Short version: Charli XCX archived her Instagram and posted a goodbye-style message, sparking speculation about her status for Lollapalooza. Fans on r/lollapalooza are split — some think she’s stepping away for a bit, others point out she still has UK festival dates.
What happened
Charli recently cleared her Instagram and posted a black-slate message thanking fans: “the only reason i am where i am is because of you, seriously. thank you for everything; for believing in me, for understanding my nuance, for caring. it’s been so special. i love you all so much! see you next time. Charli xx.” That screenshot circulated in a Reddit thread asking whether that means she’s out of the festival lineup.
What fans are saying
– Some commenters read the post as a sign she’s taking a meaningful break and not likely to do one-off festival stops.
– Others pointed out she already has confirmed shows at Reading & Leeds in the UK in August, so she isn’t fully off the road.
– A few noted that unless Charli announces additional touring dates, a one-off like Lollapalooza Chicago seems unlikely.
Bottom line
Nothing official says Charli XCX is dropped from or skipping Lollapalooza Chicago. The Instagram post hints at a pause, but confirmed UK appearances mean she’s not disappearing entirely. If you’re holding out for a later announcement, keep expectations tempered — and we’ll update the wire if a booking or cancellation shows up.
Stay tuned here for lineup updates and any confirmation either way.
