With a Latin flavor, Cypress Hill grabs the audience in a show with rap and hardcore at Lolla 2026
Cypress Hill kick-started the night shows at Lollapalooza Brazil 2026, delivering an energetic performance that blends hip-hop with rock influences, captivating an evolving audience.
Cypress Hill opened the night shows at Lollapalooza Brazil 2026 with a vibrant performance that seamlessly combined hip-hop with elements of rock and hardcore. Despite starting with a sparse crowd as many attendees had gathered for the day's main attraction, Chappell Roan, the audience gradually increased, bringing more energy to the show. The band's unique sound, which they coined humorously as 'raprockandrollpsicodeliahardcoregga,' resonated well with the attendees as the night progressed.
The California quartet, consisting of B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo, and DJ Lord, draws significant influence from cultures south of the United States, particularly from Mexico, which was evident in their performance. They included songs with both English and Spanish lyrics in their setlist, such as "Tequila Sunrise," and touched upon themes relevant to street culture that shaped their music, exemplified by the track "Lowrider." Their dynamic display not only entertained but also honored their diverse musical roots.
Midway through the performance, Cypress Hill surprised the audience by introducing a new song, showcasing their ability to innovate while maintaining their established style. This blend of nostalgia and freshness kept the crowd engaged and eager. As one of the prominent acts of the festival, their show underlined the strong connection between hip-hop and rock genres and highlighted their impact on contemporary music.
