Names like Blink-182 and Dominic Fike canceled participation in Lollapalooza 2023 for different reasons
Lollapalooza Brazil 2023 announced the full line-up in October 2022. Since then, a few things have changed regarding the artists who were originally going to perform at the festival. The example that most resonated was Blink 182responsible for canceling all concerts in South America after the drummer Travis Barker injure a finger.
However, the band wasn’t the only one to cancel the concert at Lollapalooza this year, and four other artists also met the same fate – but not all were replaced. Remember the artists/groups that suspended coming to the event below:
