The four-day Lollapalooza music festival will be July 30 to Aug. 2 in Grant Park on Chicago’s lakefront, with 100-plus bands on eight stages.

A limited number of discounted 4-DAY tickets will go on presale at 10 a.m. Thursday; sign up at lollapalooza.com/tickets. The public on-sale begins at 11 a.m. The schedule of music acts by day is expected at a later date.

Daily capacity inside the fences this summer will be 115,000 people, an attendance limit set after 2022’s fest as part of a 10-year contract extension with the city. Lollapalooza has an agreement to stay in Chicago through at least 2032. The festival is presented by Austin, Texas-based C3 Presents, a division of Live Nation.

Charli XCX last played Lollapalooza in 2022, Tate McRae in 2024. Chicago’s own Smashing Pumpkins last headlined in 1994, though they played Riot Fest in 2021.

Not for Radio and Suki Waterhouse were among those teased early via pictographs on Lollapalooza social media accounts. Waterhouse last played Lolla in 2023. Not for Radio is a solo project by María Zardoya, lead singer of the Marías — Zardoya announced the project from the stage at the end of last year’s festival when the Marías were a Day 4 closer.

The festival is introducing some new premium experiences this summer, including Northside Suites, Suites at Perry’s, and a Speakeasy Lounge.
