Lollapalooza 2026 Highlights: History-Making SB19, Surprises on the Main Stage, and Star-Studded Guests

Lollapalooza 2026 delivered a packed weekend of standout moments in Chicago: SB19 became the first all-Filipino group to perform at the festival; Slayyyter earned a late-main-stage slot with a high-energy set; Lorde headlined the opener and Charli XCX joined for a remix on Friday (with Charli also headlining later in the weekend); Smashing Pumpkins brought out Olivia Rodrigo, Yungblud, and Melissa Auf der Maur for a nostalgia-filled climax; Beabadoobee, Sienna Spiro, Olivia Dean, and other artists offered memorable performances, even as Saturday rain caused some delays and shortened sets.
