Lollapalooza 2023: The Mystery of Claptone concludes the first day of the festival


Presentation by a masked DJ finished around 11.20pm on stage 4, closing the day of shows at the Interlagos Circuit

The existence of masked artists in the music world is common: Daft Punk, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Marshmello… Each in their own way, but they all try to ‘hide’ their true identity at some point. The method is also adopted by claptonwhich concluded the first night of electronic music concerts at Lollapalooza 2023 this Friday the 24th.

Dressed all in black, except for white gloves and a golden mask that looks like it came out of a Venetian carnival, hiding his face under a glamorous top hat, the German DJ opened the show with Cream and rocked the audience with more songs typical. home, along with powerful female vocals or striking keyboard chords. There was even room for samples from famous artists like Elton John. (cold cold heart)Crown (Rhythm of the night) and stardust (Music sounds better with you).

Since the identity behind the mask has never actually been made official, some controversies have arisen on social networks in the past, such as the accusation that he “misled” fans by performing in more than one location at the same time. The Claptone project has also performed as a duo on other occasions, such as at the Coachella festival in 2016. At Lollapalooza 2023, he appeared solo.

It looks confusing. Perhaps as much as the fact that the duo Thaeme and Thiago swapped the original Thiago for another singer, called Guilherme, but keeping Thiago’s name, or the various “Reinaldos” who have already performed with Tony Garcia. But not enough to stop appreciating some moments of good music, as did those who were at the Interlagos Circuit or the viewers of the Bis channel, who broadcast the presentation live.
