Victoria and David Beckham's son, Cruz, will make his Lollapalooz debut. His rock band, Beckham and The Breakers, announced their arrival on the music scene in June.
Dan Ewins, Telmo Seixas, and Dario Scotti are the other members in the UK band.
Cruz has made no secret of the fact that he wants to be the family's next big musician. The band's indie rock sound is a lot different from the pop sound that made the Spice Girls famous.
However, early reviews have been fairly positive, with The Guardian praising Cruz's guitar skills in 'Better Times'
"Beckham proves himself to be a characterful guitarist, peeling off a fuzz-bomb solo that’s nimble and melodically savvy. A good-looking kid who can play? It’s worked before," the publication wrote.
Cruz Beckham and the Breakers debuted several new songs, including 'Lick the Toad', 'Optics' and 'For Your Love', during their recent shows.
Posh and Becks are certainly proud. The power couple have been sharing the band's music all over their socials with David flying to England to watch his first show in Manchester.
"The proudest thing that I am of you is the person and man that you have become , you are kind , considerate and fiercely loyal to your family, friends and everyone around you which makes you a very special person," Victoria gushed on his 21st birthday in February.
She shared a clip of her youngest son singing 'Don't Stop Me Now' by Queen as a child.
"You are on your own journey in life and you are working hard and having fun which is what life is all about."
