Lollapalooza unveiled the 2021 music festival lineup Wednesday morning (May 19), and fans had some thoughts about it.
By Wednesday afternoon, sister duo Aly & AJ trended on Twitter.
That’s because some fans — though pumped to see Aly & AJ perform — didn’t appreciate that the former Disney stars dwindled toward the bottom of the lineup announcement.
Aly & AJ's popularity surged in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The sisters have since released new music and new twists on beloved throwbacks.
Here’s how fans defended Aly & AJ on Twitter:
“aly & aj trending ??? yes. their placement on the lollapalooza chart ??? big no.”
I see you, Aly & Aj. You’re headlining in my heart https://t.co/eZeGp53BN3

“There is simply reason for Aly & AJ to be so small and close to the bottom”
STOP ACTING LIKE ALY & AJ WERE NOT A STAPLE OF OUR CHILDHOOD https://t.co/87eIgt1b1n
