Lollapalooza 2026: Charli XCX, Lorde, Tate McRae, and The Smashing Pumpkins to Headline
Charli XCX, Lorde, Tate McRae, and The Smashing Pumpkins are set to headline Lollapalooza 2026 in Chicago's Grant Park. The festival boasts a diverse lineup across eight stages.
Charli XCX, Lorde, and Tate McRae are headlining Lollapalooza 2026 in Chicago’s Grant Park this summer.
The four-day event will take place July 30 through Aug. 2. Joining the three pop stars are Olivia Dean, the XX, Jennie, John Summit, and hometown heroes, the Smashing Pumpkins, who haven’t played a Lolla show in the U.S. since 1994.
This year’s festival will feature over 100 artists across eight stages and spanning numerous genres. Other big names set to appear include Lil Uzi Vert, Turnstile, Sombr, Beabadoobee, Yungblud, Ethel Cain, Leon Thomas, Clipse, Zara Larsson, Geese, I-dle, Freddie Gibbs, Aespa, Wet Leg, Blood Orange, Suki Waterhouse, 5 Seconds of Summer, Audrey Hobert, Oklou, Horsegirl, Little Simz, CMAT, Boys Noize, Wolf Alice, Nettspend, and Mustard.
Presale tickets for Lollapalooza 2026 will be available starting Thursday, March 19, at 11 a.m. ET/10 a.m. CT, with the lowest-priced tickets available for the first hour. The public on-sale will begin at noon ET/11 a.m. CT. Full information is available on the Lollapalooza website.
For Charli, Lollapalooza is currently her only North American concert on the books for 2026, with the pop star otherwise only set to play the Reading and Leeds festivals in the U.K. Charli has spent much of the past two years on the road in support of her breakout album, Brat, though this year she’s focused more on film projects, including her own movie The Moment, and the soundtrack-score for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights.
As for McRae and Lorde, they’re also both headlining the Osheaga festival in Montreal (which, coincidentally, is taking place the exact same weekend as Lollapalooza). For Lorde, who released her most recent album, Virgin, last summer, it’s one of several North American festivals she’s set to play this summer, along with Governors Ball in New York and All Things Go in Toronto. McRae, meanwhile, has just Lolla and Osheaga on her itinerary after spending much of 2025 touring in support of So Close to What.
