Two Friends & Hacienda PATRÓN Turn Lollapalooza into a Margarita Fueled Dancefloor
PATRÓN Tequila pulled off one of the most unexpected and talked-about moments of Lollapalooza weekend. On Friday night, tucked inside their two-story Hacienda PATRÓN space, the electronic duo Two Friends showed up unannounced and turned a branded activation into a full-blown party. A few hundred lucky festivalgoers found themselves in the right place at the right time, what started as a casual stop for a cocktail turned into a surprise DJ set that lit up the night.
The Hacienda itself felt less like a corporate space and more like a hidden rooftop bar in Mexico City. Warm lighting, vinyl spinning in the background, and the unmistakable scent of lime and tequila in the air. People were already vibing when the set started, margaritas in hand, not fully realizing who had just stepped behind the decks. Then it clicked. Two Friends were here. And just like that, the energy in the room shifted.
Everyone was sipping on PATRÓN’s festival-only Headliner Margarita. It was that drink you didn’t know you needed. Tequila, orange liqueur, pineapple juice, lime, a Tajín rim, and a lime wedge that made it all feel a little extra. Simple. Spicy. Photogenic as hell. The kind of drink you raise during a beat drop and instantly want to recreate at home.
This wasn’t some overproduced brand moment. The whole thing unfolded in a laid-back way, which only made it better. The crowd wasn’t packed in like sardines. People had space to move, dance, and just exist without fighting for a view. The DJs kept it loose. A few remixes, some crowd-pleasers, and plenty of smiles from behind the booth.
PATRÓN is doing more than showing up to festivals. They’re showing up with taste. This set at Lolla is part of a bigger festival presence they’ve launched across the country. Dreamville. Tortuga. Austin City Limits. They’re not just plastering logos everywhere, they’re creating actual spaces where people want to hang. Hacienda PATRÓN isn’t about slapping tequila bottles on a bar. It’s about making people feel like they’ve stumbled into something special.
And that’s what happened here. People didn’t plan to be at a Two Friends set. They were just grabbing a drink and got pulled into a moment.
That’s the magic of festivals when they’re done right. It’s not always the headliner on the main stage. Sometimes it’s the tequila-fueled dance party that no one saw coming.
