Which 2026 Lollapalooza act is the stage name of British musician Dev Hynes?

The story behind the answer

Blood Orange is the stage name of British musician Dev Hynes. Hynes uses the name for a solo project centered on songwriting, production, singing and richly layered music that draws from indie pop, R&B, funk, soul and electronic music.

Before developing Blood Orange, Hynes performed in the dance-punk group Test Icicles and later released music as Lightspeed Champion. The Blood Orange name emerged in the late 2000s, with albums including Coastal Grooves, Cupid Deluxe, Freetown Sound and Negro Swan. Hynes is also widely known as a producer and songwriter for other artists, making the project only one part of his musical career.

The question identifies an artist name, not a band whose members include Hynes. That distinction matters: Blood Orange is principally Hynes’s recording and performance project, although live presentations can involve additional musicians. The name is therefore different in kind from fellow Lollapalooza acts such as Boys Noize or Duke Dumont, who are also artist names but refer to different performers.
