Doechii made her presence known at Lollapalooza, and not just with her powerhouse vocals. The 26-year-old rapper and singer turned the T-Mobile stage into a full-blown spectacle on Saturday, August 2, delivering a high-octane performance that doubled as a teaser for her first headlining tour.
Right before wrapping up her set, she dropped the bombshell: “Before we get out of here, I want to make an announcement,” she said to the crowd. “I’m gonna be going on tour on Oct. 14. What’s up, y’all? Bye!” With that, she exited stage left, but the surprises didn’t stop there.
A Tour Tease Wrapped in Mystery
Almost immediately after Doechii left the stage, nearby monitors lit up with details for the Live From The Swamp Tour. A countdown timer on the official site pointed fans to Monday, August 4, when tour dates and tickets would go live.
The roll-out leading up to the reveal wasn’t subtle. Giant albino alligators were spotted across key cities, at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, floating along the Chicago River, and even perched near Atlanta’s Piedmont Park. Each appearance nodded to the swampy theme of the upcoming tour, which already promises to be anything but ordinary.
A Set Packed With Hits and Humor
Doechii’s 50-minute performance was more than just a musical showcase, it was a provocative, genre-bending celebration of ’90s hip-hop, R&B, and raw confidence. The rapper cycled through fan favorites like “Nissan Altima,” “Anxiety,” and “Denial Is a River,” keeping the crowd fully locked in from start to finish.
Midway through the set, she addressed one of her most viral pop culture moments: her Met Gala umbrella tantrum. With a wink to the past, she invited JT onstage from behind an oversized umbrella prop to perform their track “Alter Ego.”
And of course, she didn’t just walk offstage. She drove away, literally in a custom albino alligator car, a nod to the tour’s bayou flair and her affinity for the dramatic.
