In addition, Luke Combs will make history as Lolla’s first-ever country closer, TWICE will be the first female K-pop group to headline Lollapalooza Chicago, and Korn will return to the Lolla stage for the first time since 1997.
Every year, Lollapalooza sets the bar with a deeply diverse musical lineup, giving music lovers a front row look at the next generation of rock and roll legends. This year’s must-see all-stars on the rise include Mk.gee, Mau P, Barry Can’t Swim, Magdalena Bay, and Fujii Kaze, while Alex Warren, Gigi Perez, Bilmuri, and floweroflove serve as this year’s class of breakout performers.

Lollapalooza is thrilled to partner with the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras (CYSO), where students helped unveil this year’s lineup through an exciting blend of contemporary and classical music. Lolla takes pride in showcasing the talent and dedication of young musicians in Chicago, who arranged and performed renditions of songs by Olivia Rodrigo, Korn, Doechii, and Dom Dolla, that were shared on Lolla’s socials in advance of today’s lineup announcement. CYSO will also perform at this year’s festival. Through initiatives like this, Lollapalooza aims to inspire the next generation of musicians by providing unique opportunities to foster their talent.
Lollapalooza’s contribution to the City of Chicago leads all festivals in the region. While the festival takes place over a four-day weekend in the summer, organizers strive to deliver meaningful engagement programs and create positive impacts in the city year-round. Lollapalooza works to support the local community in various areas, with a focus on introducing Chicago youth to creative opportunities in the festival industry and reducing barriers to arts access in Chicago schools. Reaffirming this commitment, organizers created the Lollapalooza Arts Education Fund, a $2.2M donation to support arts and education in Chicago Public Schools. In addition, Lollapalooza partners with local nonprofits including After School Matters, Community Goods, and Yollocalli to integrate art by Chicago youth into the festival, hosts the annual Lollapalooza & Sueños Festival Job Fair to increase access to careers in the festival industry, and engages with the Chicago arts and culture community year-round through ongoing partnerships with Festival University, Kennedy King College, Teens in the Park Fest, Black Culture Week, and Musically Fed. As a part of Lollapalooza’s commitment to community relations, the festival has also improved communal spaces by funding the Grant Park Tennis and Pickleball Court Project.
Lollapalooza, an Illinois Sustainability Award recipient, is committed to sustainable festival practices in the field, behind the scenes and through the preservation of the ever-beautiful Grant Park. This commitment is integrated into every area of the park, from recycling and composting to eco-friendly service items at Chow Town, and Hydration Stations that provide patrons free, filtered water, diverting millions of plastic bottles from the landfill. Additionally, Lollapalooza uses biodiesel for all generators and equipment and funds renewable energy projects through carbon offset purchases. In 2024 alone, close to 22,000 pounds of material was recovered and reused through this program.
In 2024, Lollapalooza made history as the first major U.S. festival to use a hybrid battery system for the main stage, including all audio, lighting, video and stage production, minimizing the run time of biodiesel generators providing significant fuel and emissions savings while furthering the commitment to its ever-expanding sustainability efforts.
Lollapalooza continues to elevate its global commitment to protecting the planet through its partnership with Re:wild, a nonprofit that has protected more than 400 million acres of wild lands around the world, benefitting more than 30,000 species. Lollapalooza will support Re:wild and its local partners by providing an onsite activation to speak directly with music fans and financially supporting Re:wild projects at Lolla festivals around the world. One of the most impactful ways individuals can help protect wildlife is by adopting a plant-based diet. In 2024, Re:wild partnered with Lollapalooza Chicago to expand plant-based food options for festivalgoers. Building on that success, Plant Base will return in 2025 with an even wider selection. Additionally, Re:wild will be back on the festival grounds with an engaging, interactive activation, further inspiring fans to take action for the planet.

Rolling Loud Announce Move To Orlando For 2026
Rolling Loud will stage its only U.S. festival of 2026 in Orlando, Florida, marking a notable shift for the long-running hip-hop event. Organizers announced that Rolling Loud Orlando will take place May 8–10 at Camping World Stadium, ending a decade-long tradition that kept the festival anchored in Miami.
The lineup has not been revealed, but the festival is promising a full week of “exclusive events and experiences” tied to the main weekend. Presale tickets go on sale Thursday, January 8, at 10 a.m. ET through Rolling Loud’s website, with prices starting at $249. A layaway option will be offered with a $9.99 deposit.
The Orlando dates come after years of Rolling Loud operating multiple U.S. festivals in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, and New York. That approach has now been scaled back. Outside the U.S., Rolling Loud will still host events in Sydney and Melbourne on March 7 and 8, following recent global expansions that included the brand’s first festival in India last November. Organizers have already confirmed a return to India in November 2026.
Festival co-founder and co-CEO Matt Zingler said the move reflects a broader reset for the brand. In a statement shared via Billboard, Zingler explained that the goal was to bring Rolling Loud back to a summer schedule and build a single U.S. event without trade-offs. He pointed to Orlando’s accessibility and infrastructure as key reasons for the decision, adding that the festival aims to follow where hip-hop culture is headed, not where it has already been.
Rolling Loud began in Miami in 2015, founded by Florida natives Zingler and Tariq Cherif. What started as a one-day event in Wynwood quickly grew into a major destination festival, moving through larger venues before landing at Hard Rock Stadium by 2018. By the end of the decade, Rolling Loud Miami regularly drew crowds exceeding 200,000, becoming one of the city’s biggest music events and a major economic driver.
Over the years, the festival has hosted performances from artists such as Travis Scott, Future, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, A$AP Rocky, 21 Savage, Latto, and Kodak Black, while building a reputation for spotlighting rising artists alongside established stars. The brand later expanded across North America and overseas, helping solidify hip-hop’s place at the center of the global festival circuit.
News of the move to Orlando has drawn mixed reactions online, particularly from South Florida fans who viewed Rolling Loud as a fixture of Miami’s cultural calendar. The change signals a clear new chapter for the festival as it enters its second decade, with organizers betting on a leaner U.S. footprint and a broader international focus.
