The official Lollapalooza 2025 lineup has been revealed, featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Doechii, and Sabrina Carpenter as headliners, CBS News reports. The iconic music festival will take over Grant Park from July 31 to August 3, welcoming hundreds of thousands of music lovers worldwide.
This year’s Lollapalooza is set to deliver an exciting mix of top artists, featuring Tyler, The Creator, Luke Combs, Gracie Abrams, Cage the Elephant, Clairo, Djo, T-Pain, Foster the People, Sierra Ferrell, Dominic Fike, and Finneas. Fans are especially eager for Tyler, The Creator’s return after he withdrew from last year’s festival at the last minute, with Megan Thee Stallion stepping in to close out the first night in his place.
The lineup announcement sparked immediate excitement, with Lollapalooza’s Instagram post amassing over 25,000 likes within just 10 minutes. Presale tickets will go live on March 20 at 10 a.m. via the official Lollapalooza website, while the full day-by-day lineup is expected to be released later this spring.
Unforgettable performances and festival safety
Lollapalooza has long been known for its unforgettable performances, and last year was no exception. In 2024, Chappell Roan made history by drawing the largest daytime crowd ever recorded at the festival, despite not being a headliner.
While exact attendance numbers for her set remain unknown, approximately 110,000 attendees attended each festival day, with many speculating that her audience was among the biggest in Lollapalooza history.
With such massive crowds, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience remains a top priority for organizers. Hydration stations, medical tents, and Narcan demonstrations have played a key role in past events, providing festivalgoers with essential resources.
In 2024, police recorded only nine arrests, marking the lowest number in five years and reinforcing Lollapalooza’s reputation as a well-managed event. As anticipation builds for this year’s festival, organizers are expected to maintain these safety measures to uphold the event’s strong track record of crowd management and emergency preparedness.
Major celebrations paving the way for Lollapalooza
As one of the biggest summer festivals, Lollapalooza follows a string of major events that have already kicked off this year’s celebration season.
Recently, New York City was filled with massive crowds and vibrant parades as St. Patrick’s Day celebrations took over the streets.
Just a few weeks prior, Mardi Gras reached its spectacular grand finale in New Orleans, closing out weeks of festivities with colorful floats and packed streets.
Meanwhile, in Florida, the historic 90th anniversary of the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City brought music, entertainment, and a brand-new stage for visitors to enjoy.
