Lollapalooza 2026 opens its gates today in Chicago's Grant Park. The festival, running from 30 July to 2 August, features more than 170 acts, with headliners including Lorde, John Summit, Charli XCX, The Smashing Pumpkins, Olivia Dean, Jennie, Tate McRae and The xx.
The event's partner portfolio includes T-Mobile, Bud Light, Allianz, Airbnb, PayPal, Venmo, Hulu, Toyota, Chase, Snapchat, Google Shopping, Coca-Cola and numerous other international brands.
A central element of visitor safety is the SafeFest system. Helpers in high-visibility clothing provide directions and help visitors find medical and security points. REVERB ambassadors take part in the sustainability programmes, supporting waste sorting, drinking-water refill stations, bike storage and visitor information.
The strength of Lollapalooza's model lies in the fact that sponsors don't just get simple advertising surfaces. Brands become built into the visitor experience in the form of payment, transport, sustainability, beauty, safety or entertainment services.
Summary
Lorde, John Summit, Charli XCX, Olivia Dean, Jennie and Tate McRae all perform at today's opening of Lollapalooza. The festival's safety and sustainability programmes are backed by several global brands.
