Lollapalooza revealed a stacked group of headliners for the festival’s 2026 edition, with Olivia Dean, Lorde, Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Smashing Pumpkins, Jennie and the XX all topping this year’s bill.
Lolla booked a diverse bill with acts that span from indie to mainstream pop, heavy rock and electronic. Below the headliners, some other notable artists include Lil Uzi Vert, Sombr, Zara Larrson, Turnstile, Clipse, Yungblud, Geese, Leon Thomas, Wet Leg, Aespa, the Chainsmokers and Muna. Among the more notable up-and-comers on this year’s lineup are Audrey Hobert, Sienna Spiro, Die Spitz, Adéla and Skye Newman.
Pre-sale for the festival starts this Thursday, with general admission prices starting at $399 this year. The most expensive offering — which includes exclusive front and side stage viewing at all the festival stages as well as a dedicated concierge and other VIP offerings — is listed for $29,000. This year’s festival will take place July 30 to August 2 at its usual Grant Park host venue in Chicago. After the pre-sale finishes Thursday, the festival said prices would increase for the general on sale, though it wasn’t specified what the prices would be.
Lollapalooza remains one of the biggest music festivals in the country, going back over 30 years to its origins with founder Perry Farrell of Jane’s Addiction, who originally started the fest as a farewell tour for the group. The flagship remains in Chicago, though Lollapalooza has also branched out to festivals around the world including Brazil, Chile and Germany.
