Lollapalooza 2019: Lil Wayne, J. Balvin make history on Day 3; highlights from Day 1 and 2

2019年Lollapalooza: Lil Wayne, J. Balvin在第三天创造历史;第一天和第二天的亮点

Lollapalooza tickets tends to sell out well in advance, but this year only Saturday general-admission tickets were spoken for months ago. Before the day was done, one act attracted one of the largest crowds the Chicago mega-festival has ever seen — but it wasn't headliners Twenty One Pilots or J. Balvin.

Lollapalooza的门票往往会提前很久就卖完，但今年只有周六的普通门票在几个月前就已经售罄了。在当天结束之前，一场表演吸引了芝加哥大型电影节有史以来最大的观众之一-但它不是头条“21飞行员”(Twenty One Pilots)或J·巴尔文(J.Balvin)。

When Twenty One Pilots played an afternoon Lolla slot four years ago, they had a crowd that rivaled Paul McCartney's, and there were so many fans jumping at one point in the set you could feel the actual earth move underneath your feet.

四年前，当“21飞行员”(21 Pilot)在下午的洛拉(Lolla)时段演奏时，他们的人群堪比保罗·麦卡特尼(Paul McCartney)的，现场有那么多球迷在跳，你能感觉到脚下真正的大地在移动。

Four years later, they were back to headline — shockingly, in front of a smaller crowd. It wasn’t an empty field by any means, but you could easily walk up and grab a spot close to the stage at any point, which was impossible back in 2015.

四年后，他们又回到了头条新闻-令人震惊的是，在一小群人面前。无论如何，这并不是一个空旷的场地，但你可以很容易地走上前去，在任何时候抓住一个靠近舞台的位置，这在2015年是不可能的。

Pilots played with their patented energy and showcased their distinct, genre-hopping style. Tyler Joseph rapped on top of a flaming car for “Levitate,” introduced “Heathens” with a little Beethoven on piano (and ended the song with screamed vocals), and strummed a ukulele for the peppy “We Don’t Believe What’s On TV.” But the crowd reaction was also significantly tamer compared to the response four years ago, when Pilots had just broken into the mainstream and was cutting edge. The novelty has worn off.

飞行员发挥他们的专利能量，并展示了他们独特的，流派跳跃的风格。泰勒·约瑟夫(Tyler Joseph)在一辆着火的汽车上为“Levitate”敲击，用钢琴弹奏了一首小小的贝多芬，介绍了“希森斯”(Heathens)(并以尖叫的人声结束了这首歌)，还为“我们不相信电视上的东西”(We‘t Believe What on TV)弹奏了一首四弦琴。但与四年前的反应相比，人群的反应也明显温和，当时Pilots刚刚进入主流，处于前沿。新鲜感已经消失了。

It was a great turn of events following a bumpy month. On July 11, he suggested he might pull out of his co-headlining tour with Blink-182 — in the middle of a tour-stop performance that he cut short. Then on July 26, just a couple of hours before he was set to take the stage in Tampa, he tweeted that he was feeling under the weather and wouldn't be part of the Blink bill that night, which drew a lot of skepticism.

在经历了坎坷的一个月之后，事情发生了很大的变化。7月11日，他暗示他可能会退出与Blink-182联合主演的巡演-在他缩短的巡回演出中。然后在7月26日，就在他准备在坦帕登台的几个小时前，他在推特上说，他感觉身体不舒服，不会参加当晚的“眨眼法案”，这引发了很多质疑。

But Wayne seemingly was in great health Saturday, his spirit no doubt buoyed by the massive crowd laid out before him — larger even than for Childish Gambino Friday, or Twenty One Pilots and McCartney back in 2015.

但周六，韦恩似乎身体很好，他的精神无疑受到了摆在他面前的大量人群的鼓舞-人数甚至比2015年的Chilish Gambino周五，或者21飞行员和麦卡特尼还要多。

With a DJ and rock band putting gas on his fire, Weezy roared through choice cuts of high-energy greatest hits — and did his very own version of “Old Town Road.” Expect Lil Nas X to call Wayne's people about making yet another remix — that is, if negotiations haven’t started already.

在DJ和摇滚乐队的助燃下，威兹一路高歌热播，精选了几首高能量热门歌曲，并演唱了自己版本的《老城路》。“如果谈判还没有开始的话，预计Lil Nas X会打电话给韦恩的人，让他们再做一次混音。

J. Balvin makes history

J·巴尔文创造了历史

J. Balvin didn't have a Lil Wayne-level turnout, but the Latin pop star's headlining appearance Saturday was definitely more significant: It was the first time in Lollapalooza's 28-year history that an artist who sings entirely in Spanish was headlining the festival.

J·巴尔文没有Lil Wayne级别的出席人数，但这位拉丁流行歌星周六的亮相绝对更有意义：在Lollapalooza 28年的历史上，这是第一次有一位完全用西班牙语演唱的艺术家成为音乐节的主角。

Balvin showed he was up for the occasion, the ringmaster for the most festive and infectious Lolla headlining set of the year so far. An inflated, 20-foot-tall troll clutching a smiling cloud bounced to “Que Pretendes,” while life-size bobblehead versions of Cardi B and Bad Bunny appeared for “I Like It,” surrounded by Balvin’s nimble, colorful backing dancers.

巴尔文展示了他在这个场合的表现，他是今年到目前为止最喜庆和最具感染力的洛拉头条套装的主演。一个膨胀的20英尺高的巨魔抓着微笑的云朵跳到了“Que Pretendes”，而真人大小的“Cardi B”和“坏兔子”的波波头版出现在了“我喜欢它”中，周围围绕着巴尔文灵活多彩的伴舞演员。

Maybe Lolla can continue giving Latin music a big platform in 2020 and book Bad Bunny to actually headline — and Cardi B, while they’re at it. But Balvin was already one step ahead: During his historic set Saturday, he brought out one of the biggest reggaeton acts in the world, the seminal duo Wisin y Yandel, who performed their first single, 2005's "Rakata," on the Lolla stage.

也许洛拉可以在2020年继续给拉丁音乐提供一个很大的平台，把“坏兔子”(Bad Bunny)写成真正的头条新闻-还有卡迪·B(Cardi B)，当他们在做这件事的时候。但巴尔文已经领先了一步：在周六的历史性演出中，他带来了世界上最大的雷格顿表演之一-开创性的二人组Wisin y Yandel，他们在洛拉的舞台上表演了他们的第一支单曲，2005年的“Rakata”。

Day 1 highlights
第一天的亮点

Drew Taggart and Alex Pall of the Chainsmokers walked onstage Thursday with flares in hand, and the fireworks blew up pretty good.

吸烟者德鲁·塔格特(Drew Taggart)和亚历克斯·鲍尔(Alex Pall)周四走上舞台，手里拿着照明弹，烟花爆炸得相当不错。

Day 2 highlights
第二天的亮点

Childish Gambino (you also know him as actor, writer and director Donald Glover) drew one of the largest crowd's Lolla has had for a headliner Friday night.
第二天了孩子气的甘比诺(你也知道他是演员、作家和导演唐纳德·格洛弗[Donald Glover])在周五晚上的头条上吸引了最多的观众。

Despite stalling his start, Glover paid off fans' patience with slick spins, belly dancing, rapid-fire rapping for "II. Worldstar" and soulful, raspy wailing for "Have Some Love." And "This Is America" live was riveting, with angelic choirs and child-like dancing drastically contrasted with abrasive trap beats and Glover's huge, unshakable, unsettling smile.

尽管格洛弗的开场有些拖后腿，但他还是用流畅的旋转、肚皮舞和快速的说唱来满足粉丝们的耐心。“世界之星”，还有深情的、刺耳的“来点爱吧”(Have Some Love)。《这就是美国》的现场表演非常吸引人，天使般的唱诗班和孩子般的舞蹈与刺耳的节拍和格洛弗那巨大的、不可动摇的、令人不安的微笑形成了鲜明的对比。
