Charli XCX, Lorde and Tate McRae have been announced as the headliners for the 2026 edition of Lollapalooza.

The hitmakers are set to travel to Chicago in July after being confirmed among the top acts for this year's instalment of the long-running U.S. festival.

They will be joined at the top of the bill by Olivia Dean, Jennie, John Summit, The xx and The Smashing Pumpkins.

After the announcement, Greedy singer McRae took to Instagram to share the line-up, writing, "Headlining lolla Chicago. Freaking cant wait 2 see u guys !!!!!!!!!"

Meanwhile, Man I Need hitmaker Dean wrote on her Instagram Stories, "We headlining!"

The event will mark the first time Charli, McRae, Jennie, Dean, The xx and Summit have headlined Lollapalooza. Lorde previously topped the bill in 2017, though her set was cut short due to extreme weather conditions.

In addition to the headliners, the four-day festival will also feature performances from Yungblud, Lil Uzi Vert, The Chainsmokers, Wet Leg, Jade Thirlwall, 5 Seconds of Summer, Sombr, Wolf Alice and Fakemink, among many others.

Like previous years, Lollapalooza 2026 will take place at Grant Park, with more than 100 artists performing across eight stages.

The announcement comes days after the festival wrapped its Chile edition, which featured headline sets from Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Lorde, Tyler, the Creator, Chappell Roan, Skrillex and Lewis Capaldi.

Lollapalooza 2026 will take place from 30 July to 2 August.
