Lollapalooza has just unveiled its 2026 line-up for its four-day spectacle taking place from July 30 to August 2 at Grant Park, Chicago.

The flagship iteration returns to its regular Chicago home with an eclectic line-up of over 150 artists traversing indie, pop, electronic, rock, and hip-hop across eight stages.

On the electronic front, the festival serves up an exhilarating buffet of artists set to get ravers moving from start to finish with an arsenal of boundary-pushing sounds and infectious rhythms.

Sifting through the card, names from the electronic spectrum include tech-house magician John Summit, EDM trio Major Lazer, ‘Closer’ fame The Chainsmokers, future bass titan Alison Wonderland, house/techno great KETTAMA, masked maverick Boris Brejcha, techno staple Eli Brown, disco-house act DJ Trixie Mattel, deep house maestro Duke Dumont, retro house artist Max Styler, electro-house producer Boys Noize, returning house act Dombresky, and trailblazing Australian producers Ninajirachi and HAAi.
