Tetris Kelly:
Hanging out at Soho House Chicago with my friends Two Friends. What’s going on, fellas?
Thanks for having us, we’re stoked to be here.
Dude, I’m happy about y’all this weekend because y’all are busy AF, okay? So let’s start with the headlining set. Like did you guys know when you took a high school road trip to Lollapalooza that you’d end up on the stage?
So five of us, me and Eli included. We took it literally right after we graduated high school, that was our first time at Lolla. We drove from LA all the way to Chicago. So it couldn’t be more full circle coming here to headline Perry stage on Saturday. We can’t wait.
And I mean, you guys made a pretty big announcement at your set. Drones? Big Bootie Land, Chicago? Talk to me about it.
Oh, yeah. So we did Big Bootie Land, which is the premiere of each new Big Bootie mix. We did Volume 23 a couple years ago at Northerly Island here in Chicago, and we are bringing it back for the next one too, which is in May 2026, and so yeah, we wanted to have a cool way to kind of announce it while we’re here in Chicago. So we got the drones to let everyone in on the secret, and we’re very excited to bring it back.
And what’s the energy like on the stage at a festival that, when you have, like, all this going on? There’s drones, there’s pyro, there’s thousands of people. Like, what’s that energy feel like?
