Billie Eilish show at Lollapalooza Chile had technical failures

american singer billie eilish performed their first concert in Chile as part of the festival lollapaloozawhich was held this weekend in the Chilean capital.

The American gave the Chileans a performance that she owed them a long time ago: she should have debuted in Chile in 2020, but that concert was canceled due to the covid-19 pandemic; the event never recovered, until this Friday, March 17, when it sold out the Lollapalooza festival grounds with tens of thousands of attendees.

Billie Eilish kept her more rhythmic songs for both the opening and finale of the performance, but filled the middle of the show with all of her quieter, often saddening melodic themes that characterize her musical style.

Although the American ended the concert with applause and praise, the beginning was tortuous, with shouts about the low quality of the sound to the right of the stage, as well as security problems due to the crowd that gathered near the stage, which were in mostly teenagers.

Before Billie Eilish, the festival saved the penultimate turn of the day for the second headliner this Friday: the African-American pop and rap of Lil Nas X who, with eight dancers also of African descent, staged his performance with a markedly queer and energetic aesthetic. choreographies.

What is Lollapalooza about?

In addition to music, Lollapalooza has other leisure activities on its premises, something that attendees appreciate; Cataldo, in his case, highlighted an initiative to sponsor a tree in south-central Chile, devastated by the large fires that hit the area in February and burned hundreds of thousands of hectares.

Lollapalooza, an international festival originating in the United States, expanded to Latin America for the first time with an edition in Chile, in 2011, and since then it has begun new journeys in Brazil and Argentina, as well as in various European countries.
