Lollapalooza 2026 Brings Four Days of Livestreams to Hulu and Disney+ With Major Headliners Fans Can Catch From Home
CHICAGO, IL — CHICAGO, IL — Lollapalooza 2026 is underway Thursday, and fans who are not in Grant Park do not have to miss the music festival’s biggest moments. This year’s livestream returns on Hulu and, for the first time, will also stream on Disney+.
The four-day broadcast will include performances, backstage interviews and other behind-the-scenes coverage, giving home viewers a front-row view of one of summer’s biggest live-music events.
How fans can stream the festival at home
Viewing Lollapalooza requires a Hulu or Disney+ subscription, according to the festival’s streaming plans. On Hulu, the event will be available on the Lollapalooza page inside the app.
Hulu says the livestream will run on two simultaneous channels, allowing viewers to switch between Channel 1 and Channel 2 when artists they want to see are performing at the same time.
The dates, the lineup and the genre mix
Lollapalooza runs from Thursday, July 30 through Sunday, Aug. 2. The festival will feature more than 170 artists across multiple stages and a broad mix of styles, including pop, rock, hip-hop, EDM, country, K-pop and indie.
This year’s headliners include Lorde, Charli XCX, JENNIE, Tate McRae, John Summit, Olivia Dean, The Smashing Pumpkins and The xx. Other names on the bill include Turnstile, The Chainsmokers, Lil Uzi Vert, MUNA, beabadoobee, aespa, YOASOBI and Major Lazer.
What to know before the livestream ends
One important detail for remote viewers: the livestream will not be available to replay after the festival ends. That means fans will need to watch live if they want to catch specific sets or special moments.
The expanded Disney+ availability marks a new streaming option for the annual Chicago event, while Hulu remains the place to follow the live performance coverage as it happens.
