Who’s performing at Lollapalooza 2026?

Lollapalooza has unveiled its 2026 edition lineup featuring John Summit, Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, and more.

Lollapalooza is officially returning for summer 2026, and they’ve dropped another stacked lineup. Taking over Grant Park in Chicago from July 30 to August 2, it’s bringing a little bit of everything, including pop, indie, hip hop, and a strong wave of electronic. Somehow, the lineup just keeps getting better every year.

Headlining you’ve got Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, Olivia Dean, John Summit, Jennie, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The xx. It’s a super mixed bag in the best way, blending the most iconic names of every genre.

The undercard is where things really start to pop off, still packed with some of the biggest names in the industry. Lil Uzi Vert, Turnstile, The Neighbourhood, Yungblud, and Beabadoobee bring big crowd energy, alongside Ethel Cain, Empire of the Sun, and Major Lazer. You’ve also got K-pop group aespa and The Chainsmokers pulling in fans from all corners.

Dance music fans are in for a treat, per usual. Disco Lines, Alison Wonderland, Duke Dumont, Max Styler, and Dombresky give the lineup a strong electronic backbone. Add in Kettama, Eli Brown, Boris Brejcha, and Patrick Topping-style energy through artists like Hot Mulligan-adjacent crossover bookings, and it’s clear the festival isn’t ignoring the club scene.

Indie and alternative fans get plenty to work with as well. Bands like Wet Leg, Wolf Alice, The Story So Far, and Suki Waterhouse sit alongside newer names like Geese, Royel Otis vibes through similar artists, and Momma. There’s also a cool mix of rising acts like Audrey Hobert, Snow Strippers, and Between Friends.

Overall, Lollapalooza 2026 feels like one of the most well-rounded editions in recent years. It’s got big pop moments, underground credibility, and enough electronic talent to keep things moving all weekend. Whether you’re there for John Summit or The xx, there’s something on this lineup for everyone.

Hey everyone, I’m Neil! I first joined the dance community back in 2019 when my friend dragged me to Moonrise, my first-ever music festival, and I became hooked ever since. I like to dabble in most genres with my favorites being tech house and melodic techno. When it comes to studio output, Camelphat is part of my daily listening rotation and for a live performance, I’ll never miss a Solomun set. You can likely catch me on the dance floor somewhere in Brooklyn!
