Lollapalooza 2026 Announce Lineup with: Charli XCX, Lorde, Smashing Pumpkins, Jennie and More
Chicago’s biggest summer festival is back, and this year’s edition goes heavy on pop while still leaving room for indie, rap, rock and electronic fans. Lollapalooza returns to Grant Park from July 30 to August 2, 2026, with a lineup that feels packed from top to bottom.
At the top of the bill, Charli XCX, Lorde and Tate McRae lead a group of headliners that reflects how broad the festival has become. They’re joined by Olivia Dean, the xx, Jennie, John Summit and hometown legends The Smashing Pumpkins, who haven’t played a U.S. Lollapalooza in more than three decades. It’s a mix that jumps between hyperpop, alt-pop, K-pop, house and ‘90s alt-rock without hesitation.
That variety carries into the undercard. Indie favorites like Wet Leg and Wolf Alice sit alongside rap names such as Clipse and Freddie Gibbs. Pop and dance are well represented with Aespa, Zara Larsson and The Chainsmokers, while artists like Ethel Cain, Blood Orange and Little Simz add depth for fans looking beyond the main stage.
Elsewhere on the lineup, names like Lil Uzi Vert, Turnstile, Beabadoobee, Geese, Muna and The Story So Far help round out a bill that barely slows down. Electronic acts including DJ Trixie Mattel, Boris Brejcha and Eli Brown add to a strong dance presence, while bands like Turnstile and Geese keep guitars in the conversation. In total, more than 100 artists are set to perform across eight stages.
Tickets follow the usual Lollapalooza rollout. Presale begins March 19 at 10 a.m. CST, with the lowest prices available for the first hour. General on-sale starts at 11 a.m., with four-day GA passes beginning at $399 and higher-tier options climbing from there.
Daily schedules are still on the way, which means set-time conflicts are coming. For now, the focus is simple: start planning, pace yourself, and get ready for four very long days in Grant Park.

All Things Go DC Reveals Full 2026 Lineup with Hayley Williams, Mitski, Brandi Carlile, Lola Young, Muna, Zara Larsson, And Many More
The DC-area edition of All Things Go Festival is back for its 12th year, and the 2026 lineup is stacked. Headliners include Hayley Williams, Brandi Carlile, Zara Larsson, and returning favorites Mitski, MUNA, Lola Young, and Ethel Cain.
The three-day festival runs September 25–27 at Merriweather Post Pavilion. It’s been selling out for five straight years, and this lineup explains why.
Beyond the headliners, the bill pulls from all corners of indie, pop, and alternative. Expect sets from The Beaches, Rico Nasty, Magdalena Bay, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Father John Misty, Wolf Alice, and Tinashe, plus a long list of rising names. One curveball this year: comedian Robby Hoffman joins the lineup.
Hayley Williams and Brandi Carlile are making their first appearances at the festival. Mitski returns as a headliner after her widely talked-about 2022 set. MUNA are basically family at this point, clocking their fourth appearance. Lola Young is back again after building momentum over the past two years.
Tickets go on presale here May 6 at 10 a.m. ET, with general sale starting May 7.
Elsewhere, the festival continues to grow. A New York lineup reveal is coming soon for Forest Hills Stadium, and the Toronto edition already has Lorde, Kesha, The Beaches, and Wet Leg set to headline in June.

All Things Go 2026 Reveal Hayley Williams and Mitski Leading D.C. Lineup
All Things Go is rolling back out across multiple cities in 2026, and the Washington, D.C.–area edition is starting to take shape with two major names already locked in: Hayley Williams and Mitski.
The festival returns to Merriweather Post Pavilion from September 25 to 27, expanding into a three-day event with more than 40 artists expected across multiple stages. This year continues the festival’s steady growth from a D.C.-based event into a multi-city run, with stops in New York and Toronto happening.
So far, the early headliner reveal already sets a clear tone: big voices, emotionally heavy songwriting, and artists with cult-like fanbases.
For Mitski, the appearance stands out. She’s been selective about touring around her recent album The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, and previously said she wasn’t planning a traditional, full-scale tour cycle. That makes a festival slot like All Things Go feel intentional.
Hayley Williams, meanwhile, is deep into what fans have been calling “The Hayley Williams Show” era. The Paramore frontwoman has been staging a series of special headline performances in 2026, pulling from her solo catalog (Petals for Armor, Flowers for Vases / descansos, and beyond) with a loose, unpredictable format that leaves room for deep cuts and one-off moments. Her All Things Go set will be one of a handful of these appearances, which have leaned more intimate and artist-driven than a standard tour run.
The pairing makes sense for All Things Go. The festival has built a reputation around female-forward and artist-first lineups, often spotlighting acts that thrive on storytelling and strong fan connection.
The rest of the D.C. lineup is expected to drop May 4, with a presale starting May 6. A New York lineup announcement is set to follow around the same time, keeping the festival’s multi-city rollout tightly synced. Head to All Things Go’s website for more information
If the first two names are any hint, this year’s edition is leaning into artists that pull people in and keep them there.
