Lollapalooza, the largest and most well-known festival in Chicago, has announced its 2026 lineup, which features some of the biggest names in EDM. It is one of the largest music festivals in the world, with over 400,000 attendees per year across four days full of music in Grant Park.
The festival features the iconic Perry’s Stage, which is dedicated to EDM across all four days. This is where the majority of EDM artists perform; however, this year, world-renowned, Chicago-area native John Summit is headlining the festival at the Bud Light Stage rather than playing at Perry’s. John Summit is known for his unique take on house music that has been heavily influenced by his Chicago upbringing. He has sold out massive stadiums worldwide and runs his own highly successful record label, Experts Only. Known for his high-energy performances and massive fan base, his presence at the main stage of the festival is extremely exciting for Chicago’s house community.
Also performing across the weekend are major electronic acts like The Chainsmokers, Alison Wonderland, and Discolines. The lineup also features a massive focus on specific dance sub-genres, bringing techno and tech-house artists like Boris Brejcha, Eli Brown, and Boys Noize to the stages. The iconic UK drum and bass supergroup WORSHIP is also featured in the lineup and will perform on Day 1. WORSHIP features the talented Sub Focus, Dimension, 1991, and Culture Shock. This lineup shows how Lollapalooza is highlighting a wide variety of artists and subgenres of EDM.
These electronic artists will be performing alongside major pop headliners Charli XCX, Lorde, and Olivia Dean. Rap sensation Lil Uzi Vert is also set to take the stage on Day 2 of the festival at the T-Mobile stage. This mix of genres creates an amazing experience for fans and highlights a wide variety of different genres across many unique stages. No matter what taste in music fans have, there truly is something for everyone in this lineup.
Every year, Lollapalooza takes place at Grant Park in downtown Chicago, Illinois. This year, the four-day festival will take place from July 30 to August 2. 4-Day tickets, along with single-day Thursday, Friday, and Saturday GA tickets are already on the waitlist, but Sunday passes are still available.
