No production cost was spared…

Watching Tyler’s immersive Lollapalooza set is bittersweet. Knowing that he should have been out here for Splendour last year (and then again this year) it’s hard to watch and not think about how much fun it would have been to catch him at the North Byron Parklands. So, while our jaws are dropping at this powerful set, we can’t help but think about what could have been…

Headlining the festival, Tyler incorporates props, costume changes and plenty of story-telling as the 85-minute hits pretty much every highlight from the rapper’s solo career up to latest album Call Me If You Get Lost. Hit the comment section for some serious Tyler praise for the set, with some fans labelling it his “greatest ever” performance:

Who knows when we’ll be able to catch him in the flesh again? You might as well pour yourself a (very very big) drink, pump your speakers and enjoy…
