Broader context
Lollapalooza operates worldwide, with editions in South America and Europe. The Chicago announcement follows the festival’s Argentina edition, which wrapped this week with Sabrina Carpenter closing the event — the same artist who headlined the U.S. festival in 2025.
Last year’s U.S. lineup was similarly star-studded, featuring artists across hip-hop, pop and rock, including TWICE, Tyler, the Creator, A$AP Rocky, Rüfüs du Sol and Korn. That variety has become a hallmark for Lollapalooza as it tries to draw both younger concertgoers and longtime festival fans.
