Lollapalooza announced its daily lineup for the 2026 festival on March 19, following a rapid sellout of four-day ticket packages.
The announcement is significant for music fans who were unable to secure multi-day passes and are now looking at single- or two-day options. The festival, which will take place in Grant Park from July 30 to August 2, features over 100 bands performing across nine stages.
Four-day general admission, GA+, VIP, and Platinum tickets are already on waitlist status. However, four-day Lolla Insider tickets remain available at $29,000. One-day tickets start at $185 and two-day passes begin at $370 this year, reflecting a slight price increase compared to last year. Ticket options range from general admission to VIP and Platinum levels.
Headliners Lorde and John Summit will open the festival on Thursday. Friday’s main acts include Charlie XCX and Smashing Pumpkins, while Olivia Dean and Jennie headline Saturday. Tate McRae and The xx will close out the event on Sunday. Other performers scheduled for the Downtown stages include Lil Uzi Vert, Turnstile, Clipse, Geese, Sombr, The Neighbourhood, The Chainsmokers, Finn Wolfhard, Beabadoobee, Ethel Cain, Leon Thomas, Zara Larsson, Blood Orange, Suki Waterhouse, 5 Seconds of Summer, Hot Mulligan, DJ Trixie Mattel, horsegiirL, Sienna Spiro, Slayyyter as well as K-pop acts aespa, I-dle and CORTIS.
It has become common for Lollapalooza’s four-day passes to sell out quickly each year. Fans often express frustration about headliners performing simultaneously at different ends of Grant Park. Social media comments regarding this year’s Thursday night schedule included: “Lorde the same night as John Summit is diabolical,” “lorde and john summit same time ur kidding” and “Lorde and John summit on the same day is so rude bruh.”
More information about ticketing options and the full daily lineup can be found through official channels.
