The highly anticipated 2026 lineup for Lollapalooza is here! The festival takes place at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois. Headliners, performers, and ticket prices for both general admission and VIP have been released. These headliners have had an undeniable impact on music in recent years, and fans can look forward to all of these artists taking the festival stage!
