Check Out Who Will Be At The BMI Stage At Lollapalooza

BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) is excited to announce the incredible lineup of performers slated to hit the BMI Stage at Lollapalooza from Thursday, August, 1 throughSunday, August 4. For 14 years, the BMI Stage has been the source of new music discovery, routinely presenting some of the industry's hottest emerging artists.

With music ranging from incendiary rock and soulful funk, to dream pop and emo hip-hop, the acts on this stage are guaranteed to be seen playing mainstages at festivals around the world. In addition to this year's talented roster of singer/songwriters performing over four days, the featured headliners include electro-rocker Des Rocs, introspective lyricist nothing,nowhere., alt-country singer Ruston Kelly and burgeoning pop star Bülow.

"The magnitude of talent that has played this stage is unmatched by any other," says Samantha Cox, BMI Vice President Creative, New York. "The BMI Stage has showcased countless household names in the infancy of their careers and continues to play a crucial role in breaking artists into mainstream success."

Previous performers who have graced BMI Stage at Lollapalooza before becoming fixtures on popular radio and streaming platforms include Lady Gaga, Bebe Rexha, Halsey, Justin Tranter's Semi Precious Weapons, Elle King, MAX, Cage the Elephant and many more.

Of performing on the BMI Stage in 2014, Bebe Rexha commented, "The energy was electric, so much fun and it was an amazing opportunity for me - it was my first festival performance as a solo artist!" In 2010, Justin Tranter performed with his band Semi Precious Weapons and recalled the time he and Lady Gaga crowd surfed during the finale of their set, saying, "To this day, it still shows up [as one of the] 'best festival moments ever.' That performance on that BMI stage opened more doors for me than I ever imagined."
