Chicago’s iconic annual music festival at Grant Park is back this weekend as Lollapalooza is set to rock the city from July 30 to August 2. More than 170 musical acts will perform across eight stages throughout the weekend, including this year's headliners Charli XCX, Tate McRae, Lorde, Olivia Dean, John Summit, Jennie, The Smashing Pumpkins and The xx.
Adding to that excitement is the fact that Jennie is making history as the first female Korean soloist to headline Lolla. If you're not already well-versed in the Jennie Kim lore, she's a South Korean singer, rapper, global fashion icon and, of course, a member of the record-breaking K-pop group Blackpink. In addition to her achievements with the group, she's built a massive solo career, releasing her solo album Ruby in 2025. She also starred in HBO's The Idol, collaborated with artists like The Weeknd ("One of the Girls") and serves as a global ambassador for luxury fashion houses like Chanel.
To get you prepped for that historic set, here's everything you need to know about Jennie's groundbreaking appearance at Lollapalooza 2026.
