Lollapalooza put out its 2024 festival lineup Tuesday morning, with headliners including huge names such as SZA, Tyler, the Creator, Hozier, Stray Kids, Metro Boomin and more.
At the top of this year’s lineup is singer-songwriter SZA, who has already had a historic year with nine Grammy nominations and three wins. The artist first performed at the Chicago festival in 2015 with a smaller set during the day and will now take over the main stage as a headlining act.
Irish musician Hozier will also take to the festival after increasing his popularity by teasing new releases on social media. His performance follows the release of his hit 2023 album “Unreal Unearth.”
K-pop returns to the big stage after TXT saw success as a headliner last year, with eight-piece Stray Kids becoming the second-ever K-pop act to headline the festival.
Rock bands blink-182 and The Killers add to the headlining list along with alternative artist Melanie Martinez, DJ Skrillex and rap act Future X Metro Boomin.

Multiple other breakout artists will be performing at the festival outside of headlining acts.
Star of the 2024 remake of cult classic “Mean Girls” Reneé Rapp will play at the festival, as well as this year’s Grammy winner for Traditional Pop Vocal Album: Laufey with the Chicago Philharmonic.
Artists popularized on TikTok like Benson Boone, Lizzy McApline and Tate McRae will also be performing at the festival.
Boone has seen huge success on the app with his recent release “Beautiful Things,” with an entire extended play consisting of various versions of the song coming out last month. The hit has already amassed over 300 million listens on Spotify, and Boone shows no signs of slowing down, as the teaser for his newest single has already been used as audio in over 16 thousand TikTok videos.
McRae made a splash on the music scene with her 2023 album “THINK LATER,” which gained immense popularity with hit singles “greedy” and “exes.” “greedy” has already reached almost one billion listens on Spotify; the Canadian dancer and artist appears to be on the rise as the next huge pop star.
McAlpine, set to release her new album “Older” next month, will be playing the festival for the first time as well after gaining huge popularity on TikTok with her hit “ceilings.”
Additional artists who snuck into the lineup include singer-songwriter Kesha, DJ Zedd, Sexyy Red, Vince Staples, rock group Pierce The Veil, alternative metal band Deftones and Victoria Monét, this year’s Grammy winner for Best New Artist.
This year’s festival will take place from Aug. 1-4, with tickets going on sale on March 21 at noon CT. More information can be found here.
