The Heavy-Hitting Headliners!
Lollapalooza 2025 isn’t holding back — this year’s headliners are an eclectic mix of chart-toppers and cult favorites, promising a four-day sonic adventure like no other.

Joining her is the award-winning pop star Sabrina Carpenter, who’s been carving out her own lane with catchy, confident hits and undeniable charisma, thanks to a shot of “Espresso“. In the rap arena, Tyler, The Creator and A$AP Rocky are poised to dominate with their signature genre-bending sounds and high-octane energy, while rising star Doechii and indie darling Gracie Abrams bring their own unique vibes to the main stage.
For EDM fans, the dreamy soundscapes of Aussie electronic trio RÜFÜS DU SOL are set to be an atmospheric highlight, while country superstar Luke Combs breaks new ground as the first country artist ever to close out the fest. Meanwhile, K-pop powerhouse TWICE will bring their perfectly synchronized choreography and addictive hooks to the stage, adding a global flair to the lineup. And for rock and metal purists, Korn’s raw and gritty anthems are sure to hit hard, proving that their legendary status remains unshaken for decades.
A True Genre-Melting Pot
While the headliners alone could carry the weekend, the undercard lineup is just as impressive, boasting a dynamic blend of sounds that make Lollapalooza truly one of a kind.
Indie and alternative fans will find plenty to love with acts like Clairo, Bleachers, Wallows, and Foster the People serving up their signature vibes. Throwback vibes are guaranteed courtesy of T-Pain on deck, while award-winning artists Finneas is set to captivate with his introspective lyrics and stripped-back performance style.
But that’s just the start. Rock aficionados will be treated to the gritty raw energy of Cage the Elephant that will shake things up, while Rebecca Black’s viral resurgence promises a performance that could surprise many. Further, Dominic Fike will deliver his genre-hopping anthems, while Magdalena Bay’s kaleidoscopic pop-electronica promises to be a standout. The lineup doesn’t stop there, either. Fans craving for raw, unfiltered hip-hop energy can look forward to JPEGMAFIA and Isaiah Rashad, while Sierra Ferrell’s eclectic Americana sound will add a touch of rootsy charm.
For those drawn to underground and experimental sounds, Overmono’s forward-thinking electronic beats and Bossman Dlow’s Chicago-flavored flow will keep things fresh. Meanwhile, Otoboke Beaver’s riotous punk and Djo’s indie-pop magic are bound to keep the crowd on their toes. Rising stars like Mau P, Barry Can’t Swim, and Fujii Kaze are also marked as must-sees, giving festival-goers a chance to catch the next big thing before they blow up.
