Tyler, the Creator cancels Lollapalooza & Outside Lands Festival shows: 'That's not sexy at all'

Tyler, the Creator has pulled out of his original slot at 2024 Lollapalooza about six weeks before the festival was scheduled to take place. He also won't be appearing at Outside Lands 2024 next weekend in August.

The Grammy-winning rapper made the announcement early Thursday (June 20) that he won't be making the pair of August appearances at the festival, but gave no reason as to why.

“I hate to say this, but I have to cancel lollapalooza and outer lands. I made a commitment that I can no longer keep and it makes me mad knowing how excited people were,” he wrote on social media.

Although he muted angry fans' responses to X, Tyler gave them permission to call him by his name when they see him in person to bail. “It's not sexy at all. please forgive me or call me names when you see me in person. love,” he continued.

Advertising sign has reached out to representatives for Tyler as well as both festivals for comment.

The 'Earfquake' rapper was set to headline the annual Windy City festival alongside SZA, Blink-182, The Killers and Future with Metro Boomin. Scheduled for August 1st through August 4th, the Chicago festival features more than 170 acts over four days. Other artists on the bill include Tate McRae, Killer Mike, Kesha, Chappell Roan, Zedd and more.

Outside Lands continues to drop from August 9-11. The San Francisco festival boasts additional headliners including Sturgill Simpson, The Killers and Post Malone.

However, Tyler the Creator surprised California fans when he came out to perform “Wusyaname” during Mustard's set at Kendrick Lamar's Pop Out concert at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, CA on Wednesday night (June 19 ).

Tyler went to X to describe in words how amazing the experience was for him. “It was beautiful to see the whole town come together last night,” he wrote. “My first raps were written at home by crenshaw dr and 82nd, right down fourm. thanks. I shout FREE LUNCH.”
