The 33-year-old artist made his glory mostly thanks to the massive 2017 hit \u201cMi Gente\u201d. Except for this sensational song with Willy William and \u201cI Like It\u201d with Cardi B and Bad Bunny, the 33-year-old Colombian star has amassed a strong back catalogue of Latin hits, including \u201cAy Vamos\u201d, \u201cGinza\u201d, \u201c6 AM\u201d and \u201cX.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He has also worked with Beyonce, Cardi B, and Justin Bieber in the past and previously admitted he&#8217;s only interested in teaming up with artists he &#8220;loves and respects&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I just work with people that I love and respect, that inspire me to be a better person, a better artist. I think it was a really beautiful cultural move. People see me with the queen, like, if she&#8217;s working with him it&#8217;s because he&#8217;s for real. She&#8217;s not the type of girl that works with everybody. All the other collaborations are helping me a lot to keep spreading the vibe that I want.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>J Balvin becoming Lollapalooza headliner opens the door for other Latin artists to join in the future. This is a huge step forward for the proliferation and inclusion of Latin Music within the US mainstream.<\/p>\n<p>Witness this milestone moment for the Latin music and secure your spot at the biggest summer festival, the festival that was conceived in the 1990s and celebrates alternative culture.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets can be bought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ticketcenter.com\/lollapalooza-tickets\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lollapalooza Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Show Date and Time: 1-4 August 2019, 3:30 pm<\/p>\n<p>Show Location: Hutchinson Field Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois<\/p>\n<p>Show Duration: Four Days<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombian reggaeton superstar J Balvin is making history as the first Latin American artist ever to headline Lollapalooza Festival this summer.
