Lollapalooza was hit with a series of delays, with severe flooding pushing back several artists’ sets for the 2026 edition.

This year’s line-up spans multiple genres and eras, with some of the other big names including Geese, Wet Leg, Ethel Cain, Turnstile, Lil Uzi Vert, CMAT, Little Simz, Zara Larsson, Clipse, The Neighbourhood, Yungblud, Beabadoobee, Sombr, and Wolf Alice. The latter band played last night (August 1), however festival organisers announced on the day that the festival had been pushed back from 12 pm to 3 pm CT, leading to the cancellation of most of the sets that were scheduled within that three-hour window, with a few exceptions. K-pop group Cortis, who were moved to later on Saturday afternoon, performed for 40 minutes rather than their previously scheduled 50, while Wolf Alice’s initial hour-long set was also cut to 40 minutes.
