Festival season is just weeks away. While music lovers get their flower crowns and plans together, music festivals all over the world continue to drop their lineups. Last week, one of music’s most anticipated festivals of the season, Lollapalooza, revealed their 2026 lineup.
Stacked From Top To Bottom
The teams at Lollapalooza put together an amazing lineup stacked with talent across several genres of music. All the way from the headliners to the up and coming artists playing this year bring something for everyone.
Headlining the first day of the festival is Lorde and John Summit. This year marks Lorde’s return to Lollapalooza after her 2017 set was cut short after just three songs due to a storm that made everyone evacuate festival grounds. Also taking the stage on Thursday is Sombr, Empire of the Sun, Blood Orange and Wet Leg. All these incredible artists will set the tone for the rest of the weekend.
Friday will be headlined by Charli xcx and The Smashing Pumpkins. After an iconic run of Brat Summer, the 2026 festival season will be her first performance since the era came to an end. Fans are eager to see how the singer will follow up such an iconic run of shows. Friday is stacked with sets from Lil Uzi Vert, Zara Larson, Slayyyter and Horsegirl. On Friday, fans can catch a set from Not For Radio, the solo project from Maria Zardoya from The Marias. What’s not to love about the second day of Lolla?
Olivia Dean and Jennie take the stage on Saturday night at Lollapalooza. After a massive year for each artist, Dean and Jennie have become a festival must have on lineups all over the world. Saturday is bringing artists from all over onto the stage. Fans can catch sets from Wolf Alice, Leon Thomas, Alison Wonderland, Geese and so many more. Electronic music lovers can watch sets from Disco Lines, DJ Trixie Mattel, Max Styler, Whethan and Frost Children.
Tate McCrae and The XX will bring the weekend to a close on Sunday. Also joining them that day will be Turnstile, The Chainsmokers, Muna, beabadoobee and so many more talented artists.
The fun doesn’t stop there. This year Lollapalooza booked festival staples like Duke Dumont, Yungblud, Mustard and Suki Waterhouse. Fans can also catch artists on the rise like Between Friends, Destin Conrad, Amber Mark, New Constellations and more.
