Wrigley Field is no longer the hottest Chicago destination this summer.
Lollapalooza just announced their 2026 lineup and — please excuse the slang — it’s straight fire.
From July 30 through Aug. 2, the biggest names in pop, EDM, K-Pop, will descend upon the Second’s City Grant Park for four days of fun, mayhem and dance. Lots of dance.
Sitting atop this year’s stacked bill are Blackpink icon Jennie, beat-dropper John Summit, “Brat” hitmaker Charli XCX, party-starter Tate McRae and alt-pop trailblazer Lorde.
They’ll be joined by big names like Olivia Dean, The Smashing Pumpkins, The XX, Geese and Turnstile.
Sombr, The Neighbourhood, Yungblud, Beabadoobee and Ethel Cain round out the massive slate of performers.
In total, over 170 (!) artists are scheduled to take the eight stages over the long, late summer weekend under the Chicago skyline.
As of now, food vendors have yet to be revealed for this year’s festivities but last year’s Lolla had mouth-watering purveyors like Bad Johnny’s Wood-Fired Pizza, Boxcar Betty’s Fried Chicken, Broken English Taco Pub, Eiffel Waffle and Ida’s Artisan Ice Cream and Treats on the grounds.
“For one week, Chicago doesn’t just host Lollapalooza – it becomes Lollapalooza. The festival’s wristband isn’t just your ticket to the park; it’s your passport to the city. Museums offer special deals, local coffee shops whip up Olivia Rodrigo–inspired purple drinks, and after shows spill into venues all across town,” Melodic Mag wrote in an enthusiastic review of the 2025 edition.
Single and multi-day Lollapalooza passes officially go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 19 at 11 am CST through Ticketmaster but are available now on trusted secondary market sites like StubHub and Vivid Seats.
We only recommend sites with a 100% buyer guarantee, so you know your transaction is safe and your tickets will arrive on time.
