Watch Sabrina Carpenter And Olivia Rodrigo's Lollapalooza Headline Sets At Home
Lollapalooza is back in Chicago's Grant Park this weekend, once again transforming the city into a four-day celebration of global music. While more than 170 acts are set to take the stage, a select few — Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, the Creator and Sabrina Carpenter — are headlining. Tens of thousands of fans are expected to attend, but for those who can't make it to Chicago, there's a way to catch the must-see sets at home. Hulu Continues as Lollapalooza's Streaming Home Kicking off Thursday, July 31, Hulu will once again serve as the exclusive streaming partner for Lollapalooza. The streaming platform will film live performances from the festival's eight stages for all to enjoy. Coverage begins at 2:00 PM PST on the first day, and then throughout the rest of the weekend, it will start at 12:00 PM PST. For those who don't subscribe to Hulu, free trials are available, and there are also packages that combine with Disney+. Check out the full Lollapalooza 2025 schedule. Olivia Rodrigo Headlines for the First Time One of pop music's biggest current stars, Olivia Rodrigo, makes her highly anticipated Lollapalooza debut this year – and as a headliner, no less. She just finished her Guts World Tour, but she's not done performing for the moment, as her set will surely be one of the most-attended. Sabrina Carpenter Returns Two years after her first Lollapalooza performance, Sabrina Carpenter will return to the festival in a headlining slot. Since she was last at the event, she's become one of the biggest names in the global music industry, with hits like 'Espresso' and 'Please Please Please' turning her into a household name, and even earning her several Grammy Awards. Tyler, the Creator Makes Lollapalooza History Tyler, the Creator returns to the Lollapalooza main stage for a second consecutive year, which is a rare feat that underscores how hugely popular he is. His timing couldn't be better, as his brand new surprise album Don't Tap the Glass currently sits at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and he invades the Hot 100 and several of Billboard's hip-hop charts with a bevy of tunes. Big Firsts for Twice, Luke Combs & Korn This year's lineup includes a series of major milestones as well. K-pop powerhouse girl group Twice becomes the first female K-pop band to headline Lollapalooza – also just after a new project reached the highest tier on the Billboard 200. Country superstar Luke Combs takes on the role of the festival's first country closer, which speaks to the genre's growing popularity. Hard rockers Korn return for the band's first Lolla performance in nearly three decades. A Genre-Spanning Lineup for Lollapalooza 2025 Beyond the headliners, Lollapalooza's 2025 roster is flush with many of today's most exciting names in seemingly every genre. Artists like Doechii, Gracie Abrams, Finneas, Clairo, A$AP Rocky and dozens of others will perform at what has become one of the most important music festivals in the world.

NASCAR Will Not Race in Downtown Chicago Next Season
Over the past three seasons, NASCAR's annual 4th of July weekend race on the streets of Chicago has gone from a bold experiment to a successful proof-of-concept for stock car racing in the streets of any given city in America. It will not continue into 2026. In a statement shared to social media on Friday evening, organizers say that the race "will hit pause in 2026" in order to "explore a new potential date" and "further [optimize] operational efficiencies." This, the statement claims, is being done with the goal of resuming the race in 2027. NASCAR saw impressive racing over three years on a surprisingly wide temporary street circuit in the heart of Grant Park in downtown Chicago. Each weekend included two races, one Xfinity Series event and one Cup Series race. Shane van Gisbergen, who entered five of the six events ever held, won four. The only other winners in track history are 2024 Cup Series winner Alex Bowman and 2023 Xfinity Series winner Cole Custer. The Chicago street circuit requires significant logistical commitment from the city, which offers up public streets around Grant Park as a track during the event. Since the race lasts a full weekend and road closures start the Monday before the race, any date the series chooses will significantly impact part of the city for a full week. That means a delay was a likely outcome if either NASCAR or the city felt that a 2026 Fourth of July weekend date was untenable. While Chicago will not be on the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series or Xfinity Series schedules, a rumored date in San Diego could serve as a spiritual successor to the event. Specific details of that proposal are expected to be announced as soon as next week.
