Music culture · 2026
A music lollipop sounds like a novelty at first. In 2026, Lollipop Star helped turn the idea into a conversation spanning consumer technology, late-night television, artist collaborations, and music festivals.
Lollipop Star at CES 2026
CES is known for revealing new technology, but Lollipop Star introduced something few visitors expected to find on the show floor: a real lollipop that lets people experience music through bone conduction.
At CES 2026, Lollipop Star presented artist-linked music lollipops featuring Ice Spice, Akon, and Armani White. Each release paired flavour, audio, and artist identity in one small product, giving visitors a different way to think about both candy and music merchandise.
The product stood out because it brought together categories that do not usually meet at a technology show: confectionery, audio, and artist culture. Visitors could see the product, try it directly, and understand its audio concept through a short, hands-on experience.
Media coverage and video demonstrations
The CES debut attracted broad media attention. Technology, music, lifestyle, and entertainment outlets published articles and video demonstrations explaining how the lollipop works and why it was different from a conventional speaker or headphone product.
MusicRadar, AS, and GlobalSpec were among the outlets covering the launch.
Linus Sebastian Brings Lollipop Star to Jimmy Fallon
The story moved beyond CES when Linus Sebastian brought the Lollipop Star music lollipop to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Linus invited Jimmy Fallon and guests including Marcello Hernández to try the lollipop on air. At first, the idea sounded difficult to believe: how could a piece of candy play music without headphones? Once they experienced the vibration through their teeth and recognized the audio, the reaction quickly shifted from skepticism to surprise.
The segment made the product easy to understand. Rather than relying on a technical explanation of bone conduction, it showed the first-time response of people discovering that a lollipop could carry music. Clips from the show were widely shared online, and the attention was followed by a rapid sell-through of the music lollipop on the Lollipop Star website.

From CES to Coachella—and Beyond
After CES and the Jimmy Fallon appearance, Lollipop Star brought the music lollipop into the world of live music and festivals.
At Coachella 2026, Lollipop Star created an interactive activation where festival-goers could experience artist-linked music lollipops connected to AVA MAX, Anyma, Akon, and other artists. After enjoying a live set, visitors could take away a more unusual kind of festival item: a candy product that paired flavour with a music memory.
Anyma’s Coachella appearance also included a music moment with LISA. Lollipop Star’s Anyma release and the Anyma–LISA performance were separate collaborations, but both contributed to the wider conversation around the festival.

Why Artist Collaborations Matter
Lollipop Star’s artist collaborations make the music lollipop more than a technology demonstration. Different editions give fans a reason to choose a lollipop based on music taste, visual style, flavour, or collectability.
More importantly, a music lollipop offers a new type of artist merchandise. Traditional fan products—such as hoodies, T-shirts, posters, and vinyl records—are meaningful, but they are usually enjoyed privately or displayed after purchase. A Lollipop Star music lollipop is designed to be tried in the moment and shared with someone else.
It turns a personal interest in an artist into an easy social experience. Giving someone a lollipop and asking them to hear a song through their teeth creates an immediate reaction, a story, and often a reason to share the experience online. In that way, the product can carry an artist’s music beyond the usual limits of conventional merchandise.
