How Hacienda PATRÓN Turned Lollapalooza Into a Brand Platform

08.11.25

Some festival moments are too good to stay in the crowd. At Lollapalooza 2025, Hacienda PATRÓN built one of them — a two-story reimagining of its iconic Jalisco distillery, complete with skyline views, vinyl DJs, and the signature Headliner Margarita. It wasn’t just a place to drink; it was a place to be. The kind of space that fuels group chats, fills camera rolls, and cements a brand into the festival’s cultural memory.

"Music has always been a big part of our DNA. In the last few years, we've tried to hone in on that territory a bit more and really focus in on music as a focus area for us from a cultural point of view, not just through the talent partnerships that we cultivate and do, but also through some of the festival experiences that we create."
D-J Hageman, VP Brand Marketing, PATRÓN Tequila.

A Moment Made for Lolla

Fans stepped into a space where panoramic views met premium photo moments. Three bars poured the Headliner Margarita. Vinyl DJs kept the energy high. Every corner was built to be both a hangout and a backdrop.

The Hacienda hit peak buzz when PATRÓN teamed up with Two Friends for a surprise pop-up set that turned the space into a margarita-fueled dancefloor. The connection didn’t end when the music stopped — Hacienda PATRÓN also showed up in Two Friends’ latest music video, carrying the vibe from Grant Park straight into fans’ playlists.

Beyond Grant Park

Lollapalooza was just one stop on the Hacienda’s tour. This multi-year partnership will take the build to some of the country’s most anticipated festivals — from Tortuga and Dreamville Fest to Shaky Knees, Austin City Limits Music Festival, and EDC Orlando.

“We're able to reach a huge amount of consumers, create fantastic experiences with our new kind of experiential build, the Hacienda that we've developed, and serve a lot of cocktails. At our most recent Dreamville experience, we served over 27 ,000 tequila cocktails over the two days."
D-J Hageman, VP Brand Marketing, PATRÓN Tequila.

Why It Worked

By rooting itself in Lollapalooza’s culture and connecting with fans through live music, a surprise performance, stunning design, and premium cocktails, Hacienda PATRÓN didn’t just show up — it became a must-visit destination. And with more stops ahead, this era for PATRÓN is only getting louder.
