Press Release
NEW YORK, June 26, 2014 – Broadcast Music Inc.® (BMI®), a global leader in music rights management, representing more than 600,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers, is proud to present the performers on its 2014 Lollapalooza stage. Running August 1, 2 and 3 at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field in Chicago, Ill., BMI’s stage will kick off performances at 12:00 p.m. each day, setting the pace at the behemoth music festival.
Festival-goers seeking rising stars and a bucolic respite from the Chicago heat flock to the BMI Lollapalooza stage, known for emitting soulful sounds, acoustic balladry and pop-rock rhapsodies from a variety of singer-songwriting acts. Performers on this year’s BMI stage range from the indie pop melodies of Betty Who to the no-nonsense party music purveyors Wallpaper; the swagger of Chicago native Vic Mensa; and the rogue rock collective Highly Suspect. The lineup will provide a blend of sounds, reflecting Lollapalooza’s wide-ranging approach in offering attendees performances that are unique and remarkable.
“C3 Presents continues to curate an explosive menagerie of talent each year at Lollapalooza, and BMI is excited to partner with them again to present a slew of noteworthy bands on our sponsored stage,” said Charlie Feldman, BMI Vice President, Writer/Publisher Relations. “Our Lollapalooza stage has been a superstar soothsayer: Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Chance The Rapper, Cage the Elephant and American Authors have all delivered stellar performances on the BMI stage before achieving mainstream success.”
