Lollapalooza is firing on high ambition in their 25th anniversary celebration, with an all-star lineup including bill-toppers Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, LCD Soundsystem, J. Cole, Lana Del Rey, Future, Ellie Goulding, Major Lazer and Disclosure. The massive lineup also features performances from G-Eazy, Chris Stapleton, Leon Bridges, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, Miike Snow, Kurt Vile & The Violators and much more. To commemorate this milestone anniversary, Lollapalooza will bring four full days of music and over 170 performances to Chicago’s beautiful Grant Park, July 28- 31. View the full lineup and lineup-by-day here.
In a legacy celebration, acts from the early days of Lollapalooza will return to the stage including Jane’s Addiction, fronted by Lollapalooza creator and founder Perry Farrell - with a “set full of surprises,” as well as Red Hot Chili Peppers, who headlined the festival in 1991 and 1992 respectively.
“I’ve immersed myself in this experience for 25 years now, but it’s in a constant state of evolution, living and breathing,” says Perry Farrell. “As long as we always try to find the eye of the hurricane, the epicenter of the music that is truly connecting right now, I think we can go for another 25 years! And we’ll do it by always making sure to keep it fresh. Four days this year, over 170 of the best bands, including acts from all over the world as the music community connects globally more than ever; the best sound, staging and lights. We promise the festival will always strive to be the ‘lifeblood’ of the music scene.”
This year’s collection of fresh faces include ZHU, Aurora, Bryson Tiller, Oh Wonder and Låpsley as well as heavy-hitting female artists including HAIM, Grimes, Alessia Cara, Lindsey Stirling, Kehlani, Melanie Martinez, and a highly anticipated return from Halsey following last year’s breakthrough performance.
Flosstradamus, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Duke Dumont, GRiZ, Big Gigantic, Marshmello and more will bring the beats for Lollapalooza’s beloved dance music fans.
