Saturday was the third day of Lollapalooza in Chicago’s Grant Park. Along with Durk, headlining acts at this year’s event included Lil Baby, J Cole, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa, Metallica, Green Day, Machine Gun Kelly, and Kygo. Big Sean, the Kid Laroi, Denzel Curry, Cordae, Jazmine Sullivan, Don Toliver, YG, Willow, Teezo Touchdown, Baby Tate, Coi Leray, Tinashe, Dominic Fike, and others also performed during the festival.
It’s unclear whether Durk intends to reschedule or abandon any of his future tour dates; the rapper is set to play a headline gig in Boston on Saturday, August 13, before starting off his ‘7220 Deluxe’ tour in mid-September.
If Durkio’s last tour with Lil Baby that’s any evidence, his future tour has a good chance of turning a profit. Durk disclosed last October that the couple made $15 million from the cross-country tour after selling 250,000 tickets. Durk hopes to build on the momentum he achieved in 2021, when he tied Taylor Swift for the year’s most Billboard Hot 100 hits with 41 tracks.
