton visuals, Uzi had everyone at Bud Light singing along to “XO Tour Life”. What So Not brought beach inflatables and turned Perry’s into a party (well, more of a party). The Australian producer rocked neon hair (a color that can only be described as “tennis ball”) and included live guitar which really brought something extra. Quinn XCII turned out a huge crowd, which then migrated to closing sets as Playboi Carti took over the American Eagle spot. Carti’s set was a sensory overload, with strobe lights flashing across the moshing crowd. He said anyone who was scared could leave, but that was not happening without hearing “Magnolia” (which soon happened.) And, as expected, total chaos ensued. –BY DANIELLA THOMPSON–PHOTO BY SYDNEY GAWLIK/LOLLAPALOOZA 2018
