Quill will perform on Saturday, July 31, bringing his Golden Age-inspired hip-hop to what will surely be a rabid audience.

Quill has had an exciting start to 2021, dropping subsequent hit singles with “90s Kid” and “Curbside,” proving that hard work and relentless hustle pays off; the MC has been honing his craft since 2013. His determination has landed him a slot at Lolla, where he’ll be performing alongside artists like Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion, Freddie Gibbs, Cautious Clay, Porches, and more.
