The Lollapalooza 2026 lineup is out and Chicago is getting a homecoming 32 years in the making. The Smashing Pumpkins are headlining, and they have not played Lolla since 1994, back when it was still a touring festival. Billy Corgan's band, on a Chicago stage, closing out Grant Park. That is the whole story right there.
The rest of the top line is stacked too. Charli XCX, Lorde, Olivia Dean, Tate McRae, JENNIE, John Summit, and The xx round out the headliners. JENNIE makes history as the first solo K-pop headliner, and The xx are ending a three-year hiatus.
Then you scroll down and it keeps going. Turnstile, Yungblud, 5 Seconds of Summer, Lil Uzi Vert, Beabadoobee, aespa, Clipse, Ethel Cain, Wet Leg, Little Simz, MUNA, The Chainsmokers. More than 170 artists across eight stages, July 30 through August 2.
Presale started March 19 and this one will not stay cheap for long. Four days in Grant Park with the Pumpkins closing it out at home. Say less.
