Lollapalooza 25 kicks off on Thursday in Chicago’s historic Grant Park–and on Sunday, LANco will be taking the stage singing their brand new single “Long Live Tonight!” The guys will be in Grant Park on the last day of the music festival–and they still can’t believe they’re going to be a part of it. Brandon, lead singer of LANco, joked that when the call came into the band about playing the festival “It doesn’t take long between the second that you get the phone call you’re playing Lollapalooza and your answer.” Of course the guys said yes, and are thrilled to be representing country music. Brandon pointed out “Lollapalooza historically doesn’t have a ton of country acts in the lineup, and so…we’re just so proud, and honored, and we’re ready to represent country music at Lollapalooza.”

“This weekend is definitely a milestone in LANco’s history. We’re heading up to Chicago, and will be playing in Lollapalooza. We’re one of, you know, a few country acts that have every played Lollapalooza, and it’s the first time definitely for us ever playing Lollapalooza, so we’re really excited. Lollapalooza is just one of those historic festivals that you always hear about, and dream about going to…let alone playing in so we we couldn’t be more excited,”

“It doesn’t take long between the second that you get the phone call you’re playing Lollapalooza and your answer…it’s one in the same. I remember we got the phone call to play Lollapalooza, and it’s like ‘is this a joke?’ or is this maybe one of those things that ‘Hey, we’re shooting for it’…but when we got the confirmation that we are playing Lollapalooza it was just, there was definitely celebrations to be had (laugh).”

“Lollapalooza historically doesn’t have a ton of country acts in the lineup, and so…but it does have a wide array of music and genres, and so for us to be at Lollapalooza representing the country world and representing music coming from Nashville, we’re just so proud, and honored, and we’re ready to represent country music at Lollapalooza.”
