New Zealand star Lorde, Olivia Dean and Charli XCX are just a few of the artists headlining Lollapalooza 2026, taking place in Chicago from July 30-August 2.

A stack of local artists have also been confirmed on the bill, including Empire of the Sun, 5 Seconds of Summer, Alison Wonderland, Spacey Jane, Ninajirachi and Ecca Vandal.

Per usual, Lollapalooza 2026 will take place at Chicago’s Grant Park with more than 100 artists performing across eight different stages. Presale for Lollapalooza starts on Thursday at 10 a.m. CT with a one-hour window for the lowest-price four-day tickets. Prices will increase at 11 a.m. CT when general on-sale begins.

The announcement of Lollapalooza 2026 comes just days after the festival wrapped its iteration in Chile, featuring headlining performances from Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Lorde, Tyler, the Creator, Chappell Roan, Skrillex, Lewis Capaldi and more.

Lollapalooza was launched as a touring festival in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell. It continued through 1997 before going on a hiatus and reemerging as another touring festival in 2003. By 2005, Lollapalooza had been reconfigured as a Chicago mainstay and, in the time since, has expanded internationally with editions in Berlin, Buenos Aires, Stockholm and Mumbai.
