Charli XCX and Smashing Pumpkins Deliver Dual Show-Stoppers at Lollapalooza Day Two

Day Two of Lollapalooza 2026 in Chicago delivered a rain-soaked but electric night, with Charli XCX headlining the T-Mobile stage and Smashing Pumpkins headlining on the other side of Grant Park. XCX kicked off her tour behind Music, Fashion, Film with a high-energy set, while the Pumpkins leaned on Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Siamese Dream material and sprinkled in new tracks from Aghori Mhori Mei, plus surprise guests Yungblud and Olivia Rodrigo. The crowd stayed energetic through the rain, and Charli closed with a dramatic No One Lasts Forever as the night capped a memorable festival showcase.
