After party, ginger shot and chef: see dressing room requests from Lolla 2024 artists | Lollapalooza 2024

One of the main attractions on the first day of Lollapalooza 2024, the band Arcade Fire asked the event to host an after party in the dressing room area. Another request from the group was for one of the band members to be the DJ for this exclusive party.

Dressing room requirements, or the famous “rider”, is a common practice among bands and artists who perform on tours and festivals. And at Lollapalooza 2024, which takes place on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th of March, at the Autódromo de Interlagos, in São Paulo, it will be no different.

Another highlight from Friday (22), the group Blink-182 requested a chef with five assistants for their dressing room. The band closes the first day of performances on the Budweiser Stage.

SZA, star of the last day of the festival, asked for flowers (white roses, calla lilies and white flowers), hangers, as well as ginger shots for her entire band, team and dancers.

The singer, who closes the event on the Budweiser Stage, also requested an air purifier, humidifier and vitamin water on her dressing room wish list.

The bold requests artists make for their dressing rooms on tours and festivals

In previous editions of Lollapalooza, artists who took the stage have already requested dozens of towels, a dressing room without any alcoholic drinks and even a washing machine in the famous “rider”, as bands and artists’ request lists for their dressing rooms are called in tours and festivals.

Remember some requests from previous editions:

Another curious request was for two small trees. The order could also be exchanged for large plants.

Also at Lolla 2017, Metallica was the champion in the list of daring requests: among drinks such as coconut water, sports drinks and orange juice, they asked a chef to prepare the food they wanted. But the boldest part of the list of demands was a washing machine and dryer.

In addition, the group also ordered pizza, hamburgers and peanut butter.

One of Lolla’s biggest stars in 2023, Billie Eilish brought her own chef to prepare her dishes.

But the singer also made a special request. According to the newspaper O Globo, the singer, who is vegan, asked that nothing in her dressing room had anything to do with animals.

Lil Nas X asked four assistants to take care of his costumes. And look, there weren’t a few pieces, as the singer arrived in Brazil with 10 suitcases of clothes.

Also according to the newspaper O Globo, Drake was another one who had a list of special requests: among them, only furniture in light tones, and a TV so that he wouldn’t miss the plays of an American championship basketball game.
