In 2017, American alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World, formed in 1993 in Mesa, Arizona, and renowned for hits like "The Middle" and "Sweetness" from albums Bleed American (2001) and Futures (2004), performed at Lollapalooza Brasil—the South American edition of the iconic festival, held at São Paulo's Autódromo de Interlagos and drawing over 100,000 attendees. Their hour-long set on March 26, brimming with emotive riffs and frontman Jim Adkins' energy, opened with the rhythmic drive of "Bleed American," building intensity through "Big Casino," "My Best Theory," and "Get Right," lyrical "You Are Free" and "Hear You Me," epic "Futures" and "Lucky Denver Mint," wrapping with "Pain," "Work," "Sweetness," and "The Middle" amid cheers, highlighting the group's evolution from 2000s emo-rock to mature tones on Integrity Blues (2016). This show emerged as a festival highlight, affirming their staple status with millions of YouTube views and indie scene influence.
