Lollapalooza is gearing up for another massive summer takeover, and its 2026 lineup leans hard into pop’s current vanguard while keeping one foot planted in alt-rock legacy. Topping the bill this year are Charli XCX, The xx, The Smashing Pumpkins—who notably headlined the traveling 1994 edition—alongside Lorde, Tate McRae, Olivia Dean, John Summit, and Jennie.
Beyond the headliners, the depth of the lineup reflects Lolla’s ongoing balancing act between indie credibility, rap heavy-hitters, and left-field electronic acts. Names like Turnstile, Ethel Cain, beabadoobee, Geese, Clipse, and Freddie Gibbs sit comfortably alongside pop-adjacent acts like MUNA, Wet Leg, and Lil Uzi Vert. Elsewhere, the bill stretches from the sleek R&B of Blood Orange and Amber Mark to the snarling post-punk of Viagra Boys and the art-pop theatrics of Little Simz.
Further down the poster, there’s no shortage of buzzy names and rising acts—Wolf Alice, Frost Children, Oklou, and Wunderhorse among them—alongside a grab bag of genre outliers that speak to Lollapalooza’s anything-goes sprawl.
The 2026 edition of Lollapalooza returns to Grant Park from July 30 through August 2. Passes go on sale Thursday, March 19 at 11 a.m. CT, with a presale kicking off an hour earlier.
