Tyler, the Creator was originally slated to perform at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 1, 2024, and at Outside Lands in San Francisco from August 9-11, 2024. However, due to unforeseen commitments, he had to pull out of both events. This decision has led to swift replacements by the festival organizers.
At Lollapalooza, Megan Thee Stallion will take over Tyler’s headlining spot on August 1. She expressed her excitement about the opportunity, posting on Instagram, “Hot girl summer in Chicago.” At Outside Lands, pop singer Sabrina Carpenter is set to replace Tyler on August 10, 2024, bringing her unique blend of pop and R&B to the festival.
Tyler concluded his announcement by seeking forgiveness from his fans:
“[Canceling] is not sexy at all,” he wrote. “Please, please forgive me or call me names when you see me in person. Love.”
