Billie Eilish

The California native gained traction in 2015 with her single "Ocean Eyes" before "Bad Guy" made her a household name. Her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, was released in 2019 and was followed by Happier Than Ever two years later. The seven-time Grammy winner was also tapped to record the theme for 2021's No Time to Die, which won the 2022 Oscar for Best Original Song. She frequently collaborates with her brother, Finneas O'Connell.

Karol G

The Latinx singer (born Carolina Giraldo Navarro) broke onto the scene at 14 years old after appearing on Colombia's version of The X Factor. She later moved to New York City, scoring her first big hit in 2017 with "Ahora Me Llama" featuring Bad Bunny. Karol G has released four albums between 2017 and 2023 — Unstoppable, Ocean, KG0516 and Mañana Será Bonito — and has won two Latin Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist in 2018.

Kendrick Lamar

Known for his thought-provoking songwriting and performance style, the former Black Hippy rapper found success in 2012 with his second album, Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. The record featured hits like "Swimming Pools (Drank)" and "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe." He followed up with 2015's To Pimp a Butterfly and 2017's Damn, the latter of which earned him the Pulitzer Prize for Music. In 2022, Lamar released his fifth album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.

The 1975

Matty Healy leads this wildly popular alt-rock band from Manchester, England, with childhood pals George Daniel, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald. The group had their first taste of success in 2013 with singles "Chocolate," "Sex" and "Robbers." Their self-titled debut album was released the same year. Four records have followed, including 2022's Being Funny in a Foreign Language, produced by Jack Antonoff.

Odesza

Harrison Mills (a.k.a. Catacombkid) and Clayton Knight (a.k.a. BeachesBeaches) formed this electronic duo in 2012 and have since been nominated for multiple Grammy Awards. They've performed at festivals across the U.S., from Governor's Ball in New York City to SXSW in Austin, Texas. Ahead of Lollapalooza 2023, Odesza released a deluxe version of their fourth album, The Last Goodbye, and an accompanying concert film, The Last Goodbye: Cinematic Experience.

Tomorrow X Together

Known by fans as TXT, the South Korean band got their big break in 2019 with their EP The Dream Chapter: Star. In 2022, they became the first K-Pop act to perform at Lollapalooza. Before returning to the Chicago festival for the second consecutive year, the band announced a joint single with the Jonas Brothers titled "Do It Like That."

Red Hot Chili Peppers

This long-lasting rock band is comprised of vocalist Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante, but several other musicians have come and gone from the group since its 1982 inception. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have six Grammy Awards to their name and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. They received a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame a decade later before the release of their 13th album, Return of the Dream Canteen.

Lana Del Rey

The New York native became a rising star in 2011 thanks to her viral hit "Video Games" — and her career quickly continued to take off. Following acclaimed albums like Born to Die and Ultraviolence, Del Rey released the Grammy-nominated Norman F--king Rockwell! in 2019. Three years later, she collaborated with Swift on the Midnights song "Snow on the Beach." (Both musicians frequently work with Antonoff in the studio.)
