Things are a little tight these days, so getting tickets to one of the major music festivals this year might be out of the question. Luckily, you’ll be able to watch them live on Disney+!

This week, the streaming service announced that it’ll live stream the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits Music Festival on both Disney+ and Hulu for the first time.

Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival will take place in Tennessee June 11 – 14 and feature artists like The Strokes, Skrillex, Yungblud, Teddy Swims, Alabama Shakes, Noah Kahan, Kesha and Role Model.

Lollapalooza is taking over Chicago on July 30 – August 2 and feature Lorde, John Summit, Charli XCX, the Smashing Pumpkins, Olivia Dean, Jennie, Tat McCrae and the XX among others.

Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas will be on October 2 – 4 and will showcase Charli XCX, Skrillex, The Chainsmokers, Jesse Welles, Steve Aoki, Rebecca Black, Lorde, Paris Paloma, Turnstile, Bleachers and more.

While there’s more details to come about each stream, Disney says both platforms will have live, on-site content for each festival—what they’re calling “Live Set.” The studio will feature artist interviews and behind-the-scenes content.

“Music festivals used to be experiences reserved for the people who could physically be there,” said Kevin Chernett, EVP, Head of Global Media Partnerships at Live Nation. “Now they’re becoming global live moments that fans want to experience together in real time, no matter where they are in the world. Expanding this partnership with Disney+ and Hulu allows these festivals to reach music fans at an entirely different scale.”

This is Hulu’s sixth year of livestreaming these Live Nation festivals globally. According to the 2025 Live Nation Living for Live Global Study, 73% of fans say that they are listening to more international artists than they used to, while 85% agree that live music now transcends borders and languages.

So wherever you are, you can tune in to see your favorite artists perform live on stage without paying those ticket fees!
