Lollapalooza 2026 officially has its lineup with some of the biggest women in contemporary pop as headliners.

Charli XCX, Lorde and past Complex cover star Jennie will be headlining the Chicago music festival, held at Grant Park from July 30-August 2. Fellow headliners include recent Grammy winner Olivia Dean, Tate McRae, The Smashing Pumpkins, The XX and John Summit.

Last year’s bill was lead by Tyler, the Creator, Gracie Abrams, Korn, Luke Combs, A$AP Rocky and more.

The four-day list of performances is stacked with acts sure to please fans of rap (Lil Uzi Vert, Little Simz, Clipse), rock (Turnstile, The Neighbourhood, 5 Seconds of Summer), R&B (Destin Conrad, Khamari, Justine Skye) and pop (Beabadoobee, Zara Larsson, Jade).

While Charli XCX released her meteoric sixth album Brat in 2024, Lorde and Jennie dropped their latest respective albums, Virgin and Ruby, last year. Both of the latter albums are available for purchase on Complex Shop, along with beanies, tees, sweatpants and other merch dedicated to Jennie’s solo debut.

The presale for this year’s Lollapalooza begins Thursday (March 19) at 10 a.m. CT, with lowest-price four day tickets being available for one hour.
