Marina returns to Lollapalooza with theatrical pop sans biggest hit

Marina Diamandis was the first international artist on Lollapalooza Brasil's main stage on Saturday (21) at Autódromo de Interlagos, with a show delayed by under ten minutes. The crowd, full for the slot, cheered tracks from her new album 'Princess of Power', but without the hit 'How to Be A Heartbreaker'. The performance featured a video game narrative inspired by artists like Madonna.

Marina, known mononymously though her surname is Diamandis, took the main stage at Lollapalooza Brasil on Saturday (21) after a delay of under ten minutes. It marked her third appearance at the festival, following 2016 and 2022. The crowd filled the slot unusually well, indicating dedicated fans drawn by pop divas in this edition's line-up. The Welsh artist showcased her new album 'Princess of Power', released last year via her independent label 'Queenie Records LLC', drawing from Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and ABBA. The show opened with narration and 'Star Wars'-style graphics, launching a video game universe featuring a doll version of the singer as protagonist. Fans quickly dubbed her 'mom'. Tracks like 'Cupid’s Girl', 'Cuntissimo', and 'Metallic Stallion'—blended with Madonna's 'Hung Up'—drew cheers and waves of fans. Momentum built with 'Electra Heart' (2012) staples such as 'Bubblegum Bitch', the most sung 'Primadonna', and 'Fruit' (2015). It closed with 'I <3 You', skipping her biggest hit 'How to Be A Heartbreaker', leaving some hearts broken.
