All Lollapalooza Argentina 2022 shows can now be enjoyed on demand

International figures such as Miley Cyrus, Foo Fighters, The Strokes and Doja Cat, mixed with rising artists and local references such as Duki, Babasónicos, Bizarrap and Nicki Nicole on the long-awaited return of Lollapalooza Argentina. The festival convened 300,000 over 3 days at the San Isidro Racecourse, was followed live through Flow by more than 1 million people and left memorable shows.

The highlight of the opening was Cyrus. Former Hannah Montana had visited Argentina 11 years ago in her teen days, after her post-Disney rebellion in 2014 and now she returned in her best version: consecrated as a rockstar. Miley wore her powerful voice and overwhelming presence with the guitar tracks on her album Plastic Hearts, a cover of Blondie's “Heart of Glass”, quotes to Pixies and even distorted versions of songs from her early days like “7 Things” and “Fly on The Wall”. A nod to the audience that grew up with her.

Another one who bet on the rocking heart of the public was Bizarrap. The most listened Argentine producer on Spotify closed the first day with a DJ set that mixed electronics and the hits of his successful BZRP sessions, such as those of Dillom and L-Ghent (who, in addition, had outstanding shows of the festival on their own). He seriously surprised when he invited Gaspar Benegas, guitarist of Indio Solari's band, The Fundamentalists of Air Conditioning, to the stage. With the arrival of the Indian, Biza took “Jijiji” to the Racecourse and gave his fans the closest thing to the experience of a ricotero pogo.

On the second day of the festival he had the confidence of the New York icons of The Strokes. As one of the most influential bands of the last 20 years, it doesn't have much to prove, yet it proved its link with the Argentine public by doing a cumbia in the middle of “Razorblade”. On their fourth visit to Argentina, the quintet focused on the songs of The New Abnormal, their most recent album, and allowed themselves to be released from the libretto with songs such as “You're So Right” and “Electriciscape”, which haven't been played live for years.

If there was a show in tune with the current charts, it was that of Doja Cat. A fair mix of popstar and rapper, the Californian artist made her debut in Argentina on the horseback of the hits with which Tik Tok has been viralizing such as “Woman”, “Streets” and the inescapable “Say So”. With intense choreography, but also with a tight band, Doja put the finishing touch to another date marked by a new generation of girl power. Hours earlier that day, Nicki Nicole dominated the stage with hits such as “Colocao” and “Wapo Traketero”, and invited Emiliano Brancciari from No Te Va Gustar, to perform together the collaboration that earned them a nomination for Best Rock Song at the Latin Grammys: “Venganza”.

Foo Fighters closed the festival on the third date, as expected, with a show full of classics: “Times Like These”, “The Pretender”, “Learn to Fly”. But they had more surprises prepared. Averaging the set, drummer Taylor Hawkins went to the front to sing, singer Dave Grohl returned to chopsticks like in his Nirvana days and the band did Queen's “Somebody to Love”.

The recital continued with more hits (“All My Life”, “Run”, “Wheels”, “Best of You”) until a new twist came that only the most attentive ones saw coming (the drum drum had the inscription “Foo's Addiction”): festival co-founder Perry Farrell got on to sing “Been Caught Stealin”, by Jane's Addiction. A crossing for history.

All of the festival's shows are now available to watch on-demand on Flow.
