Lollapalooza on Tuesday announced its schedule, by day, for this summer’s four-day festival running July 30 to Aug. 2 in Grant Park.

Headliners for 2026 include Lorde and John Summit on the opening Thursday, Charli xcx and Smashing Pumpkins on Friday, Olivia Dean and Jennie of Blackpink on Saturday and Tate McRae and The xx on the closing Sunday.

 

Most tickets are sold out, with some one-day general admission and Platinum tickets available, as of Tuesday; more information on tickets and waitlists at lollapalooza.com/tickets.

Daily capacity inside the fences this summer will be 115,000 people, an attendance limit set after 2022’s fest as part of a 10-year contract extension with the city. Lollapalooza has an agreement to stay in Chicago through at least 2032. The festival is presented by Austin, Texas-based C3 Presents, a division of Live Nation.
