Lollapalooza Archives - The Knockturnal

It’s the vocals and collaboration for us! Before her debut Lollapalooza performance in “The Windy City”, two-time Grammy Award winner Jazmine Sullivan partnered with IHG Hotels & Resorts to give some fans an exclusive rooftop party last Wednesday (July 27).

The packed event took place at Boleo Rooftop in Chicago. Guests were also invited to try two specialty cocktails including the “Piña Co-Lolla” and a “Six Thousand”, a nod to the 6000+ open hotels by unveiling the “6,000 Club,” a collection of new properties from IHG.

Once she took the stage Miss Sulivan performed a medley of her biggest hits for the crowd, “Bust Your Windows”, “Pick Up Your Feelings”, and “Insecure.” Fans were singing along to every word and trying to record all of the R&B singer’s high notes. She served vocals and stunned with a beaming hot pink Sandro shirt and Stuart Weitzman heels.

Jazmine also shared that she was invited to curate her own suite at the Kimpton Gray Hotel by IHG Hotels & Resorts. One lucky IHG rewards member was able to enjoy a luxurious five-night stay in a suite that featured all of Jazmine’s travel essentials, from calming scents to vegan snacks and immune-strengthening juices.

“Traveling is naturally a big part of my life, both for work and to experience new things. When I’m on the road, my hotel room is my sanctuary and a space of rejuvenation. I rely on a space that feels both comforting and creative to recharge. That’s why I was so drawn to collaborate with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring my favorite parts of traveling to life through my own curated suite. From the calming scents we brought into the room to what’s stocked in the mini fridge, this suite is a little part of me that I’m so excited to share.”
