Kesha wields a KNIFE while drenched in fake blood while Chappell Roan goes WWE glam in wild wrestling outfit as they lead superstar performers at Lollapalooza 2024 in Chicago

Kesha and Chappell Roan were the stars on the first day of Lollapalooza 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

More than 100,000 rabid fans descended on Grant Park on Thursday afternoon to see their favorite artists perform live during the annual music festival.

Kesha shocked fans when she used a prop knife and fake blood during her electrifying performance on stage at IHG Hotels & Resorts.

The 37-year-old singer also wore her now-iconic ‘LOL’ tank top, which many believe is a subtle dig at Katy Perry after she collaborated with Dr. Luke on new music.

Rising star Chappell Roan looked straight out of WWE as she dominated the T-Mobile stage just hours before rapper Megan Thee Stallion’s headlining performance.

The 26-year-old Missouri native exuded confidence in a flamboyant pink, blue and silver wrestling suit with a playful black trim and a matching Luchador mask.

Kesha’s glamorous yet bloody 6pm performance was a hit with pop music fans.

The singer-songwriter paired her bloodied “LOL” tank top with a sparkly mini skirt meant to look like a deconstructed Birkin bag.

Her signature sandy blonde hair fell to her waist and she wore messy black eyeliner.

Kesha danced around the stage in Converse All Star sneakers and tights.

The Joyride hitmaker gave an animated performance and even gave the audience his middle finger during one song.

Chappell Roan’s WWE performance featured muscular bikini-clad dancers and a real wrestling ring surrounding her drummer Lucy Ritter.
