The 2025 edition of Lollapalooza has been full of happy surprises, from pop royalty Robyn performing with Gracie Abrams on the first day, to Olivia Rodrigo marking her Lolla Chicago debut on the second day with a little help from Weezer, the first band she saw in concert. And Saturday was no exception, with Twice making history as the first female K-pop act to headline and Doechii drawing nearly Chappell Roan-level crowds to her set.

But just like every other EA Sports title, this game is also not free from bugs and glitches. And this might be the biggest problem for the game right now.

After supporting Sza, Doja Cat, and Beyoncé on the road, Top Dawg Entertainment rapper Doechii will headline her own tour supporting her critically acclaimed new mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal. Across 12 dates, she’ll hit select cities including Atlanta, Philadelphia, New York, Paris, London, and Berlin.

Rolling Stone‘s four-star review of Alligator Bites Never Heal celebrated it as “one of the year’s very best albums,” writing that the self-proclaimed “Swamp Princess” from Tampa, Florida (where her tour will stop) is “a fully realized artist, with immense technical and curatorial skill.
