On 7/07 Day—a reference to "LOL" upside down—L.O.L. Surprise! launched L.O.L. Surprise! Music Festival, a yearlong anniversary celebration that channels the energy, creativity, and culture of music festivals. L.O.L. Surprise! Music Festival features artist collaborations, entertainment, new music, fan experiences, and in signature fashion, tons of surprises.
Inspired by memorable performances and outfits sported by global icons Jennie and Rosalía, L.O.L. Surprise! Music Festival introduces collectible L.O.L. Surprise! Music Festival Headliners Tots and O.M.G. Music Festival Fashion Dolls. While every L.O.L. Surprise! Music Festival Headliners Tot is packaged in a heart-shaped ball with a keychain, artist mini poster and special reveals, the O.M.G. Music Festival Fashion Dolls don stage-ready looks, fashion-forward accessories and exclusive artist posters.
