The lineup for Lollapalooza 2026 is out now, featuring headlining acts like Charli XCX, Lorde, John Summit, The XX, and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Festival season 2026 is upon us, and another year of Lollapalooza is coming soon. This year’s edition is gearing up to be another memorable year, with massive headliners and a strong undercard scheduled to perform in downtown Chicago.
Last year’s Lollapalooza [review] had everything that makes this festival so special year after year. Expect another four days of a diverse slate of music surrounded by the beautiful Chicago skyline this August in Grant Park.
Lollapalooza 2026 Lineup [tickets]
Headlining Lollapalooza 2026 is Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, and Olivia Dean.
It’s definitely a top four that will attract plenty of young festivalgoers from across Chicagoland and beyond. Once an alternative rock festival, Lollapalooza has now expanded to cover all popular styles of music. The XX, The Smashing Pumpkins, Turnstile, beabadoobee, and The Neighbourhood are a few bands topping the 2026 Lollapalooza lineup.
It wouldn’t be Lollapalooza without electronic music, and the 2026 lineup includes plenty of house music and more.
Hometown hero John Summit is a headliner for the first time, while other massive names like The Chainsmokers, Major Lazer, Empire of the Sun, Disco Lines, and Worship (DNB) will perform each evening at Lolla 2026. More notable DJs and electronic artists include Kettama, Boris Brejcha, Eli Brown, Duke Dumont, Max Styler, Whethan, AYYBO, SIDEPIECE, Dombresky, MPH, Riordan, and Boys Noize.
Lollapalooza is a place to see both the world’s biggest artists and discover new and emerging talent.
The 2026 undercard features plenty of rising names and even more that are ready to be discovered. Artists like Ninajirachi, Frost Children, and Snow Strippers provide an exciting twist to the lineup, while other interesting additions include Slayyyter, Cameron Whitcomb, OMNOM, AVELLO, MC4D, and Horsegiirl.
